I dropped into the sample sale for London-based brand L.K. Bennett. This brand specializes in ready-to-wear, shoes, handbags, and accessories. Apparently, it’s a favorite for Kate Middleton.

Anyway, the sale is located in a showroom on Madison Ave in Midtown NYC. Be prepared to check your coat and bag at the door. Also, there were no pictures allowed, unfortunately. The good news is that there is plenty of quality merchandise left, even with the sale scheduled to end on the 24^th.

There were two rooms – one for clothes and the other for shoes – and a small area off to the side for accessories (mainly clutches, all very pretty). It was well organized by size and there was a range of sizes available from 2 to 14 (ready-to-wear clothing) and 5 to 12 (shoes). I was way more excited and impressed by the shoe selection than by the clothes. There were sandals, pumps, and boots in lovely colors with pretty embellishments in leather, suede, and fabric. In the clothes area, I saw mainly dresses (print and solid) and pants (mainly solid).

The Verdict

If you like the brand and/or are curious about it (as I was), then it’s worth dropping in. Apparently, they have added more merchandise. I walked away with a lovely pair of Kristen knee-high boots that I’m excited about! The color is pink nude rose and they are leather with a block heel that is about 3.5 inches high.

They are going to be great for all and early spring because they’re a versatile height and color. So I can wear them with jeans and pants, as well as skirts and even shorts. These boots are available here (only in black) and there is an ankle version in the same pink nude color here.
