If your wallet hasn't been wiped out by this month's sample sales yet, department store markdowns are about to change that. Over at Bergdorf Goodman, they're getting ready to take 40% off on ready-to-wear, shoes, and handbags from contemporary collections during the 5F Fall Frenzy sale, while Madison Avenue Spy noticed pre-sale signs in Saks Fifth Avenue for the same discount on the likes of Carven, Iro, 3.1 Phillip Lim, and more. Consider this a warm-up to the shopping madness that kicks off on Black Friday.
