From a Racked reader: "I went to the Kenneth Cole sample sale, and lets just say that it was a spectacle worth watching. The prices were all right, but could have been a lot better. They have too much stuff, so the prices are definitely going down by Friday. That didn't stop people from going bananas over accessories such as handbags, sunglasses and messenger bags. However, the shoes were reasonably priced, but it was impossible to find sizes." [Racked Inbox]
