Welcome to Racked's new Weekly Agenda: a rundown of the week's best sales, store events, pop-up shops, and more. Highlights include the Hermès sample sale at Soiffer Haskin, Erica Weiner's studio moving sale, and a special party at Alexis Bittar. See the full list laid out by day after the jump.
Monday: Today's the last day to stop by Birchbox Local's Chelsea Market shop for makeup touch-ups, manis, and more. Book an appointment ($15 each), or put together your own box at the mega sample wall. It closes at 8pm tonight; more details here and here.
Also happening today: A.P.C.'s collaboration with Eastpak officially debuts in stores. The collection is composed of three styles: a classic backpack, a larger backpack, and a golf bag.
Wednesday: The now-annual Hermès sample sale returns to Soiffer Haskin at 9am. Hopefully, this month's sale will be better than last year's—at that one, there weren't any scarves, jewelry, bags, or bangles, and all ready-to-wear was only discounted around 50% off. See the dealfeed for the full list of dates and hours.
Thursday: The Alexis Bittar store in Soho reopens today, with a party from 6pm to 9pm. According to one of our commenters, the "taxidermy" mascot is a unicorn.
Earlier in the day, stop by The Strand's vintage book pop-up shop at the SMSKCC Thrift Shop for first-editions, signed copies, and more. Additional info here.
Friday: If the Hermès sale isn't your thing, no need to worry: Erica Weiner is hosting a giant sample sale starting at 4pm, where one-of-a-kind samples and studio equipment will be up for grabs. The sale will be held at her current Manhattan studio (195 Chrystie Street), which she's trading in for a bigger space in Greenpoint. See the dealfeed for hours.
