Alert! There's No Line Outside of the Marc Jacobs Sample Sale

Despite being at least 40 strong this morning (and at least 80-strong yesterday), the line outside the Marc Jacobs sample sale right now is... completely nonexistent! If ever there was an ideal time to take a long lunch, this would would be it.

We'll have a spotcheck up shortly, but in the meantime, here's what we found when the doors opened yesterday. And in equally happy news, the Loeffler Randall sample sale, which returns next Thursday, has already started setting up shop across the street. Things are happening!
