Jewelry by Slane & Slane, a dress by Gregory Parkinson


There is a LOT of sale shopping to be done this first December weekend – for presents, for yourself – and even if you don’t’ want to spend money, it will be fun just to pop in – cause there will be plenty of other people congregating there.    

Divine Design is 60% off this weekend – in the old May Company building at Wilshire and Santa Monica. There is a low ticket price at the door, but the bargains inside more than make up for it – designer clothes for women, men and children. 


The Slane & Slane jewelry sample sale continues on on Saturday, from noon to 4pm. Fabulous necklaces, bracelets, rings, earrings – all fifty off. 172 North Las Palmas Avenue in Hancock Park. Killer present warning!


And also on Saturday, at 1116 Abbot Kinney Boulevard in Venice at LFrank Jewerly, the sample sale of jewelry by Liseanne Frankfurt, clothes by Gregory Parkinson, and leather goods by Kendall Conrad continues from 12pm to 6pm. If you can’t find something you like at this sale by three talented designers, well – you are immune to design.


Then, wake up on Sunday and hop on over to the A List Sample Sale, organized by Carolyn Bray, who’s got amazing amounts of barely worn clothes by Rick Owens, Lanvin, Dries – you name it. She’s got belts, scarves, t shirts, bags – it’s just ridiculous, really. Miss this only at your own risk. We know all your friends will be there. It’s from 11:15am to 4pm at 1151 N. Genesee in Hollywood, between Santa Monica Boulevard and Fountain. You will even find leather jackets you’ll crave. We kid you not.


So have a fashion-happy, money-saving weekend. – Merle Ginsberg 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The jewelry of Heath and Landon Slane – better known as Slane & Slane – is really special: heavy link chains in gold or silver as bracelets and necklaces with pendants in the form of beautifully designed bees, hummingbirds, joy wheels and Fenestras – windows that let in light, from the Latin. Their rings in oversized stones are also magnificent.

 

But their jewelry isn’t often on sale, so this week is a great opportunity – whether it’s gifts for yourself, or gifts for family and friends. It’s the Slane & Slane jewelry sample sale, and it also allows another design opportunity -  it’s at Heath Slane’s home in Hancock Park, at 172 North Las Palmas. The hours are Thursday December 4 from 4pm to 8pm; Friday December 5 from 11pm to 5pm, and Saturday December 6 from 12pm to 4pm, but you must call (323) 939 7515 or rsvp to makimetzger@slaneandslane.com. Normally, their prices are in the range of $150.00 to $10,000.00 – now they are 50% off, as $75.00 to $5000.00. Cash or credit cards are accepted.
