Sample Sales in Brooklyn — 2026 Guide
Everything you need to know about finding and attending sample sales in Brooklyn, NYC.
While Manhattan remains the undisputed capital of NYC sample sales — home to 260 Sample Sale, Soiffer Haskin, and the major Garment District events — Brooklyn has developed its own active and growing sample sale scene. Concentrated in Williamsburg, DUMBO, and Greenpoint, Brooklyn sample sales tend to feature independent and contemporary designers, emerging labels, and Brooklyn-based fashion studios rather than the major international luxury houses.
The Brooklyn sample sale experience is also different in character from Manhattan events: generally less crowded, often held directly in studio or showroom spaces, and with a more relaxed, community-driven atmosphere. For shoppers looking to support independent designers and find pieces that are genuinely unique, Brooklyn sample sales offer a compelling alternative — or complement — to the major Manhattan events.
For the broadest possible selection of designer sample sales including both Manhattan and Brooklyn events, our NYC Sample Sales This Week guide covers everything happening in New York City in one place.
