Chelsea Sample Sales NYC — Complete Guide
Everything you need to know about Chelsea Sample Sales NYC events, brands, locations, and how to stay ahead of the calendar.
Chelsea is one of New York City's most important sample sale hubs, home to Metropolitan Pavilion — one of the largest dedicated event spaces in the city — alongside a growing number of gallery and loft venues that host major designer sample sales throughout the year.
Metropolitan Pavilion, located at 125 W 18th Street, is used by major fashion brands and organizers when they need serious floor space and the ability to handle large-scale foot traffic. Its proximity to SoHo, the Meatpacking District, and the Garment District makes it ideally placed for fashion events, and it has hosted some of the biggest single-brand and multi-brand sample sale pop-ups in NYC history.
In addition to Metropolitan Pavilion, 260 Sample Sale operates from Chelsea locations for many of their events, making Chelsea a reliable destination for luxury and contemporary brand sample sales year-round.
