Sell, sell, sell!

'Tis the season for sample sales and what a bumper crop I have for you. I love it when friends and readers just send me stuff because they know that I'll want to know. In the past couple of days I've just had people sending me info about all the designer/sample sales going on in London in the next couple of weeks. This list comes from my friend Jacob. He is, as you would expect, a very dapper gent.
