Best LA & OC Sample Sales by Month: October–November 2026 Calendar

By Mereyah Smith · Updated November 2, 2026

Sample sales in Southern California do not follow one master calendar. Each brand and venue sets its own dates, often with only a week or two of notice. Still, patterns do emerge once you track enough sales. This page groups the sales currently listed on the StealDrop SoCal tracker by month and adds the recurring rhythms you can plan around. We update the tracker as new sales are announced, so treat this as a snapshot and check the live list for the newest additions.

All dates below come directly from our listings, which are compiled from public sources such as Uncover LA, BargainsLA and the California Market Center calendar. Always confirm with the host before you go.

October 2026

October was packed, with sales spread across LA, OC, the Inland Empire and North San Diego County.

Earlier October sales (Reformation, RtA, Ganni, John Varvatos, True Religion, Oakley, Fox Racing and more) have wrapped. Still to come:

Staud Sample Sale — Oct 28–Nov 1 at 260LA in Beverly Hills.
Farm Rio Sample Sale — Oct 28–Nov 1 at Eclipse L.A. in West Hollywood.
Cuts Warehouse Sale — Oct 29–Nov 1 at Alternative Retail in Tustin.
Current Air Warehouse Sample Sale — Sat Oct 31, 7–11am, Boyle Heights.
California Market Center Sample Sale — Friday Oct 30, 9am–3pm, DTLA.
The New Mart Sample Sale — Friday Oct 30, 9am–5pm, DTLA.

November 2026

November is when showroom activity in the Fashion District ramps up. The California Market Center has three CMC Holiday Sample Sales listed, each with participating showrooms and free entry at Building C, 110 E 9th St. Brand sales confirmed so far:

Mother Sample Sale — Nov 4–8 at Eclipse DTLA.
Gianvito Rossi Sample Sale and Proenza Schouler Sample Sale — Nov 4–8 at 260LA in Beverly Hills.
Autumn Cashmere + ATM Sample Sale — Nov 11–15 at Eclipse L.A.

CMC Holiday Sample Sale dates:

The Staud sale at 260LA also runs into November, closing Nov 1. Brand sales for November are typically announced a week or two ahead, so expect the list to grow. Subscribing to our weekly email is the easiest way to catch them.

Patterns you can plan around all year

Specific brands and dates change, but a few rhythms are reliable enough to build a habit around:

Last Friday of the month in DTLA. The LA Fashion District says showroom sample sales typically happen on the last Friday of every month from about 9am to 3pm, with frequency picking up in November and December. Our October 30 listings for CMC and The New Mart fit that pattern exactly. See our DTLA showroom guide.
Venue rotations on Robertson and in Beverly Hills. Eclipse L.A. at 315 S Robertson Blvd hosted RtA and then John Varvatos in back-to-back weeks this October. 260LA hosted Ganni and then Staud. Venues like these often book sales week after week, so following the venue is as useful as following a brand.
Wednesday-to-Sunday runs. Many venue sales open midweek and run through Sunday, often with a VIP day on the Tuesday or the day before opening.
OC warehouse clusters. Tustin, Irvine, Lake Forest, Huntington Beach and Costa Mesa all had sales in the same October fortnight. Alternative Retail alone hosted sales in Tustin and Carlsbad. If you live in OC, it is worth checking weekly.
Inland Empire long runs. The Corona warehouse sales for Oakley and Fox Racing ran across two weekends rather than one.

How to use this calendar

Pick the sales that match your sizes and budget, then open each listing for the address, notes and a link to the original source. Filter the live tracker by area and by "This weekend" or "Next 2 weeks" to see what is coming up right now. If a sale needs an RSVP, book it the moment you see it; timed slots for popular warehouse sales can fill. Our guide on getting early access covers that in detail.

Why we don't list sales we can't confirm

Every listing on StealDrop links to a public source. When two sources disagree, like the Homeboy Threads date, we say so in the listing notes rather than quietly picking one. We would rather show fewer sales than send you across town to an empty parking lot. If you are a brand or venue hosting a sale, you can submit it free through the form on the SoCal page.

We will refresh this page as the calendar fills in. Bookmark it, and check the tracker before each weekend.
