How To Navigate Tomorrow's Sample Sales In Downtown L.A.

Where Are The Sample Sales? (Cont'd.)

The California Market Center, which is across the street from the New Mart, is another giant building with a collection of designer showrooms.  Once you enter the lobby, look for a large poster-board telling you which showrooms are having sample sales.  If you're overwhelmed by the amount of information, don't worry; the CMC is organized by product category, so if you don't know exactly what you're looking for, but you know you want something, say European, just head to the appropriate floor and wing.  A description of the CMC showroom areas can be found on their website.
