Vente-privée.com, a website offering exclusive sample sales on brand-name apparel and home accessories, just launched in Spain today.
Vente-privée.com is the pioneer and leader on its market in France. In the past 9 months, more than 15 similar websites have launched trying to get a piece of the business that Vente-privée.com created in 2000.
Let's see if the sample sale fever catches on in Europe, as this "private club" sales model is really embedded in French/Parisian culture, but not in the other EU countries.
In New York and LA, sample sales organized in private lofts are a common thing. The closest thing to Vente-privée.com over there is Planet Lulu.
My guess is their next expansion country will be Germany.
