Exclusive to Clever Alice
Samples & one-of-one pieces
Alongside our designer collections, we carry true showroom samples from the labels we work with. Many are a single piece in a single size.
What we carry
-
Designer samples
Showroom and runway samples direct from the designers we work with. These are the pieces buyers saw first — often produced in a single size, sometimes never produced at all.
-
One of one
A large share of what we carry is a single piece in a single size. When it's gone, it's gone — there is no restock and no reorder.

Sample shopping, explained
- What size are samples?
- Most designer samples are cut in a showroom size — typically a US 2–6 (FR 34–38, IT 38–42). Every listing states the exact size on the label, and we'll measure a piece flat on request.
- Are samples new?
- Samples are unworn by customers but may have been photographed, fitted on a model, or shown in a showroom. Any mark, alteration, or missing label is noted in the product description.
- Can I get another one in my size?
- Usually no. One-of-one pieces are exactly that. Join the list below and we'll flag similar cuts from the same label when they land.
- How fast do they sell?
- Single-piece styles often sell the week they're listed. If you're deciding, add it to your bag — the cart is the only way to hold it through checkout.
