abacaxi — Portuguese for pineapple — is known for saturated color and handwork: mirrorwork, plant dyes, embroidery and handloomed organic cotton made with artisan partners in Tamil Nadu. Designer Sheena Sood has never done an in-person sample sale before, so this is the first chance to dig through past collections at deep markdowns. If you've been eyeing a dress from the brand but balked at full price, this is your two-day window.
What to expect
Head to the back of the building, ride the elevator to the fifth floor and follow the signs to the studio, which shares a floor with Shop Berriez. Inside, racks of past-season clothing and accessories are marked down, and the brand asks shoppers to RSVP so it can manage any line.
Good to know
- RSVP on the Partiful page — the brand uses it to plan for lines.
- Take the G to Classon Avenue or Flushing Avenue and walk a few blocks.
- The entrance elevator is at the back of the building; follow the signs once upstairs.
- Opening hours are the best bet for the widest size range.
- Friends are welcome, so it's an easy group shopping trip.
