we're hosting a sample sale in the Chicago region!
Join us at Hawthorn in Vernon Hills, IL on September 12-13, 2025.
We rarely host in-person shopping events and we don't run sitewide sales, so we expect this sale to be popular. This is your chance to try on different styles, touch our fabrics, see the colors, and meet fellow community members.

frequently asked questions
WHAT WILL I FIND AT THE SAMPLE SALE?
Sample sale items consist of many first quality items such as retired styles and colors, prototypes and some returns that were unable to be restocked for various reasons. We'll have an assortment of wool& product (tops, bottoms, and dresses). We make every effort to launder sample sale items when needed so items will be clean, but there may be a stray hair or lint.
Please note: we cannot guarantee the history of any items in our sample sale. If you have severe allergies, please be aware that these items may have been in contact with pets or scents.
HOW IS THE SAMPLE SALE DIFFERENT FROM THE MYSTERY SALE?
The sample sale is an in-person pop-up event and your best chance to try on sizes and explore our merino fabrics. It's also your chance to score some one of a kind prototypes.
WHAT SHOULD I BRING?
Please bring your own shopping bag/tote. We will have some bags available, but reusable bags are always a good idea.
CAN I TRY ITEMS ON?
Yes! Fitting rooms will be available, but customers at previous sample sales have also found it helpful to wear leggings and a slim-fitting top for easy try-ons.
CAN I USE A GIFT CARD?
Gift cards cannot be used for sample sale purchases.
CAN I PAY WITH CASH?
This is a cashless sale. We will accept electronic payments only.
HOW ELSE CAN I GET INVOLVED?
You've probably heard of our online community—wool& Community: Wardrobe Challenges & Chat. Our customers love to connect and share styling inspiration in our community; we hope you'll join too.
We will also host an in-person community meet up during this event. Details TBD! Drop your email in the form at the top of this page to stay in the loop.
