Lambertson Truex makes high-quality, sometimes over-the-top leathergoods -- beautiful bags, belts, gloves, accessories. If you need anything in that funny-named category, "small leathergoods," then here is your chance. Think Christmas, think Hanukkah, which is VERY early this year, providing a handy excuse for shopping, as if you really needed one. Merchandise is up to 80% off retail, and there is sure to be a little trinket here with your name on it.

This is another Soiffer-Haskin sale, but at a new location, at least just for this sale: Metropolitan Pavilion, 123 W. 18th St. (between Sixth & Seventh Aves.); from Wednesday, December 5th through Friday the 7th, from 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. daily. This time, NO cash (unlike the TSE sale last week); plastic only, no checks; no strollers, no children under 12.

We're not sure just what this sale is promising today, but we're going to check it out later and we'll report from the front.  It's allegedly supposed to have Gucci and Pucci…and Chanel and Hermès.  We shall see just how much of each of these houses it actually has for sale…and for how much off.  The material sent to us by our friends at Lazar Media says that there will be clothing and accessories at 75% off.  Stay tuned for tonight's report.  But in the meantime, here is what you need to know:  It's today and tomorrow, at the Shoreham Hotel, 33 West 55th Street (between Fifth and Sixth Avenues), Ground Floor; from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.....credit cards accepted.

Oh goody, goody, goody….just in time for Fashion Week, the fashion sales are starting!  Soiffer Haskin is kicking off the week with three days (and three days only) of Ghurka sales (luggage, bags, accessories).  Ghurka's goods are supposed to look like they were made a century or two ago by gifted master craftsmen …hand-cobbling exquisite leather goods perhaps for the British army's brigade of Ghurkas.  At any rate, the leathergoods are, in fact, made quite handsomely, sturdily, and stylishly.  And well worth their price at retail, so you can imagine what a steal they are when they're heavily discounted!

Superior Leather Restorers. "But if it were made of leather, we'd be able to do it." Rosen's been restoring and repairing leather goods for 45 years and there isn't anything that he cannot repair -- from your most delicate lavender, buttery-suede trench coat with a nasty stain on it to a special designer handbag that needs new straps. 

Celine, the French maker of fine quality small leather goods, as well as handbags, shoes, and tailored, tasteful accessories, is ending a sample sale today…and if only we'd had the two seconds to post it yesterday.  But, you have until 3 p.m. tomorrow, Thursday to make it there, to get yourself to the company's offices (at 19 East 57th St., 8th floor, 212-931-2120), to take advantage of the huge savings on the luxury goods.  Bring ID to get into the building and a credit card to pay for your bounty.
