Shopping Intel: Lanvin for H&M

Unless you've been living under a rock in a cave somewhere in the Amazon rainforest, you'd have heard about the Lanvin for H&M collaboration. As every shopaholic would know, strategy is of the utmost importance in major shopping events like this one, so here we have some crucial info regarding the first day of sale so as to help everyone strategize and snatch that much coveted collection right off the racks and into our shopping bags!

Date: November 23, 2010

Time: Starts at 8:00 am sharp

Stores: ONLY available at the H&M stores in Central, TST, Elements, and Langham Place

Ground rules: Each customer can only buy ONE piece of ONE size out of every item available.

Logistics for the Ladies: The first 320 customers will be separated into 16 different groups (20 customers per group) and each customer will be given a wristband (one of the 16 different colors representing 16 groups) which has a specified time on it and each customer will be given 10 minutes each to shop in the Lanvin section. If you're the 321st customer, you will need to wait until all 16 groups have finished shopping before you can get into the Lanvin section and pick up whatever that is left.

Logistics for the Gents: NO time limit for us gentlemen. So no wristbands, no groups.

I hope EVERY shopper will get whatever item their hearts desire! Here's a list of all the items with prices in HKD for some even earlier planning at home:
