Brisbane Arcade marketing manager Andrea Bite said the four day long annual sale always creates a flurry of excitement.
“It’s a chance for many shoppers to come and snap up a treasure trove of goods from our stunning Brisbane Arcade retailers,” Ms Bite said.
“There is nothing like the feeling of swindling a bargain.
“In many cases the items at our annual workroom sale … are one-offs or truly from Brisbane Arcade workrooms where many of our retailers make and craft their designs and creations.”
There are tonnes of renowned brands, designer pieces, never-seen-before samples and seconds up for grabs that you can get your hands on. And with a café in the arcade and access to the central Queen St Mall, it’s the perfect opportunity to plan a day in the city and enjoy the morning before diving into the never-seen-before finds when the sale commences each morning.
The Workroom Sale will be kicking off at 10am tomorrow, Thursday January 30 and will run until Sunday February 2. We’ll be there snapping up bargains, will you?
