Popular sample sale goes online, with a little help from eBay


Girls who used to love Diego Garcia's trunk shows have reason to cheer: The traveling fashion bazaar, co-created last year by novelist Erica Kennedy and her best friend, Aisha Salmon, just opened a shop online at www.diegogarcialtd.com.

The style-savvy pair resell designer merchandise, vintage threads and their original Beach Chic line, which includes hard-to-find Mexican tops. "Last summer we imported all these clothes and sold them to people in a sample sale-type atmosphere for fun," says Kennedy. Each week brings new things on the eBay-based site.

Shopaholics can soon send in pictures and descriptions of some of their own treasures to be sold on the site - and become one of what Kennedy calls the "Diego girls," her friends who scour the earth for finds. Selling clothes you never wear, she says, "takes away some of your guilt. It's like you're repenting!"-Nicole Lyn Pesce
