Cops had to shut down a Versace sample sale in Chelsea on Wednesday after more than 1,000 deal-savvy shoppers flocked to the store, with fights breaking out before shoppers could even get their hands on the discounted designer labels.
Videos shared on social media captured the chaotic scene unfolding just after 9 a.m. at 125 W. 18th St. as thousands of shoppers crowded the sidewalks — some having waited in line for hours — only for a fight to cause the sale to be shut down by police just before noon, the NYPD told The Post.
Within hours, the store’s security had to enlist the NYPD’s help to control the crowd.
The event was temporarily shut down and later reopened. No arrests were made, police said.
Videos of the massive crowd and images of shoppers looking to purchase pieces by the famed designer being escorted away by police flooded social media early Wednesday.
*** Many New Yorkers took to X to express their disbelief over the silly skirmish.
“Some people will sacrifice necessities, just to have the ‘right’ labels on. Smh,” one person wrote.
“The NYC Versace sample sale ending in 35 minutes bc y’all don’t know how to act is wild,” another chimed in.
“Rushing the door for a Versace sample sale is egregious behavior lmao,” another person said. ***

Hasidic Jews?........................
How and why did versace become a “thing” in the black community?
“I want be a part of it New York, New York!..”
Also, looks more like looters than buyers.
I guess some folks just do it differently than me and my family.
“deal-savvy shoppers”
Yeah sure....that’s what they are 👌
It won’t be soon and Versace won’t be thought of as high end anymore. Happens to a lot of brands.
19 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
Matthew 6:19-21
New International Version
Samples are generally size 8 or 10 at the most. Don’t see one person in the picture a sample would fit.
Maybe instead of seceding from the Union, the Sane States should secede the Insane States from the Union.
Huh. Do they sell work boots?
I didn’t even needto see that picture.......sadly.
“..Huh. Do they sell work boots?....”
LOL... Naaaa, IF they did, the sidewalk and street would be totally empty.
Black people love spending all their money on vanity and goods that lose value.
Investing involves Math, which is white, and therefore racist.
Shoes, clothes, wheels, cars, all well beyond disposable income level.
If one is truthful, blacks are mostly incapable of self care.
See Africa.
Woops! A picture is worth a thousand [banned] words.
How else dey gwine know you's quality?
Sad
“ How and why did versace become a “thing” in the black community?”
No idea, unless Beyoncé or someone similar wore one at some point. Cracks me up though. Do they know Versace was a white guy? Do they know how they look out there with their Versace bag and hoodie? I think there may be something cultural about wearing or displaying your “wealth”. Funny part is most actual wealthy people don’t buy designer crap.
