Shoppers Hub is running a branded warehouse clearance at Quill City Mall in Kuala Lumpur from 30 October to 15 November, advertised at up to 90% off clothing, shoes, bags and accessories. Deepavali falls on Sunday 8 November this year, so the clearance opens nine days before the festival and only closes a week after it. That timing splits the family. Festive clothes need to be in the wardrobe by the first week of November, which leaves exactly one weekend inside the clearance window, and that is the same weekend the rest of KL turns up. The deepest cuts at these warehouse events also tend to land on the sizes nobody wears, and the racks left by the second week are odd lots. The alternative is paying more at a mall Deepavali sale over the next two weeks and keeping time for alterations, or buying early at the clearance and hoping the queue on 31 October is not the whole morning. I have done it both ways and the alterations part is what usually decides it for me. So which way are you doing it this year — buy early and pay more, or gamble on the clearance?

Went to a similar clearance at Quill City two years back and the first morning was the only day worth going. By lunch the common sizes were gone and what was left was the odd lots.
For festive wear I need the set ready for the temple visit, so alterations matter more to me than the markdown. A tailor two weeks out is already fully booked.
The online festive sales have already started and the return window is worth more than the queue at a mall clearance. Try it at home, send back what does not fit.
Kids outgrow festive clothes in one season. I buy theirs from the clearance after the festival and keep it for next year, sizes for a seven year old are easy to guess.
Parking at Quill City on a Saturday is the real cost of that trip. Last clearance I spent more time queueing to get into the car park than picking anything.
Have a look at the home section too. Towels and bedsheets are usually the honest part of these warehouse events because nobody fights over them.
