It’s less than a few weeks away from the Studio C sample sale and we have a sneak peek for you and details on the sale.
Have you not heard of Studio C? Formerly known as Carolina Pad, they’re a longtime Charlotte business since 1945 selling school supplies that boast stripes, dots, gold foil, and so many other fun patterns it’s hard to count.
They are moving from their 25,000-square-foot headquarters soon and plan to take as little product with them as possible. These school supplies aren’t your regular old spiral bound notebooks and folders, these supplies will speak to the pattern lover in all of us.
This is a great sale for teachers trying to stock up on supplies for their classroom, parents who want to get school supply shopping out of the way, professionals looking to brighten up their tech accessories, and anyone else who loves a good deal.
To give you an idea of the discounts, notebooks are 75 cents, binders are $1, pencil pouches are $2, and backpacks, totes, and laptop sleeves are $10. Most samples are under $20.
Here’s a look at the product you can get your hands on for 75-85% off retail

A few notes to sample sale success

- Bring friends. Sample sales are fun, so bring someone you’ll enjoy the shopping high with.
- Think about the holidays. These will make such great gifts for your children’s teachers, friends, and family. Go with a list in mind.
- Remember, it’s just shopping. Although we all want that good deal, remember if someone grabs that last tote before you, it’s okay. Go find something better and secretly enjoy that victory.
