What is the Barn Sale?

The FLAX Barn Sale is a highly anticipated annual event named after the dairy barn, affectionately known as 'The Barn', where FLAX was originally headquartered. This iconic building was converted into offices, warehouse space, and the hub of FLAX operations, and served as the heart of the company for many years. Today, FLAX is located in Wampsville, NY, but the FLAX Barn Sale continues to be a cherished tradition, offering customers a unique opportunity to purchase FLAX clothing at a discounted price.

FLAX is committed to maintaining the value of its brand and building strong relationships with its customers and boutique partners. The company prioritizes its relationship with smaller boutiques over large department stores or third-party retailers, and the FLAX Barn Sale is a testament to this commitment. At the event, customers can expect to find high-quality FLAX clothing made from sustainable and natural fibers, crafted with care and attention to detail.

Whether you are a longtime FLAX fan or discovering the brand for the first time, the FLAX Barn Sale is an opportunity to experience the best of FLAX clothing and culture. So don't miss the chance to join the FLAX community for a day filled with sustainable fashion, great deals, and memories that will last a lifetime.
