Is ASOS' sample sale website where £140 outfits cost £5 'too good to be true'? We found out

Yesterday ASOS sent fashion fans into a frenzy, as it launched a new 'Sample Sale' website where thousands of current-season items, some worth upwards of £140, were reduced to as little as £5. The ASOS sale website went viral, and fans of the brand rushed to get their hands on budget Summer dresses, jumpsuits, trousers, shorts, skirts and tops.

But many ASOS fans thought the website deal was 'too good to be true', and struggled to believe that it wasn't a ‘scam’. On the site thousands of ASOS-owned brands have been reduced by up to 90% off their original price.

And with deals as good as these, fans took to social media to question whether the site is real or fake, and sending the likes of Facebook, Instagram and TikTok into a total meltdown.
