Luxury auction retailer Portero has created a new private sale site. Portero Private is currently in beta and is an invitation-only site similar to Ideeli or Gilt Groupe offering 24- to 72-hour sales with a limited inventory of luxury brands at special prices.

Like most of these private sale sites Portero Private is starting off small. a select group has already been invited and each member has three invitations. The first sale event,starts on Thursday and will sell Hermes scarves. The Examiner reports that future sales will include Temple St Clair, Montblanc, Chanel, Cartier and others.

I would not mind an invite at all! I am part of similar sites, but I am alway eager to participate in anything that has to do with luxury. cbarrionuevou at wanadoo.es. Thanks in advance!

I work at portero.com

Colin - We are working to clearify this issue, but the tab at the top that says "invitations" is where you go to send, and the left hand link in accounts that says "invitations" is to SEE who you invited and did they sign up. Simple navigation fix by changing the left nav to say "Sent invitations" or something like that... but that is why we are in beta...Thank you for posting.

If anyone is VERY serious about invites contact me at jkatt@portero.com and I will consider an invite. As an employee I am limited as well. These are exclusive events.
