If you rank some of life's most exciting experiences, what would you include? Maybe securing a reservation at the hottest restaurant or traveling to a buzzy destination. I won't deny both of those activities are life-altering, but admittedly, I find nothing more thrilling than finding discounted designer items. Maybe I'm delusional, but nothing is more exhilarating than securing the season's hottest handbag for a steal or finding a deal on a pair of designer sandals. Sure, shopping for affordable luxury items may not be as life-changing as other activities, but you can't deny that these items are something we can wear in our everyday lives, making them just as influential, if not more. There's no shame in finding a sliver of joy in sale shopping, especially when there are plenty currently happening.
We've officially reached the peak of sale season, and multiple luxury retailers are putting on summer sales, including Ssense, Net-a-Porter, Moda Operandi, Fwrd, Bergdorf Goodman, Saks, and Nordstrom. Basically, this time of year is the fashion person's equivalent of an adrenaline rush. In all of the excitement, it can be easy to buy things that you might later regret. Luckily, I've got you covered. Out of service and a bit of self-interest, I've spent hours scouring the sale sections of a few retailers in search of the best deals on luxury items. Ahead, you'll find a curation of the 42 best luxury designer sale finds of the summer. These discounted designer pieces may cause euphoria. Proceed cautiously.
