Spring and summer is by far my favorite time of year; but not for the reasons you may think. This edition of the weekly scoop is honor what I think of as The Shoppers Christmas. Why you ask? Well, Spring and Summer brings about the best sales of the year at all my favorite high end retailers and brands. I would not kid around about such a topic. Brands like Chanel, Saint Laurent, Dior, Miu Miu, Prada, Gucci, Dolce and Gabanna, Barney’s, Saks, the list literally goes on and on, but they all have major sales to get rid of their old product to begin to make room for the Winter collections that they will begin receiving.
The discounts start low and end high. So at the beginning of the sales, they’re usually 30% off, the last few weeks of the sale they could go as high as 50% off, but less product is available to choose from at the end of the sale. I seriously have a Phd in sale shopping and there is definitely an art to navigating them properly. In the interest of time, I’ll tell you the basics.
Most department stores carry the same product, so if what you want sold out at one, just look at another retailer.
Sales also include on line for the department stores. For the direct brands like Prada for example, the sales are only in store.
I use the sales opportunity to buy shoes and handbags. Clothes are always on sale throughout the year.
They typically start around June.
Saks is currently offering 40% off. Start shopping! Sale – We’ve Taken Up to 40% OFF Designer Selections.
