At this point it’s probably no surprise that after many years the YSL sample sale is back in New York. But I couldn’t help but wonder why. Once you dig into the numbers, the timing becomes pretty clear. According to Kering’s annual reports, Saint Laurent scaled quickly in 2021, going from about €2.5B to €3.3B in 2022—that’s roughly a 30% jump. Then fashion shifted. Big logos started to feel a little tired, and sales pulled back about 9% in 2024 to around €2.9B, followed by another ~8% drop in 2025 to €2.6B. After years of that kind of growth, you can’t really call it a collapse, but you can see the reset. The brand is recalibrating to live in a luxury environment that feels less loud and more grounded in house tropes than logos.
A sample sale fits neatly into that moment as a way to shift from Kate bags and Lou Lous to sleek elongated clutches and sharper, more directional pieces that rely on shape and attitude rather than logos. You can bet this one is going to be intense—the line sitters are already booked out. If you’re not planning to deal with that level of chaos, there are still a few places I rely on for consistent YSL savings.
I’ve had great luck at Saint Laurent outlets. I usually focus on ready-to-wear and have snagged coats and blazers for under $800 that routinely retail for over $3,500. Pants and blouses are often in the $300 range, and on my last trip I spotted a leather jacket for about $1,500.
If you're looking for the best savings on current-season merchandise, head to Spinnaker. To see the sale prices, you need to register and log in. Most Spring 2026 merchandise is about 40% off US retail. There’s even the Mombasa reissue in the mix. The Webster started a huge clearance on its site and there are many Saint Laurent pieces reduced up to 90% off. Merchandise is going fast and dies are limited. I would't stall on this one. And then there is Cettire, always worth stalking.You never know when you’ll scroll past a key item on a meaningful markdown.

Friends & Family sales are happening across Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, and Bergdorf Goodman right now, all offering 25% off. The selection is fairly similar across all three, but each is worth browsing. Saks, in particular, feels like a bit of a treasure hunt right now, with some sale pieces quietly marked down over 75% off if you’re willing to dig. Givenchy, Balmain and Oscar are the highlights from these sales. I pulled a few standout finds below, but keep checking back as I’ll be updating the fashion feed with more as they surface.

TheOutnet just added a fresh wave of designers, including Thom Browne, Zimmermann, Missoni, Magda Butrym, Toteme and more. Thom Browne is the standout, with pieces marked down up to 60% off, making it a rare chance to shop his signature shrunken blazers, pleated skirts and tricolor-trimmed knits at a deep discount. There is also a great selection for men too. Alongside Browne, there’s a strong mix of other labels now showing up on the site, like Zimmermann, Missoni, Toteme and Magda Butrym. Many of these additions tend to move quickly once they appear, so it’s worth taking a look while the selection is still full. You can also use the one-time code HITHERE for extra savings on some items (Just-in items are excluded). Some of my favorite finds are below.
