    Ssense New Public Sale Markdowns

    The Ssense sale has been very peculiar this season. The site started a system that only allows prior customers to shop from the best selection of sale merchandise, in its private sale edit. Those who haven't purchased from Ssense cannot even see the markdown prices.



     

    Slowly  Ssense started migrating private sale merchandise into its universal sale category. There are a few great Fendi sale items that just become public. This Large Kan U bag is $1712 from $2600, a small Kan U is $1224 from $1900, and this pencil skirt is $476 from $850. There are also some available Saint Laurent items like this Saint Laurent So Kate is $1833 from $2350 and Opyum heels are $790 from $1000.  There are also lots of Alexander McQueen sneakers that are discounted up to 40% off. 

    If you still need a winter jacket but don't want to cough up the big bucks Duvetica is a great Moncler alternative. The jackets are the same fabrication as Moncler but much less expensive. This silver puffer is $462 from $1050 and this longer style is $431 from $990. 

    We also suggest you check out the men's sale, which contains a lot of unisex items. This Versace tee is $155 from $245 and this Off-White tee is $214 from $350. 

    We will continue to update this post as more items become available. Keep your eyes peeled.

     New year. New discounts. Today, MatchesFashion took another round of price cuts. The new markdowns bring the most extreme savings to 70% off.

    Holiday Edition: Obsessions & Impulses

    Looking back on 2020, it's hard to believe where we started compared to where we stand today. We've certainly had our ups and downs, ins and outs, and most everything in between. The beginning of the New Year is always a poignant time to look back on your accomplishments.




    When it comes to MadSpy, that will always translate to shopping. It would be embarrassing to admit how much I've purchased and haven't even had the opportunity to wear. At one point, I had a pile of shoe boxes that resembled the Leaning Tower of Pisa. (I guess when you can't travel you create your own sightseeing landmarks.)

    The retail acquisition that most resonates is a plaid pair of Manolo Blahnik Hangisi shoes that caught my eye as part of early spring arrivals. (That's pre-pandemic.) They hit the deep markdown in May at 60% off or $426 from $990. I cashed in all my Nordstrom points, which brought the total price to $27. I refuse to calculate how much money was spent to accumulate all those points but I'll still consider it a big win. What was your most memorable purchase of the year?

    Speaking of good purchases, the last week of the year doesn't usually provide the most exciting shopping opportunities as retailers know that most people are otherwise distracted or panic buying with their returns. This week, however, supplied a few notable discount opportunities.

    Givenchy and Fendi are the most recent brands to hit the sale racks. The best selection can currently be found on Net-A-Porter.  Some of the highlights include this Givenchy Eden bag for $810 from $1350. Fendi slides are $450 from $750 and a Fendi logo hoodie is $700 from $990. At FWRD by Elyse Walker, I found this Givenchy velvet Nano Eden bag for $833 from $2450 and there's this Givenchy cardigan for $815 from $1630. 

    Earlier this week, we snagged the private 50% off sale link to Prada and Miu Miu at Bergdorf Goodman. This bowling bag still remains at $1050 from $1750 and espadrilles are $295 from nearly $600. 

    Speaking of great finds, we struck gold with access when TheOutnet shared a private clearance sale link that can be found here. The deal even gets sweeter when combined with the code SURPRISE, which will save you an additional 40% off. This Bindi bag from The Row comes to $774 from $2150 and this Miu Miu skirt is $351 from $975. Lots more details and great finds can be found here. 

    Both men and women should head to Mr. Porter for discounts at up to 50% off.  A Givenchy sweater is $540 from $900, a sweater from Stone Island is $234 from $335, and a cashmere sweater from The Row is $766 from $1100. Click here to read see more of our great finds. 

     Saks Fifth Avenue added several premium brands to its markdown list. This Loewe saddlebag is one of our favorite designs of the season and is now $1225 from $1750 and a mini Gate belt bag is $1085 from $1550.

    I can't wait for you to share your favorite finds of the year with everyone over on Instagram. 

    Until next week.. same time same place?

    The Outnet Private Clearance Sale 80% Off

    We thought the year was going to out with a fizzle but we just got word of a deal that brings great bang for the buck. TheOutnet shared a private clearance sale link that can be found here. 




    These Valentino heels come to just $298 from nearly $1000, this Mary Katrantzou colorful pleated skirt is $180 from $1335, a Valentino bag is $575 from $1745, and a Marni coat is $500 from $2370. Don't miss this Marni bag that's $240 from $990 or this Dolce & Gabbana floral print dress for $842 from $3140.

    The sale will run through January 6th but we suggest you hop to it before the cover of privacy is lifted. Sizes are limited for each style and we can't see what's left lasting very long.

    Mr. Porter Markdowns Get Good

    Discounts on men's merchandise usually happen a little bit later than women's designer markdowns. So be the day has come for Mr. Porter to give men the discounts they desire. The savings are up to 50% off and the best part is many items easily translate flawlessly into a women's closet. 






    Over this way, we spotted Common Projects sneakers that start at a size 39 for $255 from $425, this Givenchy sweater is $540 from $900, a sweater from Stone Island is $234 from $335, and a cashmere sweater from The Row is $766 from $1100. This Loewe messenger bag is a showstopper for anyone at $930 from $1550, John Lobb shoes are $553 from $790 and this Thom Brown velvet blazer is $1074 from $1800. 

    In a society where women fight for equality, it's nice to know we can double our fashion options just by searching through the men's department. It might even make you more fashionable.

    Bergdorf Goodman: Extra 20% Off Sale

    We thought it would be a quiet week but boy are we wrong. We just got word that Bergdorf Goodman added a promotion where many sale items are an additional 20% off. 




    The most recent markdowns aren't included in the extra discount promotion but there are some good finds. We spotted these Gianvitto Rossi slingbacks that come to $277 from $700, this long coat from CO is $717 from $1500 and a Burberry shearling jacket is $1786 from $3800.

    There is a very large amount of Brunello Cucinelli sale items but even at a discount, the prices are so high that's embarrassing to endorse. This cotton hoodie is $454 from $875 and is one of the more tame items. You're probably better off shopping through the Balenciaga selection. This logo all-over men's shirt can easily be worn unisex and is just $245 from $650 and this cashmere peacoat is $1435 from $3000. Don't miss the Manolo selection although the sizing is very spotty.

    The sale will run through the end of 2020 but remember that's just a few days. We don't know if more merchandise will be added but you can be sure we'll be on the lookout.

    Saks Fifth Avenue: Fendi, Loewe and Valentino Markdowns

    What an eventful markdown season it's been. It's crazy to think that we area beyond Christmas and some items are only just coming up for their first price cut. Saks Fifth Avenue is the latest store to add several premium brands to its markdown list.



     

    To start, there are some really great Loewe bags that just went on sale. This Loewe saddlebag is one of our favorite designs of the season and is now $1225 from $1750 and a mini Gate belt bag is $1085 from $1550. Next, check out the sale selection from Fendi. These sock sneakers are $382 from $850 and this Kan U is $1855 from $2650. 

    Lots of Valentino items got a second markdown. Here are Rockstud jelly sandals for $222 from $700 and Rockstud sandals are $312 from $700. There is also a lot of great Balenciaga deals. This puffer is $1116 from $2800 and these mules are $267 from $600. 

    These aren't all hard markdowns and some of the prices are a result of weekend flash sales. We would suggest pouncing on any fashion that's reduced by 60% or more.

    The Best Places to Shop After Christmas

    Black Friday is for the amateurs. Real shoppers sharpen elbows for the day after Christmas. It's usually the time of year where you can find a rather good selection of merchandise that's highly discounted.

    Many retailers started their markdowns late, which means post-Christmas shopping will be better than usual. Over the course of the week, you'll be able to find great opportunities to pounce. Below are some of our favorite post-Christmas shopping destinations. Share your favorites in the comment section below:

    Starting from, um, now, you can save an extra 30% off sale items. Use the code BYE2020 to engage the extra savings. This Off-White Jitney bag is $525 from $1130, this is a great houndstooth Teddy-style  coat for $476 from $860, and these Alexandre Birman shoes are great for kicking up your heels for New Years (in your living room) at $390 from $800. The extra discount code expires on Sunday. 

    Christmas Day means Christmas gifts and MadSpy friends can save an additional 10% off Nugnes1920 with the code MADISONX10. These "Fake" Gucci sneakers come to $450 from $680 US, a Prada crossbody bag is $1274 from over $2000 and a Moncler jacket is about $900 from $2000 US. The code is valid through the remainder of 2020. 

    DSW 
    Gucci shoes fans should be stalking DSW.  The site just added a ton of new styles to the discount assortment.  Prices run 30% to 50% off retail. Here Jordaan loafers for $480 from $790, the Sylvie loafer is $550 from $790, and Ace sneakers are $500 from $790. There are also some kid's Gucci shoes too. 
     
    Lots of designer merchandise was just added to the NAP sale section. These items won't see another markdown after the holiday but previously reduced items will get another cut. Some great new deals include these Chloe slides that are $207 from $415 and a Rossie Assoulin watercolor skirt is $450 from $900. 

    Keep your credit card handy because Saks is taking another round of markdowns after Christmas. The discounts will span to 70% off. Additional brands like Chloe, Loewe, and Celine will be added to the markdown. The site will also host a series of flash sales. Stay on your toes and make sure you keep refreshing. Right now, this Balenciaga tote is $833 from $1200 and these Bottega Lido flats are $732 from $1220. 

    It's almost the New Year, which makes it the perfect timing for the Nordstrom Half-Yearly sale. Discounts will be up to 40% off and include nearly everything from the winter collections. The sale will officially begin on Christmas Eve. Currently, this Perrin crossbody bag is $600 from $1000 and a Balmain knit jacket is $980 from $2450.

    Neiman Marcus 
    Fragrance and beauty fanatics will wake up to a Christmas day treat with 10% off. After the eggnog hangover wears off, some brands will be discounted an extra 50% off the sale price. Designer items will be an extra 25% off sale prices. Be on the lookout for Fendi markdowns.  Right now, a Balenciaga all-over sweater is $318 from $850 and these Valentino sandals are $560 from $900.

    Right now, the discounts at Bergdrofs are up to 70% off including the additional 30% off sale items. Immediately following Christmas, there will be another markdown and promotion that's an extra 15% off sale. That will make the discounts marginally better at up to 75% off retail. We suggest you don't wait to save a bit and buy what you like now. Right now, this Bottega bag is $1575 from $2250 and Manolo animal print shoes are $290 from $700.
