Chanel is one of the hardest brands to track during the markdown season. The company is secretive and riddled with rules that are always changing. We have come to learn that this season, Chanel’s bi-annual sale will open to the public on December 2.

The Chanel sale is be comprised of past-season merchandise with a discount of 40% off. This season, the sale selection will consist of 20A and 20B collections. The sale doesn’t include any bags or leather goods. Shoppers can expect to find discounts on shoes, jewelry, scarves, and various small accessories.

Unfortunately, I cannot share the contact information of salespeople at various stores. Any time I do, their jobs are threatened. Feel free to search the blog for contacts I’ve used in prior “Chanel Private Sale” posts.

Below are examples of some of the items included in this season’s markdown. We will continue to add more photos as they become available. Sale pictures can be anonymously sent to lila@madisonavespy.wpengine.com.

The Ssense sale is now open to the public– kind of. The current situation is that there is a public sale section but some merchandise is still being held back to private sale customers. It seems as if those who have shopped with Ssense in the past year have access to the full sale assortment. All these private sales are making it very tempting to shop for future access. Let’s not try to fall for that.  Below are some of the best sale items. Keep your eyes out for updates.
