As prior season sale merchandise fizzles to discounters, we are excited to turn our attention to newly-arrived fashion. Once upon a time, it would be months of watching and shopping before you could expect any savings. Today, if you know where to shop, you can save big even at the start of the season.

Coltorti is a multi-brand store with several boutiques along the Eastern coast of Italy. They have an amazing selection of designer brands ranging from Saint Laurent to Bottega Veneta. To kick off the season with a bang, they are offering 25% off regular priced items with the code DEALMOON25.

There are designer exclusions like Fendi, Moncler, and Golden Goose*. Even with the exclusions, you’ll find that prices are a lot more attractive than they are in the US. For instance, a Bottega Veneta pouch is $1900 from $2700 US retail. Even the newly issued shoulder pouch is $2000 from a US retail of $2800. A Fendi Kan U bag is $1800 from US retail of $2600.

Even better savings are available on items included in the 25% off promotion.  A Balmain blazer in classic black comes to $1219 from US Retail of $2300. A Dolce & Gabbana track jacket is $473 from  US retail of $975. Paris Texas slingbacks are $210 from $445 here in the US.

The site also has a lot of options for men. Some Off-White options are nearly half the price before the discount. Thom Brown retails for about the same as here but a 25% discount can be a big money saver.

Those who are still willing to scroll through sale merchandise can get lucky too. It’s just hard not to be jaded as we’ve experienced final markdowns. Take note, the most reduced items are several years old. For the price differential, the new season savings seems like a much better value.

*Code brand exclusions: Fendi, McQueen, YSL, Stone Island, Bottega Veneta, Moncler, Max Mara, Golden Goose, and Chloe.

MyTheresa is always a little slower on markdowns than many other luxury retailers but its sale is about to get interesting. Starting Friday, MyTheresa will begin offering an extra 20% off a selection of sale items but we were given the thumbs up to share the link with MadSpy readers for early access now.

You can click here to access the sale selection now and use the code EXTRA20 at checkout to engage the additional savings.

MyTheresa is a popular European online luxury store based in Munich, Germany. The site was acquired by Neiman Marcus in 2014.  Most recently, Neiman Marcus was accused by its creditors of attempting to secretly transfer the lucrative MyTheresa asset into the hands of its private equity group. The transfer to new ownership would effectively block creditors from making claims on the asset in the event of a bankruptcy.

But enough about retailer gossip, back to our private promo link!

Some of the better finds include a large variety of Valentino bags that come out to about 50% off. This beach bag is available in every combination but my favorite is the canvas and leather that comes to $780 from $1400. This Shift Balenciaga bag comes to $667 from about $1400. A drawstring bag from TheRow is $480 from $1200 and the satin Ascot bag is $400 from $990.

Going for shoes, you’ll find Paris Texas high boots for $500 from $1040, Nicholas Kirkwood Beya loafers come to $260 from $540 and Givenchy slides are $385 from $690. The best part is many shoe styles are still available in a full assortment of sizes.

Over among the clothing, you’ll find this Balmain blazer that’s about $1000 from $2300 US retail and a tank with buttons along the shoulders is $140 from $395 US retail. A Versace silk skirt comes to $400 from $1250 and those hugely popular Khaite jeans are $200 from $400.

After all the extreme markdowns we’ve seen, not all of the merchandise on MyTheresa might seem so inexpensive. Sometimes that’s the tradeoff you get for finding full-size ranges this late in the season. On the bright side, some items are priced lower than in the US. (Balmain is a clear example.) Also, there is no sales tax, duties or shipping charges. Maybe that’s why Neiman’s is trying to stash the site.
