    Net-a-Porter Sale Begins Up to 50% Off

    Net-a-Porter just set live their first holiday season promotion. Even though this isn’t the ‘real’ markdown there are some really interesting finds.

    Head this way to see the bags on sale. This Tony the Tiger Anya Hindmarch is half-off and comes to just $600, an uncharacteristically classic Charlotte Olympia leather tote is $1800 from almost $3000, a Chloe Faye in python for $2660 and a Nancy Gonzalez red croc tote is $1895.

    Among the clothing is a large assortment discounted 50%. Here’s a Tod’s black-and-white sweater for $650, a Marcus Lupfer sweater is $205 and a Peter Pilot coat for $300. This Simone Rocha embroidered dress is really quite striking.

    Head this way for your Aquazzara lace-ups for 50% off or Gianvito Rossi shoes shoes in a similar style. Nude Lanvin wedges are over here for $345.

    Last season, the real sale went live December 1. We would suggest snatching up anything you see now that’s 50% off and then continuing to stalk the items you covet from this season.

    Barneys Pre-sale Begins

    Barneys shoppers can begin to pre-sale for the first markdown starting Monday. The discount is 40% across the board– clothing, shoes and bags for men, women and children. Besides the outstanding selection, 40% discounts make Barneys the best department store to shop for holiday deals.

    Among the reduced items are Saint Laurent Sac du Jours in several shades, like red, purple and embossed croc black. Among the Fendi sale bags is the 2Jours in wine. There is also a large assortment of Givenchy bags included in the markdown like the Antigona, the Pandora and a variety of shoppers. In the shoe department, you can count on lots of Manolo Blahnik and Valentino, Gianvito Rossi, Aquazzara and yes, select styles of Christian Louboutin.

    The sale goes public on December 1. Barneys’ sales associates aren’t always forthcoming with pre-sales. If there is an item you want to secure, we suggest that you give your name and number to the respective brand associate and have them call you when the discount becomes available. You can usually expect a call within hours of leaving the store.

    Gift Alert: Mansur Gavriel Available Now

    In a sea of bags priced over $2,000, Mansur Gavriel has become one of the most talked about brands in fashion. The Italian-crafted minimalistic bags have dominated the market partly because of their moderate prices, which range from about $500 to $700.

    Like good wine or great coffee, the bags are produced in small batches. That means that there is always more demand than supply. We wouldn’t categorize the MG shopping experience as difficult but we loath the waitlist experience. What’s why we are giving you a heads up that Net-A-Porter has a selection of MG bags available now.

    The inventory includes an assortment of styles including the popular tote and bucket bag in a variety of colors. Head this way to snag the popular black tote with the red interior ($585). Here’s a bucket bag style in Black/Ballerina inside combo ($595) or a Camel/ Rose combination. Other available colors include Sand and Emerald.

    If you’re in the market, we suggest you snag one of these styles now. It will become increasingly more difficult to track down these MG bags as the holidays draw closer.

    Gucci Private Sale Live Online

    Gucci has stated their online fall/winter presale, or private sale–as they like to say. The markdown is about 50% on clothing and shoes. Bags are reduced about 30%. You can use this link to access the sale merchandise.

    The bucket bag with a bamboo handle is now $1500 from $2500 and the larger interlocking Gs pocketbook is $1260 from $2100. (We happen to really like this style.) The sale selection of clothing isn’t stelar but this wool a-line is $2000 from $4000 and some strange style of loafer is $290 from $675.

    It seems as if Alessandro Michele has been able to kick it up a notch but we don’t see people welcoming Gucci back into their homes. What do you think?

    Adam Lippes x Target 80% Off

    Target chose Adam Lippes to follow up the blockbuster Lilly Pulitzer collaboration. We were very dubious about how the New York-based designer would be received nationwide. To find the answer one only need to check the Target website. Right now, a large assortment of the collaboration merchandise is discounted 80% off.

    The collection launched on September 28 and the most talked about items included the plaid bucket bag, which is now reduced 30% to $28. If you’re looking for better deals direct your attention towards this throw blanket that’s $9 from $29, a shearing backpack thats $20 from $40 and appetizer plates that are $7 from $30.

    There is a great deal of Lippes merchandise still in stores. We usually find the prices on clothing and accessories  are less expensive on the sales racks than on the website.
