Spring sales and early markdowns are beginning. The LVMH-owned site, 24S started a private sale where you can save up to 40% off Spring merchandise. To access the sale you will need to create an account or sign in to your existing account. Be on the lookout for the great assortment of Casablanca, which is sure to be one of the season’s hottest brands. Other good finds are below.
It’s increasingly hard to put a value on any item of fashion as prices seem to fluctuate as much as Spring temperatures. Ahead of the upcoming markdown season, we set our sites on finding discounts before prices are adjusted for the most recent round of increases. Right now, you can save 15% off at FWRD with the code SISTERSISTER15. The selection is excellent and the savings might even exceed the first markdown when the increases are accounted for. Be on the lookout for iconic Bottega, Manolo, YSL, and Prada. Some of our favorite brand icons are below.
LN-CC, which is based in London, has started a promotion that provides the perfect opportunity to score a new season item for a nice discount. You can use this link to save money on a great variety of designer merchandise. The discounts range from 30% to 50% off. There is no code, but you will have to click this VIP link to see the discounts. The site doesn’t charge taxes or duties, which adds a lot to the savings in most cases. Check out our favorite items below.
These price increase posts are starting to feel like a joke. Too bad, nobody’s wallets are laughing. Ahead of Mother’s Day, lots of brands are adjusting prices higher and YSL and Cartier are both designers you should be watching this weekend if you have an imminent purchase need. Van Cleef & Arpel’s prices will be about 8-10% higher across the board but Cartier’s, the price increase is much more tolerable at 3% to 5%. The Saint Laurent increase ranges from 8% to 20% on many popular items. Many retailers have already made the changes but below are some places you can snag bags for legacy prices.
Harvey Nichols: The British department store prices bags a little under US retail. You will pay sales tax but no extra duties.
Loulou Toy final price (denim): $1252 from $1550
G&B Negozi: A popular chain of boutique stores in Italy. Prices are a little less than the old US retail prices and you also won’t pay duties or taxes.
Loulou final price: $1425 from $1590
TheDoubleF: A smaller, and lesser-known, English store that offers great prices. Taxes and duties are included.
Toy Loulou final price: $1355 from $1590
Selfridges: The London-based department store does charge import fees and taxes but the total price is shared at checkout. You’ll see that in many cases, the savings from, even current, US prices are considerable.
Loulou Toy final price: $1327 from $1590

Flowers and chocolates are the most classic way to celebrate Mother’s Day. This year, the mommy celebrations will take place on Sunday, May 8 and we couldn’t be more excited to be the beneficiary of pampering and praise. The first thing you have to know about Mother’s Day is that moms don’t want you breaking the bank to say, “I love you.” They also don’t want a thoughtless card with a scribbled signature. Finding the perfect gift can take a bit of determination and thoughtfulness. In order to get a jump start on the task (and give hints to loved ones), we partnered with Net-A-Porter to create the ultimate Mother’s Day gift guide, which is sure to inspire even the most gift impaired.

Price hikes are a quite frequent occurrence in fashion these days but Manolo Blahnik is one brand that reliably held costs steady. That is, until now. We’ve been told that the famed shoe brand will increase the price of their famous Hangisi shoes on May 1. Speculation is that the increase will run between 8% and 12%.
If you’re looking to spring for a pair of sparkly beauties, we suggest you snag a pair now. Below is a list of retailers that often have promotions or slight discounts.
Savannah’s (No Tax)
10% off code: SPRING10
There are lots of sale Manolo styles too but sizes are spotty.
Gilt
Discounts range from 10% to 40% off but sometimes even scale up to 60% off. Each style is priced differently, but it’s worth a scroll. These white lace Hangisi shoes are $699 from $1095.
Saks Fifth Avenue
Later this week, Saks is offering a money-off promotion and we are hoping Manolos are included. We suggest keeping an eye out and we will be sure to share too.
