After the fireworks die down we excitedly await for Net-a-Porter’s explosive final markdown. This end-of-season event usually only lasts a few weeks and is delivered with lots of extra discounts.

This season’s big event started today. The extra discount is an extra 20% off but doesn’t apply to all items. When this sale strikes, merchandise tends to go very quickly. The shoes and bags are always the first to fly off the site.

We have our eye on this Off-White tote that’s comes to just $400 from over $1200. This Alexander McQueen bag is about the same price and deeply discount Alaia is never a bad idea. During the Summer, we are all about cheap thrills and this straw garden bag from Eugenia Kim is only $230.

In the shoe department, there are lots of Gianvitto Rossi shoes discounted 50% and there’s another 20% on top. These mules are $280 from nearly $700. These Vetements Manolos are 80% and even justafiable at $345.

Everything gets a little more interesting when you start shopping for clothing. There is still a large assortment of clothing and the variety is quite large. Here is a white poplin dress that’s reduced to $300 from $1500. It’s universally understood that the dress was way overpriced to begin. This Prada dress falls in the same category of overpricing but could be justifiable with these new discounts.

The NAP final sale usually lasts just a couple of weeks. Then the section completely disappears. TheOut is the next stop– as it becomes past season fashion.

July 4th is famous for explosive sales. Some even go as far as calling it ‘Christmas in July.’ Considering the recent third markdowns at department stores– like Barneys, Bergdofs, and Saks— it’s more like New Year’s in July.

Just remember, the holiday promotions don’t end with the fireworks. Extended sales have become as much of a tradition as the underlying sale. The bonus day, final hours and last chances are as commonplace as an afterparty.

That the mid-town warehouse sale, featuring La Perla was very, very good but it’s about to get extreme.  Like all great affairs, this one must come to an end but not without a grand gesture. Starting Friday morning, all merchandise will be reduced to $40 and under!

Earlier this week, we went to check out the La Perla merchandise ourselves and cannot emphasize enough what a good sale this is. We spotted gorgeous silk patterned sarongs that are now going to be $20, there are caftans marked $200 that are just $30, there are $20 bikinis (top and bottom), sequined or mesh coverups are $30 (the retail prices are several hundred dollars), pajama sets and, of course, bras are $30 each or four for $100. Panties that were marked as high as $220 at retail area all just $18 a pair. There is also a super assortment of La Perla Studio merchandise that’s reduced to 10 pairs for just $100 or $12 each.

You can see pictures of all the La Perla items we loved from the sale. Take note, this is a grab and go blowout sale. The fitting rooms will not be available and all sales are final. On the bright side, the sales help are super nice and helpful. The sale is also very well organized and orderly, which can be difficult with underpinnings.
