This is just the start of the sale season. Size options are really slim among the shoes but it may be worth checking out if you sort by size. While the best designer pieces might not be heavily discounted just yet, there are plenty of stylish finds to carry you through the celebrations until the bigger deals roll in.

The Ssense sale is live, with discounts up to 50% off.  At first glance, the markdowns may not seem as exciting—many items start at just 10% to 20% off.

Apologies in advance—I’ve been battling the FWRD site for hours trying to access the private sale! You should be able to see the sale items once you log in using this link, but if it doesn’t work, bear with me. There’s a lot of Moncler, Miu Miu, and Bottega Veneta marked down by 20-50%, so it’s worth the effort.

I also spotted some YSL in the mix, though those pieces are still full price (for now). Below are some of the standout discounts I’ve found. Good luck, and I’ll do my best to adjust the link if needed, but I can’t promise it’ll work perfectly.
