It’s the first official weekend of Summer and we are just beginning to understand where we left off last year. We are just starting to understand what we truly want versus what we actually need. Third markdowns are still another few weeks away. Now is the perfect time to buy what you need now.
Below are some items we are stalking. One must remember: Nobody can have everything! (Even if you try.)
Chanel’s first markdown becomes official on Thursday but lustful shoppers might be out of luck if they didn’t take advantage of presale. We are told that availability is already running low at many of our local stores.
Don’t worry, we contacted our informants and did some investigating. Over in this link, you can find lots of pictures of additional Chanel sale jewelry, shoes, scarves and even a bag. (There is a little inside secret about buying Chanel necklaces. If you’re looking for a great price opt for a belt, they are usually much less expensive and often look great as a when worn around the neck.)
From what we can tell, we would suggest contacting a salesperson at Bloomingdales if you are still on a shoe hunt. You can also contact various out-of-town department store Chanel sales associates. We included some of our contacts below the post. Click back to our previous Chanel presale post and a prior post about how Chanel will proceed with sales at their boutiques.

The Internet is full of discounters but very few sites offer the designer merchandise you really want at great prices. Amuze is a true exception. This online designer boutique just launched a sale of brand new Valentino bags that we’ve never seen on sale.
Over this way, you will find the newest VLTN collection and other rarely discounted Valentino bags reduced by 40%. Here is a VLTN studded black tote discounted to $1995 from nearly $2900. The same style bag comes in white and a black & white combination. The best part is that you can use the code Lila5 at checkout to save an additional 5% off your purchase, which will partly defray the expense of NYC sales tax.
Other bags that are in the sale include, a cross body studded camera bag that’s $950 from $1640 and a crossbody Rockstud hobo is $1595 from $2375. You can click over this way to see the entire selection of discounted Valentino bags.
While you’re shopping on Amuze, we suggest that you also check out the men’s Ferragamo sale. Classic crown bit loafers are discounted to $395 from $660, oxford lace-ups are $450 from $750 and this moccasin is $600 from $995.
Everything on the Amuze site is guaranteed authentic and can be shipped worldwide. The best merchandise, like those VLTN bags, tend to go very fast. We suggest you get clicking and don’t forget to use the code Lila5 to save an additional 5% off your total purchase.

Bloomingdales and Barneys are offering a discount of 40% and the markdown at Saks and Bergdorf Goodman is be 30%. Below is a selection of Chanel shoes that will be on sale at Saks, Barneys and Bergdorf Goodman. It’s safe to assume the sale selection will be about the same at every store.
The markdown, this season, only includes shoes, fashion jewelry, and scarves. For now, we only have information about what shoes will be included in the markdown.
The second price cut usually comes very quickly but it’s hard to anticipate exactly when it will occur because of all the changes this season. We will continue to update this post and add pictures as more information becomes available from Barneys and Bergdorf Goodman.

The weather is finally starting to sync with the calendar date. The forecast for this weekend is beach perfect, which means time is better spent outside than inside stores.
Barneys, Saks, and Bergdorf Goodman all took their second markdowns and are offering customers savings up to 60% off. Outside Manhattan, Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom are offering similar discounts.
Those shopping online will find much wider pricing disparities. For this reason, we put together a handy cheat sheet that includes Net-A-Porter, Moda Operandi, and MatchesFashion. Discounts span up to 70% off but you might notice that some of the most highly reduced items are over a year old. MyTheresa will take another big price cut on Monday– stay tuned.
For now, please feel free to reference our online discount guide and browse some the best sale items of the season. The discounts we quote below are where you will find the majority of the best sale merchandise, even if markdowns span higher.
It’s exactly a week later than last year, but the mystery is over. Net-A-Porter took its second markdown this morning. The sale includes further reductions with discounts up to 70% off.
Bags tend to go very quickly once the markdown tops 50%. This Off-White tote is reduced 60% off and comes to $510 from $1275. This peach Rocksanda tote is $720 from $1820 and this Valentino studded saddle bag reduced to $1187 from $2375. There are also a few Balenciaga styles available for 50% off.
The bulk of the shoe section is reduced to 60% off. We suggest you start browsing immediately. Sizes are disappearing as we scroll through the pages. Take note, that an item isn’t held in even if it’s placed in your cart.
We know it’s crazy but we are in love with these Vetements x Valentino pumps from this past winter. They are still a bit pricey but love knows no value. An interesting heel is the fashion statement of the Summer. You can go with this JW Anderson rolled heel or this Marco de Vincenzo sandal that’s reduced 60%. These Prada rubber slides are great for around the pool and come to just $262 from $655.
From the clothing, we spotted this lace top from SEA that’s reduced 70% and comes to $88 from nearly $300. This Dodo Bar Or dress is $196 from $490, a ruffled dress from SEA is $194 from almost $500 and a frayed mini-denim skirt from Alexander Wang is $177 from almost $300. We also really love this red mini denim skirt from Alexa Chung and it’s only $102 from $205.
We suspect that the discounts will get even better as the month progresses. Just try not to get too greedy. It’s not worth waiting save 10% and missing the opportunity to buy something you’ve wanted.
Since we’ve been trolling the same department stores over and over, we thought we would look outside our most frequent haunts. MatchesFashion has discounts up to 60% off and a selection of items that we haven’t seen everywhere (or anywhere) in Manhattan.
Some of the interesting items we found that are discounted 60% off are these Balenciaga ‘Hotel Slides’ that are reduced to $260 from $650. There are also Knife pumps discounted the same amount and still available in almost all sizes. This is the first time we noticed this clamp belt and it’s reduced $275 from $550. Check out these Chloe flatform sandals, which are reduced to $260 from $650.
The site has some Prada merchandise that’s also reduced by 60%. Over this way, are low-heel mules with an oversized buckle for $356 from nearly $900. Some of the other interesting items we found are this gingham sleeveless top with cherry embroidery from Bliss & Mischief for $134 from $335, an Off-White camo parka is $884 from over $2200, a shirtdress from Blouse is $194 from $485 and satin slides from The Row are $312 from $780.
Be careful when shopping Matches, many items are not reduced as low as they are at other retailers. On the flip side, that means that the stuff you want isn’t sold out. It’s always a worth stalking.
