It’s hard to remember the frenzy of sample sale season but this week is the best indication that sample sales are back. I never thought I would be so happy to start sample sale posts again.

The week, started off with the infamous invitation-only Christian Louboutin sale, which provided savings of about 60% off, which is about what you would save at a good department store markdown. We also have confirmation that the Hermes sample sale is coming back later this month along with Jimmy Choo. All the sample sale details can be found below.

If you’re looking for some current season discounts the best savings are overseas. You can save 20% off at SuiteNegozi on any item in this edit when combined with the code MADISON20. Men can shop from this link. Be on the lookout for substantial savings from Prada, Burberry, and Balenciaga. Duties are included in the sale price.

G&B Negozio, which has seven boutiques in Northern Italy, started offering up various promotions. You can save 25% off any item within this link when combined with the code MADISON25. The men’s 25% off sale edit is this link. All duties are included and shipping is free for purchases over $300.

New-season fashion is fully stocked and the holidays are right around the corner. While sale season hasn’t officially started that doesn’t mean there aren’t great deals to be found. Finding them, on the other hand, takes time.

The extension can also be used on desktops with Safari, Chrome, or Firefox.

Instagram went down for six hours and when the social media site came back up the floodgates opened. A tipster recently shared that the next Hermes Sample sale will take place from October 21 to October 23 at Soiffer Haskin,

Although this is an official Hermes sample they are still sometimes chaotic and wait times can be overwhelming. Jewelry, shoes, scarves, and accessories are usually 50% off. Clothing can range from 60% to 80% off depending on the year.

We will keep this post updated as details become available. In the meantime, click here to read more from the last Hermes sale at Soiffer Haskin.

Loafers are a classic fall staple but this season’s chunked-out version has become a style must-have.  Even the most popular holdover styles from last season, are hugely popular. Right now, the discounts aren’t great but there are some savings on certain styles. Remember, loafer season quickly transitions to boot season and you might not want to wait on some of these hottest versions. Below is an assortment of some of our favorite styles with a few more affordable options that are great too.

Update: INTERMIX just did a big round of markdowns. Most of the merchandise is from the Summer but there are also some great sweaters and jeans. See below to view our top picks.

It’s still relatively warm outside but there is a slight chill in the air. We know that Fall is coming and before long it will be coat season. Traditionally, we would wait until markdown season to buy a new coat. Times have changed and we’ve learned that it’s best to buy the coat you want for a “European Discount” rather than wait until the holiday sale season.  Below are some really great deals. We will keep this post updated as more great finds become available.

Update: Ssense has lots of Moncler coats and jackets reduced about 20% off US retail. Some of the top picks are below.
