MatchesFashion started its sale pretty close to what would be a normal schedule. For Memorial Day, discounts were up to 50% off but the selection was pretty dismal. We gave it only a C+ sale rating. Today the luxury online retailer announced discounts of 80% off and we are raising our guidance to a “shop-now”.
The site’s sale section has a lot of second markdowns and designer additions. A classic Balmain blazer is $1040 from $2600 and this draped dress is further reduced to 70% off. If you haven’t jumped on the Balmain blazer bandwagon (say that fast a few times), you should check out the options from Blizé Milano. They are more understated and very finely made. Here is one for $609 from $1524.
The shoe and handbag selection isn’t stellar. We spotted this pair of Christopher Kane shoes from $350 from $875 and Prada lightning-bolt shoes are $330 from $1100.
The best selection is among the beachwear with discounts hitting 70% off on some items. This oversized straw hat is $190 from $475 and this Love Binetti cotton mini-dress is $190 from $635.
We are still waiting for some of the bigger designers to hit the markdown section. It shouldn’t be much longer.
