Some might think it’s premature to post about a sale that won’t officially start for another week. We believe, you’re too late if you are shopping the public sale. The Saks Fifth Avenue friends and family sale officially starts October 21st and presale started today. That means astute shoppers have been calling dibs on their shopping list all week long.
The markdown is 20% on clothing, shoes and accessories and 10% off cosmetics. If you’re looking for eight floor shoes, most of the “pillars” are excluded. That means no Chanel, no Louboutin, no Prada, no Miu Miu. We are sure you get the idea. (We have the full exclusion list below.)
We’re not exactly sure what that leaves but we would suggest concentrating on clothing and lipsticks.
If you still aren’t sold on the virtues of presale, why not conduct your own little experiment. Shop Saks this week and then return once the official sale begins. We are positive you will be shocked by the amount of merchandise that is sold. It’s really remarkable. Online shoppers can presale now by speaking to a customer service representative.
