161: A closer read of the private sale situation

Sophie Bille Brahe under $400, $47 Tekla towels, and 70% off babouche boots.

As promised!!! An obsessive dissection of the cutthroat private sales taking place ahead of Black Friday that are wont to end at any moment without notice.

There’s a lot of critical sale content to parse through, so I’m cutting straight to the gooey center with this edit. That includes copy-pasting this birds’ eye view from Tuesday’s send, since it’ll be as helpful a reference here:

The facts are as stands: There are 808 pages of Private Sale deals on SSENSE between Womenswear, Menswear, and Everything Else, and discounts reach up to 50% off across categories. On Net-A-Porter, there are 15,494 products in the hidden Rewards Private Sale page, all 30% off when added to cart. Nordstrom’s Private Designer Sale includes 1,569 products and is advertised as “up to 40% off,” but actually goes up to 85%. At Saks, 4,313 products are up to 40% off with SAKSSALE through this link only. And at Farfetch, there are 1,380 pages of the Exclusive Members’ Edit for 25% off. Just be sure that you’re signed in with your primary shopping email on each site to access the discounts.

New to the scope of private sale coverage this week are MyTheresa, END. (use EARLY for 20% off), the amazing Milwaukee-based Bona Drag (25% off with NOVEMBER25), and LN-CC.
