199: The SSENSE sale ends at midnight
From $58 Birkenstocks to Bottega leather jeans for 58% off.
We’re in the throes of a NYFW content bloc right now, but it has become critical to pause and take stock of the fact that the SSENSE sale is ending tonight at 11:59pm ET.
On my latest comprehensive audit of the pages upon pages of deals that seem to extend past the vanishing point and into the horizon, I let some lingering ideas from the past week inspire me to open tabs. And while when the sale gates first opened, I might have been shopping to preemptively armor myself for winter, my mind is now on an incredulously imminent spring.
So far I’ve last-chance purchased a pair of Corali earrings that I’ve been flirting with for eons and, being of the philosophy that Issey is always a good idea, a Pleats Please long sleeve that I’m most interested in using as an accessory (tied around the neck, the waist, slung cross-body). I’m meditating on these Wales Bonner puka shell loafers whose last remaining pair are in my size, and if they’re still around by end of day, I’m pulling the trigger.
As for what else is on my wishlist, well, that’s everything below.
THE ROW Off-White Aspen Clutch, $1,617 $2,450 (this is no dainty clutch, FYI, this is UPS guy territory) / WALES BONNER Brown Leather Loafers, $430 $1,075 (only one size left—mine, and I’m trying to remind myself of the other eight pairs of loafers I already own…) / WOLFORD Black Fatal Maxi Dress, $82 $265 (kind of an SSENSE sale fixture at this point, but forever a good get) / TOTEME Gray Ribbed Polo, $384 $800 (a soft, thick wool-cashmere blend)/ THE ROW Red Falala Mini Dress, $158 $790 (not a typo)
SOPHIE BUHAI SSENSE Exclusive Silver & Blue Audrey Earrings, $353 $750 / MAISON MARGIELA Tan Tabi Boots, $843 $1,590 (probably the lowest I’ve seen these, including on resale) / MM6 MAISON MARGIELA Blue Crinkled Shirt, $245 $545 / SAKS POTTS Brown Maiken Leather Jacket, $935 $2,125 (it’s how many years since the Foxy coat and they’re still the best in the leather game? This Saks Potts jacket and glove duo is another great contender) / STUDIO NICHOLSON Black Obra Trousers, $117 $585 (couldn’t pick between these and these, so linking both) / LEMAIRE Black Crombie Coat, $601 $1,625
MARIA MCMANUS Black Collar Midi Dress, $170 $850 / ANNA OCTOBER Black Ariyah Bodysuit, $88 $440 / BURBERRY Black Ankle Strap Boots, $663 $1,950 (loves a foldover boot) / AURALEE White Crewneck Tank Top, $98 $200 (I live in mine, and the black is also on sale for even less) / BEAUFILLE Gray Twist Sweater, $239 $385 (have had my eye on this twisted knit for a while, but I’m re-piqued after seeing the safety-pin styling at Proenza c/o Camilla Nickerson) / MARYAM NASSIR ZADEH Navy Dance Lounge Pants, $202 $315
BIRROT Blue Cropped Cardigan, $131 $320 (so, I bought this during the last sale and didn’t reach for it much until recently, at which point I realized this little cardigan is a singular layering tool—the right length to flash a belt buckle, leave a peek-out of a crewneck tee, and never bunches or wrinkles under a coat…also on sale in off-white) / BOTTEGA VENETA Burgundy Intrecciatio Slippers, $1,050 $2,500 (if you saw me tweet that the pope should wear Bottega, this is what I mean) / SANDY LIANG SSENSE Exclusive Black Mary Jane Pointe Ballerina Flats, $358 $550 (also on sale in pink and Nappa black) / BIRKENSTOCK Black Milano Sandals, $58 $100 / BOTTEGA VENETA Blue Printed Leather Pants, $2,856 $6,800 (okay 58% off?) / BITE Black Edie Shirt, $141 $470 (a reliable dinner party-host shirt)
BY MALENE BIRGER Beige Trullem Coat, $637 $1,300 (for anyone who missed out on the Lauren Manoogian knit trench, this is what I’d buy to fill that hole) / BY MALENE BIRGER Black Winola Sweater, $83 $330 (one left in XL—I have it in a L and it’s onoly slightly oversized, for reference) / CO SSENSE Exclusive Beige Vest, $160 $800 (don’t forget the matching pants) / CORDERA Black Twisted Jeans, $174 $295 (one left of this OSFA style) / CORALI Silver Collage Earrings, $192 $640 (I finally made myself a Corali girl and bought these)
DRIES VAN NOTEN SSENSE Exclusive Blue Peyton Jeans, $149 $495 / KASSL EDITIONS Taupe Oversized Jacket, $194 $880 (what a fun cropped version of my rain trench for spring) / 16ARLINGTON White Peyta Midi Skirt, $191 $580 (I forever love a white skirt, but this is an especially great one…16Arlington knows how to serve a good ass) / DRIES VAN NOTEN Blue Ruffled Midi Dress, $252 $1,260 ($252! Paging all wedding guests because $252!!!) / Y'S Gray Work Beret, $55 $275 / DRIES VAN NOTEN Brown Self-Tie Leather Tank Top, $373 $1,035 (do I need it? No. But maybe?)

Did you end up trying the Studio Nicholson Obra pants? I’m still tormented by them. They’re not on as dramatic a sale now, but they’re also not final sale. Feel like they could work in summer?
The La Bouche Rouge lipsticks are another excellent buy in this sale. https://www.ssense.com/en-us/everything-else/designers/la-bouche-rouge
