I Only Shop Discounted Designer Pieces—My 3 Favourite Stores Are on Sale and This Is What I've Saved

The new season is upon us, bringing with it intermittent sunshine and of course, the summer sales. As we edge closer to summer holidays, weddings and al fresco dinners, we may find that there are gaps in our wardrobes where hard-working pieces should be. We’ve long shared our thoughts on the benefits of investing in more premium pieces, from the high-quality fabrication to the excellent design, but it is after all an investment. That’s why I always look for sales and discounted prices, from my beloved Fendi bag which has served my wardrobe for almost a decade, and was snapped up at £400 less that retail price, to the timeless Burberry trench coat that I call upon almost every season, there’s hero pieces to be found in the sales. And that’s exactly why I’m here. Right now, three of my favourite luxury retailers have launched their summer sales, and I have a feeling your summer wardrobes and forever capsules will thank me.

As a savvy shopper, I’m always looking for ways to make the most of any purchase, and a sale is always a good place to start. Naturally, it’s only worth the saving if the piece truly serves your wardrobe, and can remain a part of your outfit builds for years to come. That’s why I took it upon myself to not only save you money but also time in creating a concise edit of sleek, wear-forever pieces that are worth spending that little bit more on. There’s summer heroes like a seriously chic Saint Laurent basket bag that will accompany you on ever holiday from now on, to Matteau’s iconic warm-weather dresses. Finding The Row items on sale is a tough feat, but I’ve come across some iconic shoes destined to elevate all your outfits. There’s cult favourites like The Frankie’s Shop’s Bea trousers, alongside a selection of on-trend midi skirts, primed for the summer months and beyond. So, let’s get straight into it.
