Best Black Friday drops happen before Black Friday
incl. rare Leset sitewide sale, discount code for Current Body Led mask, The Row sale on NAP bits, Armani beauty, Savette seasonal sale and more
I was considering not to publish Black Friday post at all, because I like to think of myself as of not a regular Black Friday shopper. But then I do, I still shop during the weeks leading up to Black Friday, so I guess I’m in a way. And then I double check if anything from the wishlist is available for even better price on the official day, categorically avoiding random fomo purchases (they always end up costing more in a long run). However, when it comes to fashion apparel specifically, I learned the hard way, the best finds are only available before Black Friday, because they do sell out early, simple like that. Especially from the brands who don’t do sales very often.
So, I’ve sifted through the noise, skipped the chaos, and pulled together the brands actually worth your time (and money). The key to successful bargains is to stay practical, conscious and staying away from the impulse buys—I preach “If I wouldn’t buy it full price, I’m not buying it at all”. Let’s get into it, the curated (fairly short) list of all worthy.
30% off sitewide at Leset, discount applied at checkout; Don’t judge me, but I already acquired the following full price: The Margo in white, creme and black; Laura Tee (one size up); Boatneck Margo (one size up); Bracelet Top and Rio Pant. Took a leap on 30% off and ordered this dress I was eyeing for festive season.
Up to 30% off at Nour Hammour Private sale—need to sign up for access. I may have pulled a trigger on Althea; the winter shearlings are incredible though too, like Birthday, Evita and Joni.
30% off Savette seasonal sale—discount automatically applied. Found Shoulder Symmetry in Ecru on there; Florence 20 in rich Wine Chevre is ideal for any festive plans and thereafter.
25% off at Agmes—early access granted to subscribers, discount is applied at checkout. I tried pretty much every cuff of theirs during New York fashion week, they are perfect; to me, ridge cuff and small triple ridge hoops can complete any outfit for any occasion.
30% off at St. Agni edit—code TAKE30. The leather pencil skirt is a perfect basic; also taffeta cocoon dress is such a minimal statement dress for a festive season.
Upt o 70% off Net-a-Porter sale—discount automatically applied. I expect some extra discounts closer to the date, but so far found a lot of Khaite at 40% off in there and I’m not mad about it; few remaining pairs of Monroe calf hair loafers; one pair of Arizona black boots. The Row is also on there; Marcellita pants, one pair left at uk size 12; I would have picked up these calf hair flats if they had them in my size, so perfect for adding texture to minimal looks; Cedar poncho is 40% off now.
Up to 50% off at My Theresa—I expect better bargains on some of the brands soon. But for now, six months later and I’m still finding DMs asking me about this Jacquemus top look, they do it in white and black (take your regular size for more relaxed look; for a bit more fitted around waist—size down, I’m 8UK, wearing xs below), it is on sale now.
Up to 50% off Moda Operandi—discount applied automatically. It was very naive for me to expect Juju Vera earrings to magically appear on the promotion list, but I did find this Lemaire top.
25% off at Reformation, sitewide—they have these very Phoebe Philo coded pumps; 100% silk dress for £200 looks decent (in the sizing notes, it says designed for a slim fit, I would go one size up for more relaxed effect, but it’s because I’ve been trying to recreate Calvin Klein Runway look from the 90s).
Up to 60% at Joseph—discount automatically applied. If you’re looking for timeless quality classic, they are all here, like these Alexis wool trousers.
Up to 40% off on Madewell denim—code LETSGO. I’ve heard very very good things on this perfect vintage pair.
20% off sitewide at The White Company—code WHITE20. My favourite department of theirs—bedroom linens; I’m a bit late to this one, because Pimlico bed linens, I was keeping on my list seem to have sold out already, but I managed to secure few sets of Picot stitch napkins and tablecloth for my dining table aspirations.
20% off at CurrentBody—code VICTORIACBB sitewide (do not use bundle offer as it will apply 10% only). They are offering biggest discount of the year, normally it’s just 10%. I love my LED Red Light Therapy Face Mask, but also thinking of getting one for neck & decolte.
Up to 40% at Armani Beauty—code FRIDAY. They are giving us their infamous silk foundation (I use shade 4); silk concealer and hydrating primer all 30% off.
20% off at Sisley sitewide—my skin in late 30s loves this creme, I always stock up when they have discount days.
20% off everything at Merit, their only sale of the year—discount applied automatically. The Minimalist (in Linen shade) is always in my bag for touch ups, and I use Flush Balm on my lips more often than I do on my cheeks.
Up to 40% off at Massimo Dutti, pre-sale is open to subscribers.—discount applied automatically. They are doing so well lately, I could probably make a whole post just about them, but here are few this brown coat; classic black double-breasted 100% wool coat; classic cotton shirt; and this mid-length black relaxed coat,
I might update the list if I see something more that is worth your attention, but for now that’s it! Let me know in the comments below if you find something too, I want to know! Sharing is caring.
