I wait all year for the summer sale season, so now that we’ve reached the point in the season where retailers are slashing prices left and right, it’s my time to shine. I’ve been spending many hours of downtime focused on my favorite activity: sitting in the air conditioning while sifting through all the best luxury sales. Right now, I’ve been toggling between a dizzying number of browser tabs at Saks Fifth Avenue, Ssense, and Moda Operandi, whose sale sections I keep coming back to.
With designer finds this epic, my shopping cart is filled to the brim with Proenza Schouler runway looks, Jacquemus It bags, iconic Khaite belts, and so much more. Now, usually these sales lean heavily on summer stock, but I was pleased to find a significant number of fall-ready items, too, which only heightened my shopping fervor. Ahead, shop the best designer finds from the Saks Fifth Avenue, Ssense, and Moda Operandi sales that are even more epic than I expected them to be.
