To find the designer fashions you want without even changing out of your bathrobe, there are a few websites that are essential for you to know. Not only can you find that Dolce & Gabbana skirt or Fendi bag without depleting all the funds in your savings, but there’s no need to waste an entire day fighting with the crowds and fellow fashionistas.
Ideeli is an invitation-only site, which means anyone can join if invited by a member. Invites can also be found with a search of “Ideeli Invitation Code.” With Ideeli, members can save up to 80% with the daily rotating sales. But with a limited number of items, when everything for one event sells out your chance to buy ends.
Besides the sales, Ideeli also has occasional giveaways for events, getaways, and apparel. A recent giveaway involved a stay at W hotels, and two upcoming giveaways are for the annual New York Shop sale and a Miu Miu necklace.
Recent sales on Ideeli featured the designers Jennifer Alfano and Goldenbleu. Fancy a Jennifer Alfano purse? Instead of paying the $1,275 retail price, Ideeli had it for $372. A pair of Goldenbleu boots could be purchased for $225, marked down from $845.
Ideeli also offers “first-row” membership. For $83.88 a year, or $23.97 quarterly, members can gain access to events an hour before everyone else, as well as special “first-row only” sales.
Gilt Groupe is another invitation-only site, with several sales going on simultaneously. Gilt Groupe makes it easier to invite others by giving their members invitation links, so those wishing to join may go to http://www.gilt.com/invite/mashugaj.
At Gilt Groupe, sales for men’s, women’s, and children’s apparel are given equal time, and savings for all three are extraordinary. A Michael Kors men’s shirt that retails for $195 retail can be bought for $68. A pair of Hickey Freeman boy’s trousers can be purchased for $45, 1/3 off the price. If you’ve always desired your own Chloé dress, it can be yours for 1/4 the price everyone else has to pay for it.
Eluxury.com
The website eLuxury is more of a traditional clothing store. They sell the Dolce and Gabbana and Fendi you want, but without making you join or become a member. The deals are available for anyone who stumbles across the site, and this is definitely a site you want to stumble upon.
At eLuxury, clothing by Zac Posen, Narciso Rodriguez, Versace and many others are featured. While everything on the site isn’t marked down, eLuxury is always having a sale, and their final clearance section is worth a look, with prices marked down up to 70%.
Because eLuxury is owned by Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton (LVMH), it also features a Louis Vuitton boutique. Besides boasting their signature bags and purses, the boutique contains a large collection of sunglasses, watches, scarves and jewelry.
The website offers free shipping with no minimum required. Besides the apparel, the site also has a section dedicated to children, men, handbags, and even makeup.
The Internet has made shopping easier than ever, and finding clothing deals is now just a few short invites or clicks away. While not a complete list, Ideeli, Gilt Groupe, and eLuxury can help get you started on your way to obtaining the world-famous designer apparel you desire, at a price that is easier to afford.
