Here are 10 brands that never — or almost never — go on sale.
Last updated: May 4, 2021
Apple
Apple has very occasional sales — including a Black Friday sale — but they are few and far between, according to iMore. The tech retailer will occasionally mark down a specific product, and although it will be discounted on its website, it’s typically not advertised and there won’t any signage about these sales in its stores. So, for the most part, you’ll have to pay the full sales prices for any Apple product.

Away
Trendy luggage brand Away almost never goes on sale. In March, the company had its second sale of all time, Marie Claire reported. So unless you get very lucky with your timing, you probably won’t be able to get these travel accessories at a discount.

Canada Goose
Outerwear retailer Canada Goose is known for having extra-warm coats — but you’ll have to pay full price if you want one of them.
“We are proud of the high-quality products we manufacture, and we stand behind the workmanship and expertise that goes into creating each parka, sweater, lightweight down jacket and accessory we make. As such, we never hold Canada Goose sales or Black Friday discounts, either on our website or in our stores,” the company states on its website.

Chanel
You can find vintage Chanel bags sold at a discount, but you won’t ever find its iconic bags — including the 2.55, boy bag and classic flaps — sold at a discount when they are new, Style Barista reported. However, you can buy some of its other products at a discount during its bi-annual sales and during department store sales.

Hermes
Technically, Hermes does go on sale, but it only happens twice a year — and only in Paris. However, its bi-annual sample sale at Le Palais de Congress does not include its famous handbags, BagAddicts Anonymous reported. So if you’re looking to buy a coveted Kelly or Birkin bag, be prepared to pay full price.

Louis Vuitton
Luxury retailer Louis Vuitton never has sales and it does not have an outlet store. If you find marked-down Louis Vuitton merchandise online, chances are that it’s fake.
According to the brand’s official site, “Louis Vuitton never marks down its prices, so unless they are secondhand, discounted Louis Vuitton items found online are highly suspicious of being counterfeit.”

Lush
Upscale bath and body retailer Lush only has one sale a year — its BOGO sale that happens annually the day after Christmas. If you’re shopping any other day of the year, however, don’t expect to get any discounts.

Peloton
Peloton sales boomed amid the pandemic — and all those customers paid full price. According to Pelo Buddy, “the Peloton doesn’t ever go on sale, in the traditional sense. Black Friday deals, referral codes, or military/health discounts are typically the only way to save money on the purchase of [a] new Peloton bike or tread, and this just gets you free accessories.”
