260
If you happen to live in New York City, Los Angeles, Miami or Chicago, you can shop 260 fashion, home and beauty sample sales in person. No need to worry if you don't, as the company also has an online store.
Merchandise changes every week, but the company has hosted Marc Jacobs, Alexander Wang, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Maje, James Perse, Diesel and Bobbi Brown Cosmetics -- just to name a few. Shopping events typically last from four to seven days and allow you to save 60% to 90% off original retail prices.
The Real Real
Technically speaking, The Real Real is a luxury resale site, but that doesn't mean you can't find brand-new items. Whether you're searching for clothing, bags, jewelry, watches or home décor, you just need to set the right search features.
To find brand-new items, simply filter your search to include online "Items with tags." You'll be presented with deeply discounted luxury goods someone else purchased -- likely for a lot more -- but never bothered to even remove the tags from.
