Some of the best deals of the year come when consumer spending traditionally drops. Whether it's department store and boutique sales found at Nordstrom's end of summer sale, or Macy's Labor Day sale, you can find major markdowns up to 60% off on designer clothing and campus-ready luxury essentials. Highlights include high-fashion apparel from brands like Zimmermann and STAUD, alongside viral footwear trends and premium handbags from Coach and Reformation.

Macy's sale runs through September 7 with discounts up to 70% off. This is crazy good. When was the last time you got 70% off of anything? This includes deep price cuts on premium everyday sportswear from top names like Lauren Ralph Lauren and Levi's. 

For those not in the loop Shopbop is offering massive clearance pricing (up to 80% off) on Italian-made luxury apparel and contemporary designer blouses. To put it plainly, you need to check it out. Seriously. Do it now. Why are you still reading this?! You should be shopping now! Make sure to snag those deals before it's too late!

Finally, other platforms like Luxury Accessory Promo are offering great deals on designer rentals. They are offering a $150 membership credit through September 8 with code LDW150, making it a highly affordable way to carry premium luxury handbags onto campus. Say you only need that special something for a special few days, save by renting!

In short, Amazon has a lot of competition this year when considering these options. A lot of sales are happening in-person and drawing people back into the brick and mortar stores. Lots of our friends and family have reported stellar value from designer luxury ends in malls to chain stores to thrift shops. It's not always economical to shop on Amazon getting some off-brand. Especially when you consider the value coming from everyone else these days! Get to it!
