Luxury for Less: Designer Fashion Labor Day Sales You Need to Know About

Labor Day sales can feel like Christmas morning for fashion lovers. While everyone else is thinking about barbecues and the end of summer, we’re over here plotting our fall wardrobe takeover. This year’s designer fashion markdowns are so good, I’ve already had to hide my credit cards from myself twice.

Whether you’re hunting for that perfect transitional piece or finally ready to splurge on investment items you’ve been eyeing all season, these Labor Day sales are serving up some serious deals. I’ve done the heavy lifting (and the scrolling) to bring you the seven most drool-worthy sales that’ll have your closet thanking you come fall. Let’s dive into them!

Nordstrom: The Goldmine of Fall Essentials

Nordstrom just refreshed their sale section, and honestly, it’s like they read my diary. We’re talking up to 60% off brands that usually make our wallets weep: Frame, AllSaints, and Mulberry are all playing nice with our budgets right now! From the Frame Sport Tipped Cotton Polo down to $200 (from $348), to the AllSaints Rivi Midi Dress for $110, which is practically stealing at 35% off. I’m in awe of these prices. Even the Mulberry Lana Crossbody is 30% off, and while it is still quite the investment, this is Mulberry we’re talking about, so we know that this bag will outlive us all.

Amazon: Unexpected Luxury Finds

I know, I know. Amazon for designer fashion? You’re skeptical, I get it, but hear me out. They’ve got some seriously impressive Labor Day deals on brands like Coach, Leset, and rag & bone that’ll make you do a double-take. The Coach Tabby Shoulder Bag 26 is sitting pretty at $473 (down from $550), and it’s exactly the kind of bag that makes people ask, “Where did you get that?” The Leset Yoshi Tie Shirt at $196 is another winner, perfect for those “I look effortless but actually spent 20 minutes getting ready” moments we all love! 

Saks Fifth Avenue: Where Dreams Meet Reality

Saks is doing that thing where they pretend to be casual about having major markdowns on labels that usually require a small loan. Hill House Home, Loeffler Randall, and Favorite Daughter are all on sale, and I’m not mad about it.

The Hill House Home Carolina Shirt Dress at $179 (was $278) is the kind of piece that works for literally everything. Brunch? Check. Work presentation? Double check. Existential crisis at Target? It’s got you covered. And those Christian Dior Wildior Sunglasses at $273? That’s 30% off designer eyewear that’ll make you feel like you belong in a French film, even if you’re just picking up groceries.

Madewell: Denim Dreams Come True

Through September 3rd, Madewell is offering 30% off new fall arrivals with code LONGWEEKEND, plus an extra 40% off sale styles. It’s like they want us to have nice things!

Their Low-Slung Baggy Jean at $104 is the perfect antidote to skinny jean fatigue, and the Suede Chore Blazer at $437 (down from $625) is the kind of piece that instantly elevates your entire wardrobe. It’s giving “I definitely have my life together” energy, and we could all use a little help with that, couldn’t we?

Bloomingdale’s: The Sale Section of Our Dreams

With over 30,000 sale items live right now, Bloomingdale’s is basically begging us to lose an entire afternoon browsing. The Maje Double-Faced Coat with Scarf is 60% off at $316, which is honestly shocking because Maje rarely goes on sale like this. Plus, the Rag & Bone Emerson Tote at $146 (was $298) is another steal. It’s one of those bags that looks expensive because, well, it is, but now it won’t completely destroy your budget.

Net-A-Porter: Luxury at Its Finest

Net-A-Porter’s Labor Day sales are legendary, and this year they’re serving up to 70% off, including some serious heavy hitters. We’re talking Loewe, The Row, and Jacquemus, people. The beauty of Net-A-Porter sales is that even their markdown prices feel luxurious. These aren’t fast fashion pieces that’ll fall apart after three washes! These are investment pieces that’ll still look amazing years from now.

Everlane: Sustainable Style Made Affordable

Last but definitely not least, Everlane is offering up to 70% off select styles until September 1st. If you’ve been waiting to try their famous denim or classic cashmere pieces, this is your moment. Their sustainable approach to fashion means you can feel good about your purchases, and at these prices, you can afford to stock up on those wardrobe staples you actually need.

Final Thoughts

The beauty of these Labor Day sales isn’t just the savings (though let’s be real, we love a good deal). It’s the opportunity to invest in pieces that’ll carry you through fall and beyond. Whether you’re looking for that statement coat or finally ready to upgrade your handbag game, these sales are serving up everything we need to step into fall looking absolutely incredible! Where are you heading first?
