These Sale Prices on Designer Bags, Shoes, and More Are So Low, It Feels Illegal

Working in fashion has taught me a lot of things, but the thing that's stuck with me the most is that fashion editors really, really, really love the end–of-year sale at Net-a-Porter. No, seriously.

I vividly remember the first time I was in the office when the sale launched. (That's how my co-workers referred to it: "the sale."). The most fashionable people I had ever seen were crouched over a large desktop monitor, mouths agape, shocked by what they were seeing on sale. I used one of my very first paychecks to buy a pair of Re/Done jeans from that sale, and to this day, I shop the highly anticipated event annually without fail.

It's not just for nostalgia: Net-a-Porter's end-of-year sale is truly one of the best of the season, and so many incredible brands that you rarely see on sale are up to 70 percent off. Things are already selling out at this one, but there are still 12,000 items on sale, and prices start at $5. Brands like Altuzarra, Stella McCartney, and even Valentino are included. Basically, you'd be hard-pressed to find something that isn't amazing at a price so low, it should be illegal.

If you want to buy a wardrobe staple from The Row, there's this ribbed silk and cotton-blend midi skirt, which is marked down to $440. In terms of bags, Stella McCartney has a great vegan oversized shoulder bag for under $600. You've likely been influenced to invest in a pair of Vejas thanks to Meghan Markle or Jennifer Garner, and Net-a-Porter has knit Veja sneakers for under $150. And if you want something more obscure, I think Andersson Bell makes some of the greatest knits out there, and this cotton-blend pointelle sweater is just $172. Once again, you really, truly, can't go wrong.

Trust me when I say you never forget your first Net-a-Porter end-of-year sale purchase. I still wear that Re/Done pair I purchased all those years ago. And come to think of it, I have never regretted anything I've bought from Net-a-Porter, which, coming from an impulsive shopper, says a lot.
