SELFRIDGES is the place to look if you fancy treating yourself to a luxury product or two, and Black Friday is the time many choose to stock up for less.
Shoppers hoping for huge discounts on popular brands like Whistles, Ted Baker, and Reiss are in for a treat, read on to find out what’s on offer in the Selfridges Black Friday sale this year.
A luxury buy for less[/caption]Whether it’s fashionable threads for yourself, something for your home, or the perfect gift for someone else – Selfridges has it all, and Black Friday is usually the time you’ll find the best offers.
Known for its range of luxury designer items, shoppers opt for Black Friday as their chance to enjoy significant discounts on thousands of products, both in-store and online.
With the holiday season fast approaching, it’s a great time for customers to save big on their favourite brands and products too.
Our guide below will give you the complete rundown of everything you’ll need to know ahead of time.
This year Black Friday falls on November 24.
Originally an event celebrated in America and always the day after Thanksgiving, Black Friday has since become a global shopping event.
The retail tradition has become especially popular in the UK in recent years, with many deals continuing throughout the weekend, now commonly referred to as ‘Cyber Weekend’.
Many retailers choose to continue their deals even further into the beginning of December, giving shoppers a chance to bag a last-minute Christmas bargain.
Traditionally, Selfridges tend to not participate in the annual Black Friday sales event.
In previous years, however, the store has chosen to offer its own sales event in lieu of Black Friday, calling offers ‘Christmas Comes Early’ discounts.
The exact details of the discounts vary from year to year, but customers can expect to find a range of deals available as early as two weeks before the Black Friday event itself.
The Selfridges sale is a great opportunity for bargain-hunters to pick up Christmas gifts for less, or splash out on some treats for themselves ahead of the festive season.
During previous sales events around this time, there is undoubtedly a huge range of exciting discounts across all categories.
We expect significant savings, especially across products that are gifted for the holiday season, which includes electrical items, beauty deals, fragrances and designer fashion and accessories.
Big-name brands like Aspinal of London, LK Bennett, and Coach featured in the savings last year, with many items slashed to half price.
There were plenty of deals on women’s handbags too, with Marc Jacobs and Mulberry highlighted in the savings.
Many popular Mulberry styles had discounts of between 25-40% off.
High-end fashion labels like Balenciaga and Dior also offered savings on clothing and accessories.
Here are some of the highlights from last year’s sale:
Cyber Monday is always the Monday directly after Black Friday and the Cyber Weekend, this year it falls on November 27.
Because Selfridges doesn’t usually hold an official Black Friday sale, it doesn’t normally do anything official for Cyber Monday either.
However, the brand is likely to be hosting its own pre-Christmas deals, or extending its ‘Christmas Comes Early’ offers to snap up some discounts ahead of the festivities.
All Selfridge stores have different opening times and times are subject to change on bank holidays.
