Things I Would Buy: Black Friday Designer Sale

Work hard, play hard.

That’s the motto behind every add-to-cart and confirm-your-order—because honey, there are some G-O-O-D designer sales happening this Black Friday. These are my picks:

It’s spacious, it’s roomy, it’s classic. An edgier take on the once ubiquitous Boston bag, the Givenchy Antigona is the perfect day-to-day bag that is equally functional as it is chic. If you’re someone who can’t leave the house without their kitchen sink, or need a black hole large enough to fit a change of shoes or gym clothes to run to rehearsal right after work (hi, that’d be me), this is the bag for you.

Pro tip #1: Use this promo code, ‘BFRSE17,’ instead of the one Luisaviaroma shows on their site. You’ll get 30% off select items instead of the standard 20%!

Pro tip #2: Sign up for Ebates to get up to 4.5% cash back on your purchase; you want $77.18 back, right? (It’s not a gimmick, I promise; I just got my check in the mail).

My first statement ‘designer’ purse was a little Coach shoulder bag in silver cowhide—and god, how I loved (and wore) that thing to death. The other girls in my grade were toting their monogrammed Coaches; I’d wanted the plain metallic one.

To this day my taste hasn’t changed. I love a silver statement bag. I love a simple, unobtrusive monogram. And I love a good discount on a designer bag.

FYI: As I’m writing this, there are only two Saint Laurent sunset chain bags left, so if you’re as into it as I am, skip the apps and checkout now.

Give me anything Saint Laurent or some kind of animal print embossed and I’m a happy girl. I’ve been eyeing up the croc-embossed Sac de Jour for   y e a r s    now, and the fact that it’s on sale—at long last—is almost too good to be true.

The navy version of this tote is actually discounted a little more, so if an indigo-navy blue is more your speed, click here.

I can’t get over the fact that the large Saint Laurent croc-embossed Sac de Jour bag is cheaper than its medium counterpart. I have an inkling that it’s marked down so steeply because it’s marketed as a man’s bag, but I’m not arguing with Ssense. If you need a boss-bitch, HBIC work bag, you’re looking at one.
