Best Designer Sales for Labor Day 2023

Publish date: 2024-05-19

I’ll let you in on a fashion editor secret: Labor Day’s best designer sales are serially underrated. The upcoming three-day weekend is considered more of an outdoor lounging holiday than a shopping extravaganza, but it coincides with some impressive fashion deals at Saks Fifth Avenue, Nordstrom, Net-a-Porter, and Bergdorf Goodman. This year, there are savings of up 70 percent off leading up to and during the holiday weekend.

In my experience, Labor Day’s best designer deals aren’t to wear right now. They’re to help you dress for fall in a few short weeks. I’ve seen my theory proven in current savings on everything from the best fall dresses to street style’s preferred oversized coats. But if you’re the sort of shopper who wants to wear their orders ASAP, never fear: Late-summer essentials like beach totes, one-piece swimsuits, and on-trend sunglasses are also in the mix.

Scrolling through each luxury site’s A–Z designer sale edit could take precious time away from your real Labor Day beach, pool, or barbecue plans, even if you browse early. So I’ve curated the best designer deals for Labor Day 2023 for you, covering savings on clothing, footwear, and handbags across the top luxury retailers. This post will be updated with additional savings before the holiday ends—but it never hurts to get a head start.

The Best Designer Bag Deals of Labor Day 2023

St. Agni’s best crossbody travel bag, in a rattan-leather mix. The Row’s creamy leather top-handle tote bag. Peter Do’s signature suede dumpling purse. The designer bag deals that are currently sitting in my cart have a decided bent toward quiet luxury brands. A few standouts bring bursts of color and intricate, textured details, like Staud’s intricately beaded “Bean” shoulder bag.

The Best Designer Clothing Deals of Labor Day 2023

Where clothing is concerned, I found a little bit of everything on sale for Labor Day: wide-leg jeans, cozy wool coats, satin going-out tops. When I consulted my own cart after sifting through the sales at Bergdorf, Saks, and Nordstrom, I noticed more fall dresses than any other category. In my defense, the deals I found included rarely-on-sale designers like Aliétte and Marine Serre. My favorites from those two brands, plus a knit mini from Copenhagen breakout A. Roege Hove and a flouncy white midi from Simone Rocha, are all included below.

The Best Designer Shoe Deals of Labor Day 2023

So far, the best Labor Day designer shoe deals cover everything from late-summer sandals to leather boots for the height of fall. While I normally reserve my designer spending for true investment buys, I can’t help but consider an impulse purchase when Loewe’s surrealist candle heels and The Row's satin ballerinas are on the table. That said, I also spotted some of fashion’s most coveted pieces at a steep discount, like a berry-pink pair of Manolo Blahnik’s Hangisi satin pumps.
