Additionally, it can be very difficult to secure YSL products in the sale and some have noted how knowing a sales assistant at one of these stores and getting them to help you secure an item before the sale goes live is often the best way to guarantee you get your chosen Saint Laurent bag in the sale.

Also, you will often find that seasonal bags are the only available items in the sale at stores like Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus. This is not an uncommon practice for luxury brands; for example, Chanel also holds private VIP sales that primarily include seasonal pieces.

Bergdorf Goodman will also hold sales around twice a year but it is a real mix of items that are available in the sale, so there may be no bags at all and small leather goods and accessories will instead be available.

3. YSL cosmetics

YSL cosmetics are an outlier among the brand’s product ranges – you’ll see beauty and makeup products on sale more often, especially around the holiday season when Black Friday deals are taking place. These deals will often be both online and in-store and may include up to 20% off or free delivery – so it is much easier to find a good deal on your favorite Yves Saint Laurent cosmetics.

All in all, it is worth regularly checking all of these online sites, signing up for newsletters and emails so you are updated with any upcoming sales, as well as being a customer at YSL themselves to have access to the customer-only emails and private sale links.
