There’s nothing like sniffing out a fashion bargain - especially when done from the comfort of your desk at work, or the couch on Sunday morning.
There is a plethora of online bargain sites out there. Most are absolute rubbish, but just like when you’re trawling through a bargain rack there are some real gems! Here are a few favourites from the nzgirl team...
Name: ASOS
The sell: ‘ASOS is the UK's largest online fashion and beauty store with over 200 new items every week and over 6,500 products available at any one time.’
The deal: If you’re searching for the latest celebrity fashion, then ASOS should be your first port of call. These guys take the latest trends from the celebs and turn them into affordable pieces to incorporate into your wardrobe. Keep an eye on their sales and clearance stock for some great deals. They also ship to NZ!
The sell: ‘Missy is committed to giving you the scoop on the hottest fashion, sample-sale and beauty bargains along with exclusive offers every week.’
The deal: You sign yourself up for a weekly newsletter (select the ‘online steals’ option) and receive that week’s hot online bargains and special Missy discount codes. Because the service and sites are generally Aussie based, you don’t have to worry about dodgy postage.
The sell: ‘Your wardrobe has never looked so good. Shineon is a kiwi duo who specialise in selling end of lines and sample stock for well known designer labels.’
The deal: These guys started out selling via Trade Me, but these days operate their own site selling vintage finds and "on behalf" for a range of Kiwi designers.
The deal: These guys are like a local equivalent of Amazon, meaning you can get international books, CDs and movies at cheap prices and without the hassle of organising international shipping. They also have some great prices on local stock as well.
The sell: ‘The world's leading provider of discounted designer skin care, makeup, cosmetics, perfume and men's and women's fragrances.’
The deal: These guys are based in Hong Kong and have some of the best prices around for cosmetics. Plus the items come beautifully wrapped - with quick and free postage!
