Every year there comes a time which creates as much excitement as it does angst – sale season. Clothing retailers slash their prices and brace for the imminent flood of bargain-hunting customers and unless you’re a sale veteran, things can get ugly, quickly. That’s why, for the first time ever, Barneys New York is offering everyone the chance to shop from the comfort of their own homes.

Barneys New York is in the upper echelon of luxury department stores, selling some of the most desirable brand’s ranges all under one roof. Once a year, they open their warehouse doors for a massive sale which see some prices being slashed by as much as 75%. Considering that many of the products on sale start with price tags of well over $1000, that’s a rather substantial saving. That’s also why their annual Warehouse sales are not for the faint-hearted. So it follows that many people will be thrilled to learn that the infamous is going online, for the first time ever.

It works just like any regular online shopping experience, except that you’ll have to register beforehand to qualify. From there on out, it’s a free-for-all. Plus, online shoppers will have exclusive access to certain sale items a full day before their physical counterparts, sheer insanity! Best part, Barneys offers international shipping.

The sale officially opens on 23 August and runs through to 3 September.
