Today is the last day of the Yoox Friends and Family Sale, featuring items up to 90% off. A lot of it is picked over, but with over 14,000 items still available, there are still some nice selections left. Take a look below at our favorites, or check out the previous posts to see if any of it is still in stock. We first posted before the sale went public. A couple days later we added some more finds. If you missed out, don’t worry, here are the new picks:
It can be difficult to find the high end designer brands at big discounts, especially for the nicer styles, but we found a few nice picks this evening. Luisaworld.com has a selection up to 70% off, featuring Saint Laurent, Alexander Mcqueen, Valentino, Givenchy, and some others. A lot of it is sold out, but there are some very nice options still left.
First is a Size 50 Alexander Mcqueen Floral Print Jacket. $544 for a nylon jacket might not be a bargain, but marked down from $1800, it’s a unique piece and a good deal if you’ve been looking for it or something similar.
Next a Valentino Dragons Garden Print Bomber Jacket – Size 48, 50, 52 – $634
Saint Laurent Wax Coated Western Shirt with Snaps – Size Medium (fits more like a small) – $222
Saint Laurent Jacquard Trousers in a Wool / Silk blend in Black. Size 48 or 50 – $447. The pattern is SLP’s ‘Jardin Noir Peony’ jacquard. There is also a contrast band of suede down the side, which is not really visible in the photos. You can get a better view here.
Lastly, a couple bonus items from 24S, also at 70% off.
Dries van Noten trousers in a Cotton / Wool blend and contrast stripe down the side. Looks like the ‘Perkino’ cut. Size 48 – $157
The majority of the deals we post will be internet based, but for those lucky enough to be in certain cities like New York or Los Angeles, we will post an occasional sample or warehouse sale. We’ve had good experiences with sales at 260 Sample Sale in New York, though this one is in Miami. It is a multi-brand event, featuring Heron Preston, Palm Angels, Alyx Studio, Fear of God, Off-White, and Rhude.
Our recommendation for these sample sales is to try and go the first day to get the best selection, and also again towards the end, where prices have likely dropped, and you will know if there are things you may want to go back for.
The sale runs from Tuesday, October 20 through Sunday, October 25.
Tuesday: 11AM – 7PM
Wednesday: 11AM – 7PM
Thursday: 11AM – 7PM
Friday: 11AM – 7PM
Saturday: 11AM – 7PM
Sunday: 12PM – 5PM
180 NE 40th Street, Miami FL 33137
Common Projects deals on back to back days! Hopefully this one lasts a little longer. AKRikks has just marked down their archive items further; we caught this one so quickly that the prices aren’t even marked in the archive section until you go to the product page.
Edit: Huge FURTHER markdown! There are tons of great deals, check the link in above or take a look at the few additions below.
Edit 2: The AKRikks site is currently down. Either they were overloaded or the second round of markdowns were a mistake. We will see how they handle it. (An update post will be coming soon)
The Yoox Friends and Family Sale is now public, up to 90% off. We posted the link early 2 days ago but we found a few more good buys to pass along. They might not be as great as the earlier batch but still some nice items for good prices.
You better be quick, this deal will not last. Three different colors available, sizes are limited. There’s even a pair of the staple low white achilles. Click the images to purchase at Icons Collection. Shipping is 35 euros

Yoox.com describes their ‘Luckyoox’ boxes as follows:
“Each Luckyoox bag contains a surprise mix of clothing and accessory items valued at $350 or more. Contents of each bag are unique, and the quantity and variety of items vary for each box. Limited availability. The composition of the items may be different from one box to another. This Luckyoox bag contains men’s products.”
Yoox seems to be discontinuing these mystery boxes, though there are a few remaining at a discount, marked down to $109 from $150. I was curious what kind of items might be included, and what the $350 value is based on. Is that the brand’s retail cost or Yoox’s price?
Here is the box I received a few days after ordering, with a shoe box for scale. It weighed 6 pounds:
I started to wonder whether I was lucky enough to receive a pair of shoes as part of the box. Here’s what was inside:
No shoes, but still some potentially nice items. A red Fossil tin (watch?), a camouflage backpack, and a box which I assumed contained a clothing item, likely a shirt. The box was exciting, as I took it to be a sign that it was a quality item.
Here is a closer look at the accessories:
The Fossil tin contained a leather bracelet, not a watch. The backpack is by Herschel, a decent Canadian brand, known for their bags.
Now for the final box:
Costume National Homme. This is an Italian brand which I have never sought out, but for the cost of the mystery box I was happy with it.
The shirt inside was nice, though the blue color feels a bit outdated. It has a black contract tipped collar and the fabric is an interesting cotton/nylon blend. It’s not my style but it’s a nice enough shirt.
So was it worth it? Yes and no. For $109, the price is fair.
Now, it’s not exactly fair to say we’re getting a $350 value for $109. That is if we are paying retail price, while in reality, it probably wouldn’t be too difficult to find these items on sale. Combined with the fact that it is a blind purchase, with no ability to control or choose what you are getting, it becomes tougher to determine whether it is worth it. If you are lucky enough to get some items you like and will use, it can be a great deal. If you get things you don’t like, it doesn’t matter how big of a discount you’re getting.
At the $150 original price I’d be pretty disappointed, but for $109 it was worth the gamble. If you want to test your luck, here is a link to the Yoox Luckyoox page.
