Mr. Porter 50% off sale - picked up gucci tux etc already - Page 33

Damn! Gave us the initial dose to lure us in and now things aren't as sweet. Oh well, now I can buy a pair of Vass.

What a joke. In the UK Mr Porter charges £255 ($403) for a pair of Incotex casual trousers, whereas at Harrods they're £175 ($276; same ones). That means even with 30% off Mr Porter is still more expensive than Harrods RRP.

Spoke to Customer Service and they've 're-branded' it to be called a Preview sale of which Founding Members participate. There was even one item that should not have been excluded from the sale yet showed up full price in my cart. I would basically have to purchase it and once shipped, I'd be refunded the discount back.

Disappointing overall, but I'm glad I took full advantage last year on the first founder's sale. They've excluded more and more items as the sales have progressed anyway so I'm quite thankful I got my 50% Lobbs last year. At this point, it only warrants waiting for the public sale and watching items to see if they make it to the 50% markdown stage or even beyond. Some of my best buys came on the winter sale when some Purple label and Canali items I bought got cut down 70%.

I've read through this thread (the recent posts) several times and have concluded that I'm stupid. I too am wondering when the public sale starts? I see a post about the sale starting today but am confused as to whether that is only for Founding Members and the public sale opens later or if the sale has officially opened for everyone?

It sounds like most everything I'm interested in will be excluded anyway but just curious.

Sale started. 30% off until Wednesday.. Lot of stuff seems to be going OOS though that I had on my wish list.

 

Let me know if anyone wants proxying, as I'm a founding member.

The sale that started today is only for Founding Members.

Hmm... I'm a founding member and didn't receive notice of the sale.

Got the email this morning. It is for US only.. not sure if that helps. 

I didn't receive an email notification either and I am a founding member. I get plenty of their other spam though!

Here is a screen cap of this morning's Preview Sale email:

Any ideia about when the official sale is beginning?

 

I just get this 

Where cna I see if an item is a wardrobe staple?

It will say in the search results or on the item page. Just do ctrl+f on the item page and it's above the main title to the right usually.
