I have to say, I am quite disappointed in so many items being sold out so early in the season. There were many items that I added to my wish list a few months ago in anticipation of this sale, and many of them have already been sold out. Really shocked and upset, I guess I am going to have to track them down in the stores. 


I have no insider knowledge, but I suspect Ralph Lauren's inventory in the past few years has been inflated and they've had to rely on these pre-sales/private sales/clearance sales to blow out more inventory at much lower margins than they would prefer. I suspect they didn't buy/produce as much this season and were able to sell through a larger percentage at prices closer to retail. It's also possible they're holding back some of the faster moving items they know they can sell at a lower discount than 40%+10%.

Many of the items I added to my wish list are in stock, but not marked down on the website.

Or maybe it was the recent employee leak cleaning out their inventory.

Does anyone know if there is going to be a pre-sale for ralphlauren.co.uk?

It's still $179.99 in the cart. No promo code?

Put them in your cart, then click the link to the sale in another tab. It should apply the 15% to the items already in your cart. It worked for me.


Appreciate all the help. Doesn't seem like it's working for me though. And I probably should cool off on the shopping anyways.

They're not the same sale? I thought the "pre-sale" means "valued" customers just get first dibs. The sale that starts on Monday is the same sale isn't it?

first dibs on what though? i don't see anything listed that i didn't see weeks ago when I bought stuff w/ the employee discount code. and the black/purple lines are not part of the sale. to be honest, maybe i'm just cheap, but the 65% off is about what i felt the >$150 stuff was worth even though I liked much of what I got very much.
