We all can’t afford such luxuries such as designer bags and dresses but websites such as the Gilt Groupe and RueLaLa are making it possible to own designer items at discounted prices. These invite-only sites feature one day sales from designers such as Alexander McQueen, Marc Jacobs, and Gucci. You can find dresses, bags, and shoes for men, women, and kids. Gilt Groupe even has a special section for luxury getaways. Thrifty brand-conscious consumers are able to save 40-50% off original prices with these websites. Gilt Groupe and RueLaLa are only two examples making luxuries more affordable to consumers. There are many other websites available that cater to different niches.

It’s easy to sign up for Hautelook but for Gilt Groupe, you’ll need an invite from a member.
