BARGAIN-HUNTERS are snapping up designer deals for a fraction of the price thanks to a secret online website.
BrandAlley, the UK’s leading off-price luxury and premium retailer, is offering clothing, accessories, jewellery and even homeware for up to 85 per cent off.
The site has even launched a dedicated Christmas section, making it easy to pick out presents for loved ones without blowing the festive budget.
Among the eye-catching deals is a Le Monde Du Lin Navy Maxi Linen Dress, reduced from £155 to just £42, which is a huge 73 per cent saving and a stylish pick for autumn wardrobes.
Shoppers looking to splash out can also pick up a luxury timepiece at a jaw-dropping discount.
The Christophe-Duchamp Women’s Silver & Black Elysees Watch has been slashed from £1,450 to £245, which is a massive 83 per cent off.
It makes for a perfect gift, with options available in both men’s and women’s styles.
Big brand names
Big-name brands including Gucci, Tom Ford, Hugo Boss, Prada, Calvin Klein and Mulberry are among the 250 designer labels available on the site.
They also sell premium homeware staples like Le Creuset, which is currently up to 60 per cent off as the cookware giant celebrates 100 years.
Shoppers do have to factor in a £4.99 delivery fee, but the savings on offer mean customers are still quids in compared to buying direct from designer retailers.
Is it legit?
And for those wondering whether the bargains are too good to be true, the company insists all stock is 100% authentic, sourced directly from brands or their authorised distributors.
Trustpilot reviews back this up, with over 80,000 customers giving BrandAlley an “Excellent” 4.3-star rating.
The main gripe from buyers is that delivery can take a little longer than usual as items are often ordered in bulk after flash sales close.
But for many, the wait is worth it when luxury bags, watches and clothing arrive at discount prices.
With Christmas creeping closer, the site is proving a go-to destination for shoppers wanting designer gifts under the tree without the designer price tag.
How to save money on Christmas gifts
Christmas shopping can be a serious drain on your wallet but there are plenty of ways to cut costs without cutting corners.
One of the easiest tricks is to limit the number of presents you’re buying.
Splashing out on gifts for the whole family can quickly add up, so why not suggest a Secret Santa within your inner circle?
That way everyone still gets something special, but you’re not stuck forking out for multiple gifts.
Planning ahead is another savvy move.
If your budget can stretch, the summer sales are the perfect time to pick up next year’s Christmas presents at rock-bottom prices.
In the run-up to Christmas, don’t just settle for the first price you see.
Price comparison sites can help you make sure you’re bagging the best possible deal.
And remember, the Boxing Day sales often kick off before December 25, so it’s worth keeping your eyes peeled.
Even if you pay a little more for delivery, the savings can be well worth it.
For bigger bargains, check out outlet stores like Amazon Warehouse or Office Offcuts.
These sites specialise in selling returned or slightly damaged products at heavily discounted rates and most of the time, the flaws are barely noticeable.
With a bit of planning and some smart shopping, you can keep Christmas magical without blowing the budget.
How to save money on Christmas shopping
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how you can save money on your Christmas shopping.
Limit the amount of presents – buying presents for all your family and friends can cost a bomb.
Instead, why not organise a Secret Santa between your inner circles so you’re not having to buy multiple presents.
Plan ahead – if you’ve got the stamina and budget, it’s worth buying your Christmas presents for the following year in the January sales.
Make sure you shop around for the best deals by using price comparison sites so you’re not forking out more than you should though.
Buy in Boxing Day sales – some retailers start their main Christmas sales early so you can actually snap up a bargain before December 25.
Delivery may cost you a bit more, but it can be worth it if the savings are decent.
Shop via outlet stores – you can save loads of money shopping via outlet stores like Amazon Warehouse or Office Offcuts.
They work by selling returned or slightly damaged products at a discounted rate, but usually any wear and tear is minor.
