It seems like everything is on sale all the time these days. Retailers are constantly clamoring for our attention with shiny deals and sitewide discounts, hoping to compete for our attention in an oversaturated market. This effort has created a sense of deal fatigue among consumers, and in some cases, has also cheapened the perception of the brands themselves.
But some retailers have taken a different approach, only offering sales a few times a year to make their brands seem more exclusive and their deals seem more enticing. It’s a classic page out of the old luxury handbook, which says that only hosting a few sales (or none at all) can improve a brand’s reputation and demand.
For the brands that only offer very occasional discounts, Black Friday is typically the time we see their best deals. Below, we’ve rounded up a list of brands that rarely offer big sales, along with details about their current discounts. Our team spends months preparing for and writing about Black Friday, but we also cover sales and deals throughout the year — so these are the sales we’re always the most excited to see. Stay tuned, as we’ll be updating this list all throughout the day.
For more of our coverage, check out our expert roundup of the best Black Friday deals happening now, across categories.
Alo Yoga: 30% off sitewide
Alo Yoga
Shop Alo Yoga’s Black Friday sale
Alo usually only holds two sales a year; Its “Aloversary” sale happens in the spring, while its Black Friday sale is happening now. Both feature 30% off sitewide, including both new arrivals and the sale section. We love the brand’s leggings, but definitely don’t sleep on its snow-bunny-inspired outerwear, either.
Apple TV: 54% off your first 6 months

Sign up for Apple TV’s Black Friday promo
Apple TV’s Black Friday deal gets you 54% off the first six months of service for new and eligible returning subscribers. This drops the monthly price from $12.99 to $5.99 for the first half of the year, which is about $42 in savings. After the six-month promo ends, the plan renews at the standard rate (currently $12.99 a month), but you can cancel anytime before then.
Article: Up to 40% off furniture
Article
Shop Article’s Black Friday sale
Article is known for its modern take on Mid-century furniture design. The brand rarely has sales, but right now you’ll find some of the best Black Friday furniture deals we’ve seen on living room furniture like sofas and credenzas, bedroom furniture, and more.
Away: 25% off sitewide
Away
Shop Away’s Black Friday Sale
This is Away’s one major sale of the year. You’ll occasionally find deals on certain products throughout the year as well, but this is your big chance to save on the brand’s viral luggage. We love its signature hard-shell suitcases and its packing accessories.
Disney Plus with Hulu: Select bundles are up to 60% off

See the Disney Plus with Hulu Black Friday sale
The standout offer in Disney Plus and Hulu’s Black Friday promotion is a steep discount on the ad-supported bundle, giving new and eligible returning members more than 60% off their first year. With this deal, the bundle’s monthly cost drops from $12.99 to $4.99 for 12 months. Disney is also offering a rare price cut on the ad-free bundle: subscribers can lock it in for $14.99 per month for a year before it returns to its regular price (currently $19.99 a month). That works out to a monthly savings of about 25%.
Hill House Home: 25% off everything

Shop Hill House Home’s Black Friday sale
Hill House Home’s annual sale typically takes place around Black Friday. The brand still offers a sale section year-round, so it’s not that you can never get discounts, but it’s rare for the whole site to be on sale. Right now, you can shop our favorites like the brand’s signature Nap Dress, ultra-feminine jackets, and other bestsellers.
Jenni Kayne: 25% off everything and $50 back if you spend $250
Jenni Kayne
Shop Jenni Kayne’s Black Friday sale
Known for its luxe cashmere and classic wear-forever sweaters, Jenni Kayne is an unsurprising favorite of Meghan Markle and the Reviews team alike. The brand does have seasonal sales and promotions around big holidays, but it’s definitely not common to find its bestsellers on sale. We’ve seen discounts go as low as 40% at Jenni Kayne, but typically those promotions are on out-of-season items. This sale is across the whole site, and includes $50 back if you spend $250.
Jones Road: 25% off minis and up to 20% off everything else
Sally Kaplan/Business Insider
Shop Jones Road’s Black Friday sale
Jones Road’s first Black Friday sale includes 25% off its Mini Miracle Balms, and then everything else is on a buy-more, save-more deal with 10% off any purchase under $75, 15% off if you spend $75 to $100, and 20% off if you spend $100 or more.
I love Jones Road’s makeup (that’s me and my favorite products in the picture up there) because its gives me a natural look while hydrating my skin. The Miracle Balms I mentioned above are my number one, but don’t sleep on its foundation if you like lightweight coverage.
L.L.Bean: 15% off everything
L.L.Bean
Shop L.L.Bean’s Black Friday sale
L.L.Bean rarely offers discounts of more than 10%, so its Black Friday sale, with 15% off everything, is actually quite a solid deal. You can save on popular (and extremely giftable) items like the Boat & Tote and rarely-discounted styles of Wicked Good Slippers.
lululemon: Up to 50% off
lululemon
Shop lululemon’s Black Friday sale
Lululemon’s Black Friday sale is an exciting one every year. It’s one of the few times you can save on the brand’s more popular styles with discounts up to 50% off. You can also shop by price points, so you can see items under $50 (or any other price point). You can shop leggings, bags, sweatshirts, and more on sale.
Margaux: 20% off everything
Margaux
Shop Margaux’s Black Friday sale
While Margaux’s semi-annual archive sale is a great chance to score discounts on retired (or retiring) styles and colors, there’s only one sale a year that includes all of their shoes. Right now, you can shop its cult-favorite flats, extremely elegant boots, and sleek loafers for 20% off.
Masterclass: Up to 50% off subscriptions
Masterclass
Shop Masterclass’ Black Friday sale
Masterclass is an online learning platform where you can take classes from celebrities and the world’s foremost experts and busness leaders. All three annual membership options include access to more than 200 online courses, but the key difference is how many devices you can use with each plan: Standard allows one device, Plus allows two, and Premium allows up to six. Plus and Premium also let you download content to watch offline, while Standard does not.
Nadaam: Up to 50% off cashmere
Nadaam
Shop Naadam’s Black Friday sale
Our team has been a fan of Nadaam’s affordable cashmere for years. We started testing them about 7 years ago, and our resident cashmere-obsessed style editor is still a big fan today. Check out Nadaam’s best sale of the year, with discounts on men’s and women’s cashmere sweaters and accessories.
Nordstrom: Up to 60% off (in rare cases, even more)
Nordstrom
Shop Nordstrom’s Black Friday sale
Nordstrom typically has two major sales of the year (the Half-Yearly Sale and the Anniversary Sale), plus a big Black Friday sale. This year you can save up to 60% off pretty much every category, including men’s clothing and shoes, women’s clothing and shoes, home, beauty, and more.
Parachute: 25% off everything
Parachute
Shop Parachute’s Black Friday sale
Parachute typically only has two big sales a year, with the occasional promotion running in between. Right now you can get 25% off sitewide, which means a great deal on some of the best bedding we’ve tested. We love its percale sheet sets and its down comforters and mattress toppers.
Quince: Up to 30% off select styles
Quince
Shop Quince’s Black Friday sale
Quince only hosts one other sale other than Black Friday, but this sale has the deepest discounts you’ll see from the DTC brand all year. The catch? Its deals only last for a 24-hour period. Pay close attention for certain cashmere sweaters, linen sheets, or lightweight luggage to be included, because they’ll switch to a new round of deals at midnight.
Reformation: 25% off plus free shipping
Reformation
Shop Reformation’s Black Friday sale
Whether you’re shopping for a cozy sweater or a special dress to wear to an upcoming wedding, Reformation’s got it all. This 25%-off sale offers a rare opportunity to save on the brand’s bestsellers, including it’s famous recycled cashmere.
Silk & Snow: Up to 30% off bedding, furniture, and mattresses
Silk & Snow
Shop Silk & Snow’s Black Friday sale
We love Silk & Snow most for its famous easy-assembly bed frames, but we are also big fans of its mattresses. Both are discounted significantly right now, which is a rare occurrence for the brand. If you’re buying a mattress, you can save up to $300 off, with some including a free sleep bundle.
SKIMS: 30% off sitewide

Shop SKIMS’ Black Friday sale
SKIMS fans already know that the brand only has two big sales a year. Right now, its Black Friday sale is offering 30% off sitewide, even on new arrivals. This sale does, however, exclude the SKIMS x Nike collab and a few other collaborations.
Spanx: Up to 50% off
Spanx
Shop Spanx’s Black Friday sale
Spanx has a couple of seasonal sales a year, but it’s rare to see such good discounts on bestsellers, like 30% off Air Essentials (pictured on the left) and denim (pictured on the right). Of course, the brand’s famous shapewear is also on sale, but we’re more partial to its clothing.
Rothy’s: Up to 30% off
Rothy’s
Shop Rothy’s Black Friday sale
We are huge fans of Rothy’s, the direct-to-consumer startup that got famous for making comfy flats out of recycled water bottles. The brand has stayed true to its original identity by continuing to use recycled materials, but now they have so many other styles to choose from. Check out our favorites: the cozy clogs, comfy loafers, and adorable Mary-Janes.
Vuori: Up to 50% off, plus freebies
Vuori
Shop Vuori’s Black Friday sale
For Black Friday this year, Vuori is doing a promo where you can earn a free Vuori Zipper Pouch when you spend over $150, or get a free Vuori Tote Bag and Zipper Pouch when you spend over $250. That’s not super exciting to us, so where we’re really focused in the brand’s sale section. While you can shop it year-round, we’ve noticed some really good and unexpected deals popping up around this period as the brand starts to phase in new colors, materials, and styles. Shop the women’s sale and the men’s sale to scoop up everything from joggers to jackets.
