I'm trying to plan ahead for my sisters 30th birthday which is in December and I really want to get her something nice like a designer bag or maybe some high end shoes so I've been looking at what might go on sale for Cyber Monday 2026. I know it's a bit early but I like to be prepared since my budget is strictly under 1500 dollars and I'm based in NYC where things just disappear from shelves instantly lol.

I did some digging and saw that sites like SSENSE and Farfetch usually do pretty big markdowns but then I read this article saying that LVMH and some of the really big houses are trying to move away from heavy discounting to keep their exclusivity or whatever. So now I'm stuck wondering if brands like Loewe or Celine are even gonna participate this year or if they're just gonna do that thing where they hide the good stock until the sale is over.

My logic was that since the economy is a bit weird right now they might be more desperate to move inventory but then I hear the opposite from people online saying luxury is receding from the mass market. Does anyone have the inside scoop on which luxury brands are actually confirmed for 2026 sales? I don't wanna waste my time refreshing a page for a brand that never even drops their prices...
