^ This. Also, I am in the exact same boat. Been refreshing my wishlist daily and it is honestly exhausting. Trying to snag a decent designer coat without spending a whole paycheck is basically a sport at this point. Here is my DIY approach to not getting ripped off:

• I started a manual log of prices for things like Common Projects Original Achilles Low sneakers so I can see if they actually drop.
• Setting a hard 'no buy' limit on my budget so I dont get caught up in the hype.
• Checking the shipping costs early because those can eat up any savings you find on a cheaper item. I am just hoping the codes actually work on the stuff I want this year. Last time everything in my cart was excluded and it was such a letdown.

From my last 2 Cyber Mondays on Yoox, I’d plan for extra codes around 20–30% off **selected** items, not true sitewide. Big designer shoes/coats (Prada, Saint Laurent, etc.) are usually excluded or only lightly discounted, but mid-tier/designer-adjacent brands get the full extra % and stack nicely on already reduced outlet prices. I’d add stuff to your wishlist now and watch for “extra 25% off” tags the weekend before – that’s where I’ve found the best value pairs of boots and wool coats.

Hey, so I’ve been tracking Yoox pretty nerdy‑close over the last 4–5 Black Friday/Cyber Monday cycles and a pattern kinda shows up if you look at it more “technical” than just vibes.

What usually matters more than the % in the banner is **which price layer** the item is in:

1. **Base markdown** (their regular outlet price)
2. **Extra discount bucket** (stuff they flag internally for extra 20–40%)
3. **Excluded brands** (often the big designers you’re after)

For shoes/coats, especially designer:
- The real “unicorn” deals are often **already heavily marked down** 1–2 weeks before Cyber Monday.
- The Cyber Monday code (like extra 20–30%) mostly hits **mid-tier brands or older seasons**. Prada/YSL/Gucci often sit in a protected list and either:
- Don’t get the extra code at all, or
- Only get a smaller extra (like 10–15%).

You might want to:
- **Add to wishlist** now and monitor price history (Yoox sometimes silently raises prices before big promos).
- Check if the item shows “**promo not valid on this item**” when you test an old code – that’s a good hint for Cyber Monday behavior.

If you’re very brand-specific, I’d be careful about waiting for a huge Cyber Monday cut… sizes vanish first, discounts second.

Hope this helps! If you say what brands you’re eyeing, I’d suggest how I’d play the timing.

Hey, so from a budget-first angle, I’d say: don’t count on Cyber Monday being automatically the *cheapest* moment on Yoox, especially for designer shoes and coats.

What I’ve noticed the last few years:
- Some Cyber Monday codes look big (extra 25–30%), but Yoox quietly bumps the “base” price up a bit beforehand. So the % sounds great but the final price isn’t always a steal.
- The real bargains are often mid-tier / less-hyped designers. Big names (Prada, YSL, etc.) either get excluded or only lightly discounted.

If you want to play it safe on cost:
- **Start a price log now**: screenshot or note current prices of the pieces/brands you want, then compare when the promo hits.
- **Set a hard budget per item** (e.g. “max $300 for boots, $400 for coat”) and stick to it, even if the code looks tempting.
- **Check final cost**: shipping, returns (some promo items aren’t returnable or only for credit). That can kill the “deal”.
- **Don’t ignore January**: I’ve often seen **better** prices in January clearance than on Cyber Monday for coats especially.

In my opinion, use Cyber Monday as a maybe-buy point, not a must-buy. If the price doesn’t beat your logged baseline, I’d wait.

Hope this helps!

Hey,

I totally get the hunt for shoes and coats on Yoox… it’s a rabbit hole 😅 From a kinda “market” angle (not super expert, just obsessed), I’d say what matters most is **which brands you’re targeting**, because Yoox treats them really differently.

Rough pattern I’ve seen:
- **Big luxury (Prada, Saint Laurent, Gucci, Burberry, etc.)** – usually *less* extra discount, often excluded or capped. You might see like 10–15% extra at best, and sometimes nothing on the really hyped stuff.
- **Secondary / diffusion lines (Michael Kors, Emporio Armani, Marc Jacobs, MM6, etc.)** – more likely to get those 20–30% extra codes applied.
- **In‑house / niche / older seasons** – these are the ones that suddenly hit 30–40% extra because Yoox is clearly trying to clear them out.

So I’d:
1. Make a wishlist by brand now.
2. During Cyber Monday, check which brands are actually in the promo banner / T&Cs.
3. Compare a couple of brands side‑by‑side (like Prada vs. “less hot” brands) to see where the real % off is.

I’d suggest not assuming a flat sitewide deal – it’s more like a brand tier system in disguise.

Hope this helps!

Hey!

Coming at this from a bit of a safety / reliability angle because I’ve kinda learned the hard way with Yoox sales 🙃

**My main tip:** don’t get blinded by the % off — double‑check what you’re actually buying *and* how protected you are.

Here’s what I always do now:

1. **Check final price history (safety from “fake deals”)**
If you’ve had stuff wishlisted for a while, open your wishlist and compare the current price with what it was 1–2 weeks before Cyber Monday. Yoox sometimes bumps the “full” price then shows a big % off. I’ve seen a coat end up basically the same price as mid‑November. So yeah, amazing discount number… not always a truly better deal.

2. **Watch out for non-returnable or “final sale” items**
This is huge for shoes & coats. During these big promos, more items quietly switch to *no returns*. I always check the returns line under the size selector before I get too excited. Designer shoes that don’t fit and can’t be returned = nightmare.

3. **Double-check authenticity & condition tags**
I’ve only had good experiences personally, but I still look for wording like “slight imperfections” or “vintage” in the description. For high-end coats, I zoom in like crazy on the photos to make sure stitching / labels look legit and not weird.

4. **Payment & shipping safety**
I stick to PayPal or a credit card (extra protection if something goes wrong with delivery or quality). Also, check your local Yoox site’s customs/fees info so you don’t get surprise charges that kill the “deal”.

So yeah, discount-wise you’ll probably see some 20–30% extra off like others said, but IMO the real win is making sure you’re protected on returns + not falling for inflated “original” prices.

Hope this helps! Feel free to ask if you’re eyeing specific brands / categories 🙂
