Nordstrom Rack Clear the Rack — extra 25% off, public now through May 25

Nordstrom Rack (Nordstrom's off-price division, 240+ US and Canadian locations) opened its Clear the Rack sale to the general public today. 1 Nordy Club members (Nordstrom's free loyalty program) had early access from May 21.
  • Discount: extra 25% off all red-tag clearance items, stacking on everyday Rack clearance that already runs items up to 80% off 1
  • Products: women's and men's clothing, shoes, bags, accessories — clearance items across all categories
  • Access: public, no code required — shop at nordstromrack.com or in-store; Nordy Club enrollment is free at nordstrom.com
  • Dates: May 22–25; all sales are final (no returns or exchanges)

Saks Fifth Avenue Designer Sale — upgraded to up to 50% off

Saks Fifth Avenue's (New York-based luxury department store, 40+ US locations and saksfifthavenue.com) Designer Sale upgraded overnight. Three independent sources confirmed the ceiling moved from 40% to 50% off. 2 3 A styling advisor on Instagram specifically called out Valentino, Gabriela Hearst, and Bottega Veneta as top picks at the new depth. 2
  • Discount: up to 50% off (three-source confirmation); a note from a "60% off" figure circulating in some affiliate blogs — that figure comes from a single low-reliability source and is not corroborated
  • Code: SAKSSALE — reported active by user submissions on SimplyCodes as of May 19; stacks on sale prices for an additional 40% off select items 4
  • Access: saksfifthavenue.com; account login required at checkout
  • Featured brands (per advisor picks): Valentino, Gabriela Hearst, Bottega Veneta 2
  • Note: Saks's official site is currently blocking direct verification tools; the 50% depth is confirmed via second-hand sources only

Neiman Marcus Designer Sale — upgraded to up to 50% off, tiered

Neiman Marcus (Dallas-based luxury department store, 36 US locations and neimanmarcus.com) confirmed a similar upgrade overnight. A Neiman Marcus sales associate explained the structure directly: "We are at up to 50% off, meaning some is 40, some is 50, it depends." 5 Multiple deal-tracking sources also list NM at up to 50% off. 3
  • Discount: tiered — 40% off on some categories, 50% off on others; specific items vary
  • Brands confirmed in sale context: Christian Louboutin, Dolce & Gabbana, Alaïa (per SA posts)
  • Code: NMSALE code status not independently confirmed in this window
  • Access: neimanmarcus.com; direct site verification blocked by anti-crawl protections

Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale — new designer clearance zone added

NET-A-PORTER Memorial Day Sale — up to 50% off, public; delivery delay risk

NET-A-PORTER's (UK-based authorized multi-brand luxury retailer, ships to 170+ countries) Memorial Day sale remains public at up to 50% off, unchanged. 8
One active logistics issue: the UK Strike Action Calendar listed NET-A-PORTER as still taking industrial action on May 22 — potentially a third day beyond the originally planned May 20–21 window. 9 The strike involves approximately 100 GMB union distribution workers at NET-A-PORTER's Charlton warehouse in London, in a dispute over the London Living Wage of £14.80 per hour. 10 GMB regional organizer Craig Prickett said: "Industrial action is always a last resort and a cry for help." 10 No resolution announcement has been published as of this writing.
Whether the strike extends to a third day or was resolved overnight is not yet independently confirmed. If you are placing an order for Memorial Day weekend delivery, factor in a possible one-to-two day delay.
