Overview
- Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale, which opened to the public on Saturday, July 18, runs through August 9 after tiered early access for Nordy Club members.
- The sale includes unusually deep markdowns on luxury handbags with many reductions of $500 or more and select styles approaching $1,500 off.
- Editors and readers report shoes and popular wardrobe staples are selling out fastest, prompting advice to wishlist items and checkout quickly to secure sizes and colors.
- Beauty and skincare sets offer strong value but experts warn to avoid bundles that include sample items you will not use because those reduce the set’s practical worth.
- Parents and registrants can find major savings on kids’ and baby gear — some items up to about 50% off — and the high demand plus limited restocks may push shoppers toward resale markets or quick, decisive buys.
