Everyone knows that feeling when you're so fixated on sourcing a certain item that you'll go down just about any internet rabbit hole to find what you're looking for. For me, that usually means a pair of Prada runway shoes I can't get my mind off of or a viral Khaite item that's impossible to find in stock anywhere. As soon as I decide that I don't just want but need the object of my obsession, I'll find myself in highly specific corners of the internet to hunt it down. Random Italian wholesalers, sample-sale websites, Japanese eBay sellers… You name it—I've probably been on it.
Well, you're in luck because I'm leaking some of my sources for shopping current-season designer at a discount. Normally, I'd keep these close to the chest, but I'm feeling generous. Today, I thought I'd divulge my top three sites—Bessette, Cettire, and Italist—and take it one step further by showing you everything that's currently in my shopping cart at each. Below, dive into this list of discounted designer items from across the internet, from a pair of new-season Prada flats to *that* viral Toteme camel coat to my dream Jil Sander bag. Shop now, and thank me later.
Italist
This bag is sold out on countless sites but somehow in stock here. Now, that's what I call a fashion miracle.
It's viral for a reason.
I haven't stopped thinking about them since I tried them on in store.
I mean, I think this needs no explanation.
Just wait until you see the back.
Yep, slippers are trending now that Kendall Jenner and Laura Harrier are wearing them with jeans and leggings.
One of my latest handbag obsessions.
You'll always find the best deals when shopping out of season.
Instant outfit upgrade.
Sleek and minimal and everything I want in my loafers in 2025.
Cettire
I always know it's going to be a good haul when it starts off with the most popular It bag of the moment at a nearly $2K price cut.
The one S/S 25 Prada piece I'm most fixated on.
These remain high on my wish list season after season.
Everyone is talking about this specific bag shape at the moment.
So elegant!
An iconic basic at a frankly iconic price point (all things considered).
There are suede bags, and then there's the Ferragamo Hug in suede.
Anything in Gucci Rosso, please and thank you.
She's adorable.
This is an unheard-of price for Loro Piana—let alone for a cloche hat that's trending among all the minimalists.
Everyday elegance.
Bessette
Yum.
Super chic.
One of the first pieces that put Toteme on the map.
The very first piece on this list that made it into my cart.
Now to decide between the bicolor and the all black…
Calling it now: Cinch-waist jackets are *the* trend to know for spring.
Who doesn't love a good pair of Khaite flats?
This Scandinavian brand is having a moment right now.
Timeless with a twist.
Everyone is carrying suede bags these days, but this style feels like it has the most longevity.
A truly can't-go-wrong find.
The It print of the season.
I got endless DMs when I wore this dress on vacation last summer. I rented it at the time (sigh), but I think this is my sign to purchase it for real.
This is one brand I'm always typing into the search bar.
