As you heard in our last blog, BrandAlley’s approach to Black Friday is a little different to the rest. Not only do we treat you to an unbeatable Black Friday sale on 25th November, we have a huge preview sale – the Sale Before the Sale – and we’re offering 20% off site-wide today only with code GOT-IT-20.

Now, we know how many options there are on BrandAlley, so you may be wondering where to start. To help you find the designer deal of your dreams, we asked our Buying Team what they think you should treat yourself to today and why. They’re the experts, after all!

“If there’s one piece of clothing to buy this Black Friday, it’s this wool-and-cashmere round neck. It’s my absolute go-to! I like to pair it with leather culottes for the office and then team it with leggings, chunky socks and trainers on chilled weekends.”

“This L’OCCITANE oil is the perfect product for winter, when my skin needs a little extra care! It’s formulated with 10% of lipid-rich Shea oil which gently cleanses the body and softens even the driest skin. The fragrance is beautiful, (but not overpowering) and a little goes a long way!”

“As BrandAlley’s Kitchen & Dining Buyer, this time of year is the best as I love to entertain! Although I don’t mind a bit of ‘mixing and matching’, my cutlery collection is definitely one that needs updating – so I’ve been waiting for Black Friday to indulge! If, like myself, your cutlery drawer is a mix of old pieces from the uni days, and cheap “we’re-running-out-of-forks” sets, then I’d recommend treating yourself to this cutlery box from Sophie Conran. It includes dessert knives and forks, soup spoons, pastry forks, serving spoons and even a cheese knife – as well as your standard table knives, forks and spoons. To make things even better – it comes with a 50-year guarantee!”
