Every year, the SSENSE sale puts our willpower to the ultimate test. Despite our best intentions to budget better, we simply can’t resist the temptation of a good deal during sales season—especially if it means crossing a few gift ideas off the holiday list too. And if you're recovering retail therapy apologists like us, it’s hard to suppress the urge to splurge when you’re being offered a sweet home deal in return—especially if that deal means earning up to 60% off, which is exactly what SSENSE is offering right now as part of their end of year sale. Consider this a little treat to take the winter’s edge off! Watching the markdowns descend can feel like gambling as you wait for prices to drop while the items loaded in your cart are still in stock.
Before we dig into the good stuff, let’s break down how Canada-based SSENSE plays into the greater online shopping landscape. There are some places you zip to when you know exactly what you want. But then there are the special places you keep in your back pocket—the ones that constantly win you the title of “best gift giver,” time and time again. SSENSE falls into the second group. You could lose entire afternoons on SSENSE.com, digging through page after page of luxury fashion—they stock both women’s clothing and menswear—and adding to your wishlist. The labels are names known around the world: Acne Studios, Off-White, Nike, Adidas, Balmain, Ganni, Loewe, Balenciaga, Gucci, Maison Margiela, and Jacquemus to name just a few. There are just as many accessory options (don’t sleep on the wallets) and the sale items are a must-browse. But you have to hit that checkout pretty quick—items sell quickly and discounted prices are often only available for a limited time.
But don’t get too distracted by all the fashion-forward loafers, cargo pants, puffer jackets, and leather pants. For this year’s SSENSE sale, we picked 50 of the best items from the extremely well-curated “Everything Else” section (along with a few comfy articles of clothing) that are currently up for grabs, though the discount does apply to items sitewide—no promo code required. (A round of applause for Lori Legaspi-Moores, VP of Merchandising for Everything Else.) Trust us when we say that you won’t have buyer's remorse from taking advantage of any of these deals. While their clothes might run minimalist, their home goods tell an entirely different story. So what are you waiting for? Start scrolling!

Home Accent Deals
No matter what your aesthetic is, there is a home accent waiting for you at SSENSE. From trendy mirrors to designer wares, you will not be wanting for splurge worthy items in their sale section.
Kitchen and Tabletop Deals
The tabletop is where SSENSE’s Everything Else section really shines. They offer classic housewares like SMEG, Sabre, and Alessi, but they also get more experimental hand crafted ceramics and fine Italian glassware.
Soft Good Deals
The range of throw blankets and towels at SSENSE is something to behold. While they carry our perennial favorites, like Tekla and Dusen Dusen, you can find other treasures nestled in the mix of totes, beanies, hoodies, and cutout tops. They’re comfy, while not skimping on style at all.
Furniture
While fashion-forward clothes and maximalist small home accents comprise a lot of the SSENSE stock, the brand also sells a few larger furniture pieces. Like many of the other items we’ve already highlighted, these pieces bring lots of sculptural character you won’t find anywhere else.
Rugs
If you’re in the market for statement rugs for the reading nook in your apartment or in your bathroom, you’re sure to find something in the SSENSE sale—like a piece from the internet-famous brand Okej or even a new take on the smiley face. Each pick looks distinct, whether that’s thanks to a distinct shape or an intriguing design.
Loungewear
Everyone needs some comfy clothes in their wardrobe amid the chic leather jackets and sleek blazers, especially with the holidays fast approaching. So while you’re shopping for your New Year's Eve minidress or a new pair of straight-leg jeans, make sure to throw in a cozy new robe or some sets you can recline on the couch in.
Candles
While the candle sales at SSENSE aren’t pages and pages worth of scrolling fodder, when they do have in their assortment is quite good. The retailer offers a few scented candles from favorite brands like Jo Malone and D.S & Durga, though we’d also strongly recommend checking out their unique accent candles that lean into funky shapes and bright colors. They’ll certainly light up your room in more ways than one.
