Yes, folks, with just 6 days before Christmas, Net-A-Porter has kicked off their annual year-end sale with discounts of up to 50% off. Admittedly, because it isn’t exactly an end-of-season sale, pickings are slim, but there are still gems to be found if you look hard enough. From Junya Watanabe’s classic square leather tote that’s now 50% off (was GBP685, now GBP343) to a leather shoulder number from Victoria Beckham that’s just GBP1317 after 40% off, there are definitely deals to be had, especially if you stick to the classic leather pieces particularly if they come in Black, because these will be the bags you’ll be using over and over.

At the other end of the spectrum, there’s fun, fun and even more fun in the form of whimsical clutches from the likes of Charlotte Olympia, Olympia Le-Tan and Sophia Webster, along with fun accessories (and great stocking stuffers too, if I might add) in the form of leather stickers (a huge assortment is available) from Anya Hindmarch, Moschino iPhone cases and other bits and bobs like mini coin cases and bag charms.

And if you shop now, you (or your loved one) might still be able to get a surprise on their doorstep come Christmas Day, but seriously folks, you’ll have to start shopping now. Like stat. #happyshopping
