GILT GROUPE: EXPLAINED & HOW YOU CAN JOIN

Gilt Groupe is an online shopping website that offers members instant access to exclusive designer labels. The merchandise, such as clothing, handbags, home furnishings, jewelry, food, travel, etc., is offered at up to 60% off retail. In 2009, FastCompany called it the "darling of luxury-obsessed bargain hunters." and you can definitely find some great bargains too! They were even featured on ABC's early morning TV show, Good Morning America; now how cool is that!


Here are some of the requirements / details for accessing the website:
  • You must be a member to view the sales and to shop the website.
  • All sales will be available only on www.gilt.com.
  • There are no monthly fees, nor is there any cost for you to sign up and/or join either.
  • New sales typically start at Noon EST, but have been offered as late as 9PM EST as well.
  • The sales usually last either 24-36 hours or 36-48 hours.
  • You will receive a preview e-mail announcing the start of the day's sales shortly before the sale starts.
  • All orders are taken on a first come, first-served basis.
  • In the event a popular item becomes unavailable, sometimes you are given the option to waitlist the item.
If you are still unsure, that is okay, because I was at first too. Now I am constantly buying from their website. These are just some of the items that I have personally purchased from the Gilt Groupe website:

In addition to the above items, I really wanted some of the Bobbi Brown eyeshadows but I decided to hold off on those for now and mainly focus on building up my blush collection.
