Michael Kors’ own sale is a chance to dip into the brand’s core accessories and ready-to-wear lines for less, from logo-heavy staples to cleaner, more understated pieces. It sits in that “accessible luxury” bracket, competing with the likes of Coach and Kate Spade for everyday bags, watches and leather goods that look polished without going fully designer.

What’s worth focusing on in this sale?

Start with the leather bags and small leather goods, as material and hardware tend to matter more than seasonal colourways. A satchel or crossbody in pebbled leather usually wears better than smoother finishes, and structured shapes hold their look longer if you’re using them daily. Watches can be good value too, but it’s worth checking case size and strap type so it doesn’t end up sitting in a drawer.

• Bags: look for leather (not just coated canvas) and sturdy zips/clasps
• SLGs: check card capacity and coin section layout before buying
• Watches: confirm case diameter and strap material for comfort
