An international e-retailer that’s based in Montreal, we love SSENSE as it offers niche labels such as Alighieri, SJYP (Steve J. and Yoni P.) and Totême. Last year, they offered up to 50 per cent off on a wide selection of items, from apparel to accessories.
Street-wear lovers are going to love the deals here. It’s here where one can get beloved kicks such as Balenciaga Triple S sneakers at a discount!
Shipping to Singapore is free for orders above ($415), otherwise, you’ll be charged ($35) for delivery. So check out a few more items to fully enjoy the freebie.

13. Farfetch

Last year, luxury online retailer Farfetch offered 30 – 50 per cent off on Black Friday so we think it might be similar this year. (We’re still awaiting updates though they have already teased an upcoming sale.)
Here’s where you can get your hands on coveted items from brands such as Gucci and Givenchy. What we like about this store is that the prices indicated on the website are in Singapore Dollars, so you’ll know exactly how much you’re paying.
Just make sure you select the Singapore flag for Delivery Country (located on the top left of the page). Shipping is only calculated at check-out. However, if your orders are above $215, they offer a flat delivery fee (shown only at checkout) regardless of the number of items you’ve ordered.
When: estimated date, Nov 27, 2020
14. Shopbop

Shopbop’s Black Friday deals work differently from the rest. And while they have yet to drop the deal on their Black Friday sale this year, we think it might be a little similar to last year’s.
Instead of providing straight-up sales, they offer discounts when you hit a certain amount. Just key in the promo code they have provided and you’ll get to enjoy savings. To give you an indication of what it might be like this year, here’s their previous promotion:
- 20 per cent off — ($276) to ($690)
- 25 per cent off — ($691) to ($1,104)
- 30 per cent off — ($1,105) and above
Shopbop carries contemporary brands such as Blank Denim, A.P.C. and Tibi, so you can take the opportunity to stock up on casual basics or work wear.
Their code only works once, so it’s best to gather a few friends’ orders before making a purchase to enjoy the 30 per cent deal. Also, you’ll get to enjoy free shipping for orders above US$100 (S$138). In a nutshell: The more you shop, the more you save.
