Eight Sale Picks You Won’t Want To Miss

Words by The MR PORTER Team

5 July 2022

There are two great things about July. The first one is that summer is well underway – the days are long, temperatures are high and you can finally start counting down to whatever you have planned in the coming months. The second (but no less important) one is that you can now shop the long-awaited MR PORTER Sale at up to 70 per cent off.

Browsing through hundreds of items from the world’s top designers can be tricky, so we’ve done the groundwork and picked the pieces that are going straight to the top of our Wish List. Happy shopping.

The Elder Statesman exclusive cashmere sweater

Ever get carried away in a sale frenzy and end up buying an item only to later realise that you already have 20 near-identical pieces jostling for real estate in your wardrobe? Two-tone neon cashmere decorated with intarsia emojis, however, is no doubt underrepresented. Remedy that with this exclusive sweater by – who else? – The Elder Statesman.

The ruby and sapphire Bleue Burnham signet ring

“If I gave you diamonds and pearls, would you be a happy boy or a girl?” Prince and the New Power Generation once pondered. Rubies and sapphires mounted on 9-karat recycled gold, however, is guaranteed to elicit at minimum a beaming grin. A nod to the maximalist approach of gardener Ms Victoria Mary Sackville-West, apparently, the surface of this piece is entirely smothered with precious stones.

The gothic Vetements hoodie

A unicorn is usually portrayed as a horse-like creature with pearly, otherworldly coloured hair and a fascinating aura of surrealism. But you can trust Vetements to put an ironic spin on the mythological figure. Case in point, the gothic graphic on this cotton-blend jersey hoodie.

The gingham Jacquemus jacket

If you could associate any brand to the warmest season of the year, then Jacquemus would surely be it. Inspired by rural and coastal life, its designs are imbued with the laid-back spirit – and equally relaxed style – of the south of France. This Boulanger gingham jacket, which you can snap up at 40 per cent off in our Sale, is a great example.

The contrast-tipped Mr P. polo shirt

Summer is officially underway, so what better time to get your wardrobe ready for the warmer days ahead? A polo shirt like this cashmere and silk-blend style by our very own label Mr P. is a great place to start (particularly if you get to save 50 per cent on it).

The space-dyed Missoni cardigan

We all have those pieces that we’ve looked at time and time again, only to realise that they’re definitely over budget. Missoni’s cardigan, patterned with the house’s signature space dye, has long occupied a prime spot on our Wish List – we’ll make sure it doesn’t pass us (and you) by this time.

The limited edition Bremont chronograph

British watchmaker Bremont is going places, so don’t miss your chance to nab one of its early models, the ALT1-ZT, at a hefty discount. Boasting a chronograph function and an additional 24-hour GMT hand (known in the military as “Zulu Time”, hence the initials), this is an awful lot of watch for your money… and that’s before you take off 20 per cent.

The Brioni blouson jacket

When you’re shopping the Sale, the smart money is always on the big-ticket items. After all, higher price means bigger discount. Makes sense, right? Not only that, but choose wisely and you’ll get something that you’ll cherish for years to come. This elegant panelled suede jacket from Brioni is a case in point.
