Gilt’s Black Friday 2025 Sale – What to Expect & When

Leave a comment

If you’re wondering what to expect from Gilt’s Black Friday 2025 sale, when it will likely happen, what types of discounts you might see, and which brands or products could show up, here’s a full breakdown based on past years, current trends, and what’s been typical with their sales.

When the Gilt Black Friday 2025 Sale Will Likely Start

Gilt doesn’t usually roll out an extended Black Friday event like many other retailers. Their major Black Friday deals are typically live on Black Friday itself, which this year falls on November 28, 2025. In previous years, Gilt has opened the sale early in the morning and ended it at midnight, with some “doorbuster” types of deals available for just a few hours or while supplies lasted.

If you’re planning to shop, the best strategy is to check the Gilt site early that Friday and keep an eye out for flash deals or categories marked “limited time.” Based on past years, there could also be a few teaser sales earlier in the week, but the biggest markdowns and exclusive one-day offers are usually saved for Black Friday only.

What Kind of Discounts to Expect in 2025

Gilt is known for offering up to 70% off designer and luxury labels, and Black Friday is one of the few times a year when the discounts go even further than that. Based on last year’s sale, you can expect up to 70% off select designer items, and an additional 25% off across hundreds of other items using a promo code at checkout.

Here’s a breakdown of the types of discounts that have been typical during Gilt’s Black Friday sale:

  • Apparel: Up to 55% to 70% off on designer clothing.

  • Shoes and Handbags: Generally 50% to 65% off, with an extra 20%-25% off on select pieces.

  • Beauty and Fragrance: Specific sets (like perfume kits) can be marked down heavily, up to 40%-50% off.

  • Cashmere and Cold Weather Styles: Some markdowns start at around 40% off, with sale prices from $79.

  • Luxury Accessories: Watches, jewelry, and designer eyewear are often up to 60% off.

Examples from Last Year’s Sale

Looking at Gilt’s 2024 Black Friday sale gives a pretty good idea of what might return or repeat in 2025. Here are some specific examples from last year:

  • Gucci Bloom Perfume Set: On sale for $99.99, which was $81.01 off MSRP. That was one of the most clicked beauty deals on the site.

  • Cashmere Styles: Starting at $79. These included sweaters, scarves, and pullovers, mostly from Gilt-exclusive or lesser-known boutique brands.

  • Alice + Olivia: Items marked down by up to 55%. This included dresses, coats, and holiday party styles.

  • Longchamp, Tiffany & Fred: Select styles were up to 70% off, which was unusually high for these brands.

  • Extra 25% Off: There was a promo code applied at checkout that knocked off an additional 25% across hundreds of items, including categories like designer shoes, bags, outerwear, and select home goods.

These deals were only available on Black Friday, and many of them sold out fast—especially anything with a major designer label attached.

What Probably Won’t Be on Sale

There are some limitations to Gilt’s Black Friday sale that are worth keeping in mind. Not all items sitewide are discounted, and some luxury brands may have limited or no markdowns at all. For example:

  • New arrivals might not be included in the discount.

  • Super high-end luxury brands like Chanel or Louis Vuitton are generally not listed or not heavily marked down.

  • Home decor and furniture tend to have a smaller presence during Black Friday—those are more common in Gilt’s seasonal “Home” events.
