These 18 Designer Brands Are Rarely Marked Down — but They Are at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

You can't get any more timeless than a pair of Ray-Bay sunglasses ($136, originally $203), especially in the brand's iconic round silhouette.

Lightweight, spacious, and sleek — Longchamp's Le Pliage tote ($355, originally $530) is wildly popular for travel and everyday use alike. This leather version is an upgrade on the standard nylon and will last you years.

Alexander Wang is the king of edgy but still wearable designs, and these patent-leather sandals ($297, originally $494) are no exception. The minimal, ankle-strap design in the front gives way to his signature spliced, metal-accented block heel in the back.

A ribbed sweater dress ($596, originally $890) is a wardrobe staple for colder months. This one combines all the most luxurious textures for Fall and features sporty stripes for a bold effect.

Classic timepieces, like this Nixon mesh-strap watch ($133, originally $200), are rarely marked down. This one combines the brand's signature minimalist design with an on-trend rose gold hue for an everyday accessory you'll wear for years.

Known for creating top-of-the-line wool, down, and leather jackets and coats, Mackage outerwear pieces are warm and stylish. Invest in a water-repellent down jacket ($460, originally $690) now, thank us in Winter.

Clare V. creates luxe handbags with an effortless French girl twist — it's no wonder the style set can't get enough of her pieces. This suede bag ($310, originally $465) is like an elevated take on the classic market tote.

Diptyque products are ALWAYS full price. Take advantage of this exclusive beauty set ($72, value of $105), which contains a candle and matching eau de toilette version of the brand's most popular floral scents.

Tibi is a favorite among the street style crowd for its fresh and modern take on classic tailoring. This menswear-inspired plaid blazer ($398, originally $595) will feel just as current now as it will seasons from now.

While you can frequently find denim on sale, it's rare to find a brand's signature style marked down. Mother's popular The Insider jeans ($152, originally $228) feature a cropped flare silhouette and frayed step hems for a cool twist.

Black leather ankle boots ($360, originally $535) from It shoe brand Stuart Weitzman are a classic staple that work year-round. With a sleek, pointy toe and sculptural block heel, this luxe pair will be your new go-to.

Instantly elevate even the most basic of outfits with a pair of Gucci sunglasses ($268, originally $400). While the designer brand is known for creating over-the-top accessories, this neutral, oversize pair is versatile and timeless but still brings that luxurious touch.

Now is the chance to treat yourself to one of Self-Portrait's intricate, feminine designs. This minidress ($375, originally $560) features romantic tiers of pale blue lace that you'll look forward to slipping on for any special occasion — or just because.

An MCM logo leather backpack ($500, originally $795) is the ultimate luxury. The monochrome design and pretty pale pink hue are a more subtle take on the brand's usual high-contrast look but still instantly recognizable.

In our opinion, the best designer clothing pieces are the ones that are wearable enough to seamlessly integrate into your everyday wardrobe but a step above your usual basics due to standout details. This navy midi skirt ($365, originally $550) serves the same purpose as your go-to neutral bottoms but adds movement and interest to your look thanks to the asymmetrical ruffle hem and polka-dot print.

Monica Vinader's signature chain bracelet ($196, originally $295) is an elegant spin on everyday jewelry. Wear it alone for subtle shine or stacked for maximum impact.

Celebrity-loved brand L'Agence is known for creating elevated staples with luxurious textures. A pair of coated skinny jeans ($184, originally $275) will add some edge to your cold-weather wardrobe.

Pendleton is iconic when it comes to classic Winter gear with a slightly rustic twist. Invest in this rain jacket ($117, originally $175) featuring the brand's signature striped lining to stay dry and look sophisticated during the wet season.
