I just heard there will be Dior handbags in the sale this year!
And the SAs I’ve heard from are very pleased with the quality of the designer items this year. Not “made for the sale” quality as in years past, and good selection as well.

It’s sounding like it’s going to be a good one. I am disappointed that the lower 2 levels of Nordy Club were combined...I don’t think people who spend $2k/year should be lumped in with just cardholders. Maybe that’s just me though.

I’m soooo ready! Any previews of the previews? No leaks, lol

If your intel is true, that's great news! It's been tough for retail lately and it's discouraging to see so many sale items further discounted just a few weeks after the sale ends, so perhaps this is a way to get customers re-engergized about the sale.

Follow @roseknows on IG. She’s a Nordstrom SA and did a live last week with a few other SAs. At the very tail end of the live she talks about the Dior and the selection/quality and they give advice about shopping the sale.

I commented on the collapsing of the two bottom tiers a while back. Someone who spends up to $500 annually isn’t the same as someone who spends several thousand/year. But retail is struggling so they keep modifying these rewards programs so that perks are more difficult to earn.

Ehh...the only difference seems to be a higher alterations credit and the earlier NSALE shopping days. Nordstrom isn’t incentivizing anyone to spend more by making the tiers harder to climb... Anyone who might usually spend $1,500 could very well be incentivized to instead spend $2-2,500 to reach the next tier. But that same person would never dream of spending $5,000 to just get to one level above entry level. It just basically doesn’t reward anyone who spends up to $4,999. Someone who just opens a card to get access to the sale isn’t the same as someone who spends thousands a year, and they shouldn’t be treated as such.

At any rate, I have an appointment to shop and I can’t wait. Hoping it’s a good one this year, looking forward to shopping without a mask and all of that.

Did she mention anything else? I'm shocked to hear the brand Dior will be participating and SO SO SO excited!!!

Not that I heard but she said she will be making posts about the sale items and modeling then as it gets closer, I’m guessing once the preview starts.

Wow. DIOR?! I was sitting on the sidelines thinking I would not be getting much this year, but DIOR changes everything.

I think it bodes well for a good designer turnout...but in years past they’ve floated a very small number of designer bags that no one had access to (I think each store got 1)...I hope this isn’t that. I don’t think she would have mentioned it on IG if that were the case. Fingers crossed this is the year the NSALE goes back to its roots a bit.

I hear you. I'm an Icon member with an appointment the first morning of presale. Maybe I would be lucky enough to snag some of the super hard to get stuff... However, I am also borderline plus size, so they almost never have lots of clothing options for me. At least not in-store. I already pre-ordered a new ring from Bony Levy, and will be looking for Eileen Fisher, Vince, and Lafayette 148 NY for work wear. I also am always checking out the designer options. Will probably also check out Nili Lotan, Sea NY, and Samsoe for more casual stuff....which I really don't need.

I love and look forward to this sale every year!

I hope she doesn't mean Dior eyeshadow palettes and lipstick trios... LOL Beauty items would make more sense than a handbag but I'm still keeping my fingers crossed.

Haha! Oh gosh yes don’t get upset with me if this doesn’t turn out lol.

But I’m 99% sure she said “Dior Handbags” and she made a point of saying so. I believe she’s a very reputable SA...you can go watch the very end of that IG live I talked about and judge for yourself. Personally I’m not in the market but I still bemoan the missed opportunity with the Chloe Marcie tote from many moons ago...sigh.

I thought I found the video you were talking about, where they introduced the nordstrom6 but seemed to have missed them say the golden phrase. I'll look again later tonight. Either way, I'm excited to shop for things I don't need :)

Ahh actually @rosehayes was 1 of them in the video but the video on her account isn’t the one I was referring to. Another fashion blogger was hosting 3 of the 6 “Nordstrom 6” and now I’m scrambling to find the IG where I saw the video originally. I’ll come back once I find it.
