The Complete Black Friday Shopping Guide: Top Tips to Shop Cyber Week 2023

Get ready, we're about to dive into the shopping event of the year - Black Friday. You might have had a taste of the shopping frenzy on Prime Day, but now it's time for the main event. With Christmas wish lists growing longer, Black Friday is right around the corner. Whether you're a die-hard Black Friday fan or you'd rather avoid the chaos, we've got you covered with our Luxe Black Friday Shopping Guide.

For those unfamiliar with the shopping frenzy, let's break down Cyber Week 2023 and what you can expect.

What is Black Friday?

Black Friday originated in the US as a one-day shopping event after Thanksgiving. It has since become a global phenomenon, spanning the entire last weekend of November, and in some cases, extending for an entire week known as Cyber Week. It's the time when major brands offer their most significant discounts and deals of the year, so it's a shopping event you don't want to miss!

So, what is Cyber Monday?

In 2005, Cyber Monday was introduced to the mix to keep the Black Friday buzz alive. Aimed to encourage shoppers to make purchases online (oh, how times have changed), Cyber Monday has become a permanent fixture in the shopping calendar. As the majority of us shoppers now turn to online shopping (you won't find us in a queue), Cyber Monday gives retailers another opportunity to further discount items and provide special offers.

When is Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2023?

Black Friday falls on November 24, 2023, and continues through the weekend, concluding on Cyber Monday, which falls on November 27, 2023. Although these are the official dates, brands continue to offer early deals in the lead-up to the main event - Luxe Collective included. So keep an eye out from November 1st, onwards.

When will the Luxe Collective Black Friday sale start?

Is Black Friday Worth It?

Yes, if you want to save on your Christmas shopping or snag that special item you've had your eye on, Black Friday is definitely worth it. However, at Luxe Collective, we emphasize responsible shopping, taking into account your financial situation and overconsumption. If you can't afford to make a purchase, it's wise to refrain from overspending.

Now, let's get prepared. Here is our Luxe Black Friday Shopping Guide to help you make the most of Cyber Week.

1. Create a Wishlist

Luxe Collective is offering up to 40% off on selected items and a guaranteed 20% discount on all luxury items in our collection. Whether you're eyeing a Louis Vuitton Neverfull, Balenciaga Triple-S sneakers, or a beautiful Van Cleef & Arpels Alhambra bracelet, you'll save even more by shopping for preloved items on Black Friday.
