J.Crew Email: Up to 50% off. Final sale. Online only.

"Thanks!" goes to many of you, including MissMasala, Marietta, love2shop4bags, & Heather:D, as well as Silver_Lining (in this post), who let us know about J.Crew's latest email.

J.Crew announced that their final sale online (click here) offers prices up to 50% off now.

To be honest, I was hoping to see a "% off final sale" email instead of this one. Oh well! A JCA can dream, right? ;) Unless there are some amazing deals, I plan on holding out for Fall's new arrivals (which look fabulous!)

Are you planning to purchase anything in the Final Sale? If so, what items are you planning to get? If not, what are the reasons behind your decision (e.g. nothing tempting to get, promo not enticing enough)?

  1. I didn't notice a change in prices!? Did anyone else? Maybe it's just the items that I have been "watching"?

  2. I didn't notice any price changes - I think it was just more of a final sale "reminder" than anything else, ha.

    Anybody tried the Maya cardigan yet? I'm totally curious! Also eyeing the Anton sweater, but saw that it was listed in the sweaters under Dream yarn, so that has me very apprehensive.

  3. I picked up the Aurora heels, which popped back earlier this morning. Otherwise, saving up for fall.... :-)

  4. Nothing looked any lower than it was two days ago. Bummer.

  5. I have seen a few people comment about the dream yarn--I don't own any dream sweaters, so I'm curious, what are the problems with it?

    ReplyDelete
  6. I didn't notice any lower prices either. I have a few items I'd like to get (that I've tried on already) as soon as there's an extra percent off (to help cover shipping).

  7. silver_lining: I bought the maya cardigan in charcoal...i really like it, a modern twist on a classic. Fits TTS and isn't super long like some of the other cardigans that are out right now. (great for me b/c i'm short!)

    HTH!

  9. I bought a couple of pop backs today, like the silk indigo top and space dyed cardiagn. I hope they work for me ;) Otherwise, I am holding out for all the fall arrivals.

    It seems like all the other stores are doing big friends and family discounts (e.g., 30% off at GAP, ON, BR, AT, ATL). I wish JC would do the same, or at least for the sale items.

    I was disappointed as well that the prices for the existing sale items also were not reduced further.

    Oh well...I hope another red card comes out for fall items.

  10. Newbie here! Could someone explain to me why some things show up in Final Sale and then are back to full price again (i.e. Classic Leather Belt and suede Juliet pumps in chalkboard)? I'm confused and annoyed:)

    ReplyDelete
  11. I'm still holding out for extra % off plus free shipping... If not, I'll save money for fall items.
    With all the great deals from other retailers I don't think this FS is all that lower in price.

  12. Can anyone tell me the name/number of the two tone dark jacket in the b&m. I saw it today in the Charleston store, but don't recall seeing it on the website.
    Thanks

  13. I was bummed that there really weren't any changes... I was hoping for some new pop backs or perhaps a % off! Too bad!

    I'll keep my eye out.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I was very excited to get this email but very disappointed to see nothing changed. Oh well. Out of curiosity has anyone else been bombarded by J.Crew ads on NYTimes.com?

    ReplyDelete
  15. I've got my eye on a couple of items but they weren't reduced any further. My cart overfloweth and even with a blanket %off promo I will need to pare it down. And it's not even the big fall rollout yet. Crazy.

    ReplyDelete
  16. When do you think the next % off cupon will be?

  17. Hi all,

    I guess I could be lazy & just say "Me Too" :}
    Didn't find anything with a better / more tempting price? Me too.
    Waiting for a better discount? Me too.
    Saving up for the fall clothes? Me too.

    Well, you get the idea....

    Oh & Roxy, me too! For some reason, whenever I log on to the NYTimes site I seem to get a lot of Jcrew banners. I must say, they seem rather indiscriminate. Yesterday I saw several (admittedly cute) adverts for crewcuts. I'm a DINK, so I never shop that part of the site. I don't think I'm dragging cookies over from jcrew, but I could be mistaken.

    Still looking forward to the fall season. Anyone out there hoping for another HOHOHO promo?

    Me too :}

    Heather:D

    P.S. Thanks for the props Alexis!

  18. I did not notice a price change and I have been watching several items - trousers, etc. I am VERY disappointed that there has not been a % off email and will definitely be holding out for that and new fall items.

  19. silver_lining: I bought the maya cardigan in dusty blossom. It's great cardi and I will also be getting this one in black and deep amber.I posted some photos on my "blog".

  20. I didn't notice any price changes in their sale items either. It's good to know I'm not the only crazy one that checks the website so often hahaha!

    I was wondering, does anyone know what Jcrew's sales/promotion patterns are, or if there is one at all? Do they do 20% off of sale items mid month or end of month (around paycheck time perhaps)? I have not seen a 15% off in a long time on like $150 or $175 order.

    Have you noticed? I was just curious.

    ReplyDelete
  21. LOL! I thought I was the *only* one who didn't notice any price changes. I thought for a minute that I was missing something.

    Heather:D: Thank *you* for sharing!!! :)

    ReplyDelete
  22. Thanks JW and SJC! It's such a pretty and different (read: no frayed chiffon bits) cardigan. :)

    ReplyDelete
  23. After reading the email I quickly checked the sale rack; but nothing new or discounted. I'll wait to spend money on some new fall items.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Does anyone have the Campo Tote? I think I'm about to give in and buy it.

    ReplyDelete
  25. No change in prices! That is false advertisement! Not buying into it. Saving my money for some fall goodies.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Susan- there was a review of the Campo on this blog in early July. Just type "Campo" into the search field and it should come up.

    Kate: I like the dream sweaters. I don't like them as much as cashmere, but I have a few dream sweaters and they hold up well. I ordered the Anton, but haven't rec'd it yet.

    No more final sale for me!! It is ridiculous that I can't return something that doesn't fit and is online only. its a waste of my time and money. I'd rather spand it on the new stuff.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Crewbie: Thank you, but I'm interested in the tote not the bag :)

    ReplyDelete
  28. Leader - I think you're talking about the professor blazer? If so, the style# is 17375.

    I have a pic here of the one I'm referring to.

  29. I think the "up to 50% off" wording means that some items in the sale are half of their original price and doesn't necessarily mean that there are new sale items or newly reduced prices. A little misleading if you're too busy rushing to the website to give it much thought! :)

    I picked up the metallic-dot fern bikini bottom to go with the bikini top I ordered a while back. Someone must have returned one they bought cause it had been sold out for a long time. I also grabbed a couple of $9.99 Tall XL t-shirts for my brother. He's 6'6" and they fit him so well.

  30. Does anyone know how long final sale lasts? As in, when will it finally go away? Ha ha.

    And if anyone's tried the Salina flats (item 95898), can you give me a heads up about how they fit? Are they true to size? Could I get away with going half a size down?

    ReplyDelete
  31. michaela-

    I love the Salina flats- I own a number of pairs of them. They definitely fit TTS- I would not size down or your feet will be squished! And they don't stretch, at least not in my experience.

  32. Arianna, sorry for the late reply. They got me with the Juliet too and I'm not a newbee ;-). It's a matter of color. It means that certain colors are on sale but when you clic on the icon they only show you those that are not (like the chalkboard and the black). If you go to the sale section, you'll find them under the shoes category (there are two colors on sale).
    Hope it helps ;-).

  33. I purchased the strapless sangle taffeta dress in black... but only because I'm to wear it in a wedding next month. I DID notice, however, that the price dropped $50 from $149 to its current $99 when the new email came out.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I thought about it but I just bought a bunch of clothes from the fall colection a week ago and I bought a belt, clutch, and skirt at my B&M store yesterday, so I have to be good and save my money for the winter collection...but I'll probably weaken and cave in to buying the professor blazer/jacket when it comes out.
