    Okay, so your bank account somehow survived this year's round of Black Friday sales and your holiday shopping list. It sounds, to me at least, like you could use a little end-of-year pick-me-up. Enter: the discounted designer finds in Nordstrom's Half-Yearly Sale.

    To end 2025 on a stylish note, the retailer is marking down some of its best inventory. The sale kicked off on December 19, leaving dozens of designer bags, shoes, and more at up to 60 percent off. The sale will continue through January 5, bringing discounted luxury gifts right to your front door.

    Now that you've got all the details, it's time for some shopping. Peruse the best sale items from brands like Coach, Mansur Gavriel, JW Anderson, and Toteme—and everything I found costs less than $1,000 after the discounts.
