Yes, Black Friday originated as a US tradition. The Friday after Thanksgiving where US brands and retailers offered substantial discounts on their offerings. But it's now so much more than an American event. Because of the sheer size of this sale event - and of course, the internet - Black Friday has spread internationally, including us here in Australia. The offers that appear will almost seem too good to be true... almost.

Black Friday sales can often feel like an invitation to over consume, leaving us with impulse buys that rarely see the light of day. Instead, our MO is to use Black Friday as an opportunity to thoughtfully purchase timeless pieces that have taken up space in your wish list for months. Discounts can allow us to access better quality pieces and curate a wardrobe where every single piece is special – and ultimately wearable. From established online retailers to smaller, more independently-owned brands, you'll be sure to find something meaningful to add to your wardrobe, especially with summer afoot.

Our picks? Thoughtfully curated items you’ll turn to again and again — now at a discount. Not in the mood for fashion? Don't despair, scroll on to find a range of selects that include homewares, jewellery and beauty alongside some fashion favourites.

Without further ado, enjoy our edit below of Black Friday selects from the brands we love. Our you can browse our favourite sales.
