How does Archive Luxury verify luxury sale prices?

Every deal passes a three-gate verification pipeline before publishing. Gate one confirms the listed original price was the price the item actually sold for (not an inflated MSRP anchor). Gate two confirms the current sale price is live on the retailer's product page. Gate three confirms the deal is from an authorized retailer with current-allocation inventory, not pre-owned or gray-market. Prices are re-verified every 30 minutes against the retailer's own page.

Are these luxury markdowns real, or are they fake sales?

Every deal on Archive Luxury is a verified markdown from a retailer authorized by the brand. We programmatically reject fake sales — listings with fabricated MSRP anchors, chronic-clearance items that never sell at the 'was' price, and any markdown under 20%. The site publishes roughly 25% of the deals our scrapers find; the rest fail one of the three verification gates.

Does Archive Luxury take an affiliate commission?

Yes — Archive Luxury earns an affiliate commission when a reader clicks through and buys. The commission is paid by the retailer and does not change the price the buyer pays. We disclose this on every deal page and we do not surface deals based on commission tier — the three-gate verification is applied identically across retailers.

Which retailers does Archive Luxury monitor?

Archive Luxury monitors 33 authorized luxury retailers including Mytheresa, Net-a-Porter, MR PORTER, Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Fifth Avenue, The Webster, SSENSE, Yoox, Cettire, and others. Every deal is sourced from a retailer with current-allocation inventory directly from the brand or its authorized distributor. Pre-owned, gray-market, and unauthorized reseller listings are excluded.

When do luxury brands typically go on sale?

The two deepest luxury markdown windows are late January through February (fall/winter clearance) and late July through August (resort and pre-fall clearance). A smaller wave hits during the Black Friday and Cyber Monday window in late November. Heritage brands like Hermès, Bottega Veneta, and The Row discount least aggressively because they protect retail pricing to support resale value. Contemporary luxury brands discount more readily at season end.

How often does Archive Luxury update prices?

Live deal prices are re-verified against the retailer's own product page every 30 minutes. Promo codes are re-verified every 12 hours. When a listing is removed, the size or colorway sells out, or the price changes, the deal updates automatically within the next verification cycle. The 'last verified' timestamp on every deal page shows when the most recent verification ran.
