I just recently discovered a great site for designer bargins – One Kings Lane!
The philosophy at One Kings Lane is certainly one that I share, and the whole basis of FrugalDesignGirl.com:
-
“…living well should be an affordable reality.”
While founders Susan Feldman and Alison Gelb Pincus were living in Manhattan, they loved attending private sample sales. After moving to the West Coast, they realized a void of “shopping destinations that offered the remarkable deals of a sample sale, but with top quality, curated goods (no need to dig for great finds!)” which could be “accessed from the convenience of home (or the office).”
-
So, they created One Kings Lane as a members-only site offering designer home décor products and accessories at prices up to 70% off retail. (Membership is free.)
The site is somewhat limiting – only a few lines are offered at one time – but the deals are definitely to be had! For instance this Mirror Image Linen Khaki Sea Fan wall decoration retails at $235. One Kings Lane is offering it at $109.

You have to check back frequently, as offerings change and sales are slotted to begin on different days and times. There is, however, a calendar so that you are privy to up-coming deals.
There is also a FANTASTIC section on the site dedicated to interviews with both seasoned and up-and-coming designers. The interviews offer photos of the designer’s work as well as their personal designer tips!
One Kings Lane is definitely worth perusing. Talk about inspiration!
