STARTING THIS FRIDAY! THE NORDSTROM ONE-OF-A-KIND ANNIVERSARY SALE
SEATTLE (July 17, 2017) – Leading fashion specialty retailer Nordstrom, Inc. announces its 2017 Anniversary Sale, launching this Friday, July 21 in the U.S. and Canada. The company’s biggest sale event of the year features brand-new arrivals at super-sale prices for two weeks only – prices go back up on August 7.
THOSE WHO KNOW, GO
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale originated in the 1960’s and is a one-of-a-kind sale – every July, the company brings in new styles from highly sought-after brands for men, women and kids. The retailer is committed to having a unique breadth of offering from accessible to luxury price points and the Anniversary Sale follows suit. It’s the ultimate sale with something for everyone in every category: clothing, shoes, handbags, accessories, home and beauty. The company hopes customers will experience a sense of discovery finding a new brand or item as they shop the sale.
Brands new to Anniversary Sale this year include Good American, Good Man Brand, Cinq a Sept, ATM Anthony Thomas Melillo and J. Crew, along with returning customer favorites like FRAME Denim, Rag & Bone, Current/Elliot, Elizabeth & James, Ashley Graham Lingerie, Nike, Stuart Weitzman and more. The Anniversary Sale also features merchandise from Topshop/Topman, Madewell and Charlotte Tilbury which are available exclusively at Nordstrom.
“We’re fortunate to have a terrific team of buyers who start working with our merchandise partners months before the Anniversary Sale begins,” said Scott Meden, Nordstrom Chief Marketing Officer. “Our partners know how important this annual event is to our customers, so we’re excited to be able to bring in a fantastic assortment of new styles at reduced prices that aren’t available anywhere else.”
