Anyone who has made a special trip to the Sawgrass outlets just to check out the bargains at Off 5th will be thrilled to know that Saks Fifth Avenue recently launched Off 5th’s first e-commerce site. The Saks Off 5th website, http://www.saksoff5th.com/, offers high-end luxury goods, including apparel, shoes, accessories and fine jewelry, at huge discounts in comparison to their retail prices. True bargain hunters can get their fix of all their favorite luxury brands, from Gucci to Prada, at a fraction of the original cost.

The Off 5th e-commerce site will make these discounted goods available for the first time to consumers that do not live close a brick-and-mortar location. The company hopes that the brand will attract new consumers to the luxury market, who may not have access to a local store or may not be able to afford full price for high-end goods.
E-commerce Exclusives
Even longtime devotees will want to check out the new e-commerce site. There will be some overlap between the store brands and the online marketplace, but there will also be brands that are exclusively available online. Shoppers looking for that one special piece will be able to search the website for items that have sold out in stores. Customers looking for a certain size can check the website as well. Items that are sold in limited quantities or only in certain locations will also be available on the website, making them available to more consumers. Many shoppers will be excited to see Salon Z, the Saks Fifth Avenue’s plus-size line of apparel, available online. This line is not available at retail Off 5th locations.
Outstanding Service
Yes, yes and yes.
Luxury brand shoppers expect a high-end shopping experience. Saks Fifth Avenue has sought to recreate the sleek, clean lines of the in-store experience with the user interface of the e-commerce site for Off 5th.The website is easy to use and is logically divided into categories and subcategories that simplify the shopping process. Customers can now shop at their convenience, day or night, without ever leaving their home. They also have access to customer service for returns, exchanges or questions.
Something for Everyone
The website is divided into five categories:
- Designers
- Women
- Men
- Clearance
- FashionFix
Within the Women’s and Men’s categories, you will find subcategories for all the items you have come to expect from Saks Fifth Avenue, including apparel, shoes, accessories, handbags and jewelry and watches. Shoppers can also peruse items by designer. The Clearance category is the best place to find rock-bottom deals. Off 5th offers the “More!” shopping reward card, which gives shoppers access to special discounts and offers in addition to the sizable discounts already offered. Joining the club is free.
Last, but not least, the FashionFix category offers flash sales and specials that mirror the in-store sale experience. There is usually a featured category, for example, men’s accessories or women’s shoes. Then there is an additional discount offered for a limited amount of time. The launch of Off 5th’s e-commerce site will be a welcome new shopping opportunity for bargainistas everywhere.
