October Prime Day’s 35 Best Designer Deals — Coach, Ugg, Tory Burch, Mother Denim, and More from $15

After scrolling through hundreds of pages of Amazon Prime Big Deal Days discounts (yes, my tabs were out of control), I discovered the designer gems: easy-to-style, classic pieces you’ll actually wear again and again. This year’s October Prime Day started today, October 7 and continues through Wednesday, October 8. This unofficial launch of the holiday shopping season is taking up to 60 percent off top designers and luxury beauty brands. Discounts on premium labels still count as investments, so I focused on picks that are timeless, effortless, and actually worth investing in. From celeb-loved Mother denim to forever-in-style cashmere and Coach bags, these are the designer deals that stand out. Best Amazon Prime Day Designer Deals Overall Celeb-Worn Brand: Mother Patch Pocket Maven Ankle Jeans, $188 (orig. $268) 44% Off: Vince Women's Boiled Funnel Neck Pullover in Camel, $240 (orig. $425) Ugg Classic Ultra Mini New Heights Boots, $63–$140 (orig. $170) Coach Emilia Mary Jane Flats, $90 (orig. $150) Coach Willow Tote, $245–$318 (orig. $350) Ray-Ban Blaze Wayfarer Square Sunglasses, $109 (orig. $218) Preppy Trend: Veronica Beard Lanier Dress, $209 (orig. $348) Editor-Loved: Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask, $17 (orig. $24) Mary Jane flats, comfortable jeans, and high-quality basics — the best designer deals right now hit that sweet spot between trendy and timeless. Whether you’re eyeing cozy Ugg boots or a classic Coach tote, October Prime Day is the perfect time to score premium labels without paying full price. Best Amazon Designer Clothing Deals These designer capsule wardrobe staples include layer-ready tops like a Free People tank top, a Madewell tee, and a 100 percent cashmere sweater. Slip a knit cardigan over a preppy Veronica Beard dress for a night out, or pair comfy jeans with a blazer for a day at the office. Celeb-Worn Brand: Mother Patch Pocket Maven Ankle Jeans, $188 (orig. $268) 100% Cashmere: Vince Boiled Funnel Neck Pullover, $240 (orig. $425) Free People Hit The Slopes Jacket, $95 (orig. $148) Madewell Northside V-Neck Tee, $15 (orig. $24) Vince Camuto Pointelle Cardigan, $66 (orig. $100) Frame Le Slim Palazzo Jeans, $145 (orig. $278) Calvin Klein Lux Blazer, $74 (orig. $129) Veronica Beard Lanier Dress, $209 (orig. $348) 60% Off: Free People Henley Tank Top, $19 (orig. $48) Fall Dress: Free People Meet Again Midi Dress, $180 (orig. $300) Mother Patch Pocket Maven Ankle Jeans I rarely come across the Meghan Markle-worn denim brand Mother on sale, but this mid-rise pair is $80 off for Prime Big Deal Days. The Maven ankle jeans have a soft feel with a little bit of stretch, a cropped wide-leg cut, and patch pockets that give them a modern, utility-inspired edge. Vince Boiled Funnel Neck Pullover Few pieces are more timeless than a cashmere sweater — and Vince is one of the most luxurious labels you can score on Amazon. This funnel-neck pullover is made from 100 percent cashmere, with a soft, lightweight feel and plenty of warmth. It’s a smart investment piece you’ll wear on repeat, whether layered under a coat for the office or paired with jeans or leggings on the weekend. Best Amazon Designer Shoe Deals October Prime Day includes can’t-miss sales on celeb-worn Veja sneakers and classic fall boots. Certain Ugg styles are down to just $92, while Tory Burch loafers and Stuart Weitzman boots are almost half-off. These are the designer shoes you won’t regret stepping into.

They’re so practical, too: One shopper said these shoes kept their feet warm even while walking through snow. Uggs are an easy-to-style brand that works with leggings, jeans, and loungewear, according to celebrities. Veja Volley Sneakers Veja sneakers are a clear celebrity favorite. Reese Witherspoon, Scarlett Johansson, and Oprah Winfrey have all worn the eco-friendly sneakers. Certain colors and sizes of the classic Volley style are nearly $50 off today. A reviewer called them “perfect travel sneakers,” adding that the lightweight shoes are “easy to pair” with several outfits. Best Amazon Designer Accessory Deals If you’re going to splurge during Prime Big Deal Days, accessories are where you’ll get the most bling for your buck.

It’s a classic investment piece that blends timeless design with everyday practicality.

Senior writer Clara McMahon adds that its “ultra-rich formula instantly nourishes” her lips, so much so that she uses it throughout the day.
