Nordstrom devotees know summer is the best time of the year to score deep discounts at the department store. Unlike most major sales, Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale isn't just a way to get rid of last season's spillover—shoppers can find deals on brand-new items and made-for-the-sale kits across every category (clothing, shoes, luggage and bags, travel accessories, and home goods included). Whether you're new to the annual sale or look forward to it each year, here's everything you need to know about the 2023 shopping event, which runs through this Sunday, August 6, as well as our curated list of the best deals for travelers.

For select Nordstrom cardholders, the sale opened on July 11. Cardholders with “Icon” Nordy Club status had first dibs on the deals, with “Ambassadors” gaining access July 12 and “Influencers” joining the party on July 13. 

As of Monday, July 17, at 12:01 am ET, Nordstrom's 2023 Anniversary Sale opened up to the general public, and remains open through August 6. There are still plenty of deals to take advantage of, but to maximize your chances of scoring exactly what you want, start shopping ASAP.

Trusted luggage brands like Tumi and Béis are participating in the event, as well as beauty favorites like La Mer, Charlotte Tilbury, and Bobbi Brown. On the shoe and clothing front, you'll find deals from Sam Edelman, Birkenstock, Ugg, Cult Gaia, Nike, Barefoot Dreams, Vince, and Farm Rio. There are plenty of deals from Zella, Nordstrom's mega-popular in-house athleisure line, too.

If you're more of an in-store shopper, know that your closest Nordstrom likely has some events going on, from Glam-Up Days to a Happy Sips and Bites night. The same discounts are available in stores.

Nordstrom is often the place we turn to for comfortable basics that fit right into our travel uniform. During the Anniversary Sale, many of the department store's bestsellers are discounted, including Barefoot Dreams' super-soft cardigan and a Nordstrom-made cashmere sweater, both of which are great layering pieces for plane rides; plus, Spanx's ever-popular faux leather leggings. You can also find several pieces from Zella, Nordstrom's in-house athleisure brand, on sale; beyond the joggers and leggings below, the line's popular high-waist workout leggings and summer-friendly bike shorts are marked down, too.
