Designer department store Selfridges’s summer sale is in full swing, offering up to 50 per cent off women’s, men’s, shoes bags, kids, home and tech.

It’s the perfect time to get shopping if you like your big name brands like Givenchy, Acne and Prada but aren't a fan of the hefty price tags that come attached.

Rather than panic-buy a basket of bargains, look at what you need, whether it’s a new handbag that will last you years, timeless jewellery pieces or a pair of trainers that you can wear with everything.

To save you trawling the website yourself looking for a great deal, we’ve done the hard work for you, handpicking the biggest and best deals to shop now.

You can trust our independent round-ups. We may earn commission from some of the retailers, but we never allow this to influence selections, which are formed from real-world testing and expert advice. This revenue helps us to fund journalism across The Independent.
