It is less than a week to Black Friday, which marks the start of the Christmas shopping season in the United States. While most retailers have not released full sale details, here are some websites that are likely to have enticing deals.
1. Shopbop
The online retailer offers over 400 brands, such as 3.1 Phillip Lim, Giuseppe Zanotti, Oscar de la Renta, Michael Kors, Vita Fede, Etre Cecile and Karen Walker, for women. Many of these brands are not available in brick-and-mortar stores in Singapore.
The best part about Shopbop is the free express international delivery service.
Last year, it offered a discount of between 15 and 25 per cent depending on the size of purchase.
2. Overstock.com
It has started a countdown to Black Friday, so you can expect good things ahead.
The store carries everything from electronics to clothing, but it is known for its wide home furnishing selection. Sign up on the website to get information on Black Friday deals.

3. Asos
You will find over 850 labels, mostly mid-tier fashion brands, such as Cheap Monday, River Island, Mango and Warehouse, for both men and women.
It also has an in-house label called Asos that is trendy and affordable.
Black Friday deals will be released closer to next Friday, but the e-tailer is already offering an additional 25 per cent discount on certain sale items.
