Nordstrom Rack’s Best-Kept Secret Sale Is Back For Labor Day

In a sea of predictable sale holidays, few genuinely exciting events stand out for savvy sale-hunters — and one of those hallowed markdowns is Nordstrom Rack’s Clear the Rack sale, where the off-price retailer chops an extra 25% off its already deeply discounted clearance section.

Like Nordstrom Rack itself, the event is full of surprises; cropping up periodically with little advance notice and teeming with buyable bargains from beloved in-house brands like BP. and Z by Zella, respected standbys like Madewell, Nike, Steve Madden, and a slew of designer brands that prefer their discounted duds keep a low profile. Ahead, we’re answering all your burning questions about the sale (which ends September 4) and rounding up the need-to-cart goods to consider.

Much of the fashion, beauty, home goods, and tech accessories that have trickled down from Seattle-based retailer’s inventory to the discount floor will be available on ultra-sale in the coming days. If you can find it at Nordstrom, chances are you can find it at Nordstrom Rack.

While the event isn’t by any means a flash in the pan, blink and you will miss it — the sale, which started August 31, ends September 4.

Everything in the shop’s last-chance clearance section is marked down an additional 25% during the limited-time sale. Some of our favorite best-of-the-best deals this sale has to offer can be found below — simply keep on reading.
