*SALE HUNT* Major Discounts on Balmain

Last year's biggest designer collaboration would have to be Balmain's flashy and flamboyant collection with H&M. With some items from the collab surpassing the $600 mark, it was the most expensive collection H&M has ever done with a high profile fashion brand. But despite crazy prices, nearly everything sold out within hours after the launch--leaving many shoppers feeling left out. Well, if this sounds like you and you still have Balmain fever lingering around inside your head, there are several places you can look right now to find discounts on the real deal. In some cases, you'll be surprised to know prices are actually lower than H&M prices.

Starting with luxury online retailer Net-A-Porter and its sister site The Outnet, you'll be able to score discounts of 40%~80% off on Balmain. For instance, this black off-the-shoulder dress is now $1,276 (originally $3,190) while these stretch-jersey flared pants are $473 (originally $1,575) at Net-A-Porter. I also came across moto-style distressed skinny jeans marked down to $630 (originally $1,575), a black and red striped top for $566 (originally $1,415), and a wool turtleneck sweater for $383 (originally $765). The Outnet's Balmain selection includes pink skinny jeans for $465 (originally $1,550), a chevron sweater for $917 (originally $2,620), and a black draped voile dress for $735 (originally $2,450).

Moving onto other shopping sites, Matches Fashion currently carries Nina booties for $623 (originally $1,245) while Stylebop offers 30%~60% off on Balmain. Items include this velvet ruffled mini skirt for $708 (originally $1,181), a black draped mini skirt for $954 (originally $2,385), and skinny biker jeans for $945 (originally $1,575).

Last but not least, over at the actual French brand's online boutique, prices on Olivier Rousteing's Fall '15 collection are slashed 40% off right this moment. I couldn't help but get lost in their shoes and accessories where you can find items like Verneuil booties for $996 (originally $1,660), Lena pumps for $1,032 (originally $1,720), The Evening beaded clutch for $1,977 (originally $3,295), and The Evening red mink clutch for $2,934 (originally $4,890).
