Designer Discount Websites

About three months ago, the New York Times featured a column that discussed many websites that have extreme discounts on designer fashion. From the list, we chose four sites that seemed to have the best quality, in what they sell, and in their service.
The sites don't solely feature clothing. They also feature cooking supplies, furniture, make-up, and discounts on hotels and villas. The average discount percentage for all sites range from %45-%87 off.
Some of the major designers that have their clothing sold on these sites include Fendi, Michael Kors, Tom Ford, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Calvin Klein, and Juicy Couture. Sales are changed everyday and last for about two days.
To enter some of the sites you have to know someone who is already signed up and they have to invite you from their account. Once you invite someone and they accept, you are rewarded with $10-$25 off your next purchase.
The following list includes the name of the site, the link, and whether you have to be invited or not.
