Singles Day: The best deals to shop this November with savings from Charlotte Tilbury, LookFantastic and Kuddly
SINGLES Day 2023 is coming up on 11 November, and to celebrate we’ve found some incredible money-saving deals running across loads of top fashion, beauty and lifestyle brands.
Singles Day is a time to celebrate yourself – and it also marks one of the best times to shop in November before Black Friday.
Singles Day started in 2009 and was founded by Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba, since its conception has become even bigger than Black Friday in Asia.
Twice as many goods are sold over the 24 hours than during the five-day US holiday buying spree that ends on Cyber Monday, November 29 – and in 2019, Alibaba made a huge £30 billion from sales.
The date 11/11 – also written 11:11- was picked because the digits represent a collection of lonely ones, or “bare branches” – which is the Chinese expression for the unattached.
The event was initially an “anti-Valentine’s Day” celebration on university campuses and to celebrate single people in China.
But now the day has become a huge shopping event and has gathered in popularity in the Western World.
There are loads of great offers to be found one and around Singles Day on 11 November, making it a great time to shop for Christmas presents – or simply for a treat for yourself or someone special before Black Friday.
To help you shop smarter, we’ve rounded up the best Singles Day deals to be found from brands like Charlotte Tilbury, LookFantastic and Free People.
