The White Company sale: our expert-selected top picks
The White Company sale: bedding
Cavendish Duvet Cover: was £180, now £108 at Selfridges (save £72)
If you've always aspired towards a hotel-style set of bedding, look no further. The crisp, modern Cavendish is a favourite amongst boutique hotels and the flat sheet is in the sale too. Dreams do come true.
Savoy Flat Sheet: was £92 now £36.80 at Selfridges (Save £55.20)
There aren't many savings at Selfridges right now, but this is special. What could be bigger than the best 'five-star luxury' Savoy flat sheet? This premium 400-thread-count Egyptian cotton percale is a best-seller for a reason, it's divine.
Somerton Cotton Double Flat Sheet: was £72, now £37.50 at Selfridges (save £34.50)
Clean, crisp, and sharp, these classic flat sheets are a bedroom staple. If you like coordination (who doesn't?) the matching duvet cover is reduced to £94.50 (from £135), so you can complete the set and save at the same time.
The White Company sale: Fragrance & Beauty
A little-known fact that I think more people should know about is this. The White Company’s beauty products were created in collaboration with the skincare genius and founder of The Ordinary, Brandon Truaxe. In short, it’s seriously good stuff.
There aren't any deals on their fragrance and beauty collection at the moment, but here are some pieces that I'm still happy to buy at full price (for myself and for my friends).
Calm Magnesium Body Lotion: £25 at The White Company (save £5)
Magnesium is one of those magic minerals that will change the way you wind down. It naturally relaxes your muscles, encouraging deeper, more restful sleep. Pair those powers with notes of juniper, sage, and ylang ylang and you'll be feeding your skin whilst soothing your mind.
Spa Restore Room and Body Mist: £22 at Selfridges
Setting yourself up for a calm, restorative day has to start (or at least include) something for your senses. This invigorating blend of neroli, eucalyptus, and geranium is naturally uplifting, whether it's on your clothes or in the room.
Calm Wellness Gift Basket: £68 at The White Company
I'm always after Christmas presents around this time of year and the Calm Wellness Gift Basket hits the spot perfectly. This makes a gorgeous present for your loved ones (who doesn't want the gift of TLC) or you can split it to give mini trinkets to a few.
The White Company sale: Clothing
Wrap-tie V-neck linen-blend waistcoat: was £110, now £77 at Selfridges (save £33)
Get party-ready with this chic co-ord. The waistcoat looks great with the co-ordinating wide leg trousers (also in the sale), but the wrap tie waist and relaxed fit works with a whole range of your wardrobe.
Slouchy hobo-shape leather bag: was £225, now £157.50 at Selfridges (£67.50)
At the time of writing, there are only two of these bags left and I'm not surprised. The roomy pouch can fit all of your essentials, whilst looking sleek and chic with your everyday outfits.
Funnel Neck Knitted Jumper: was £85, now £59.50 at Selfridges (save £25.50)
Elevate your loungewear with this light cotton layer. It slips on over your cosiest outfits, offering a relaxed style and flattering funnel neck. This is off-duty dressing at its finest.
Embroidered-stitch sleeveless knitted top: was £89, now £44.50 at Selfridges (save £44.50)
The beauty of cashmere is that you can buy a thin, drop-shoulder top like this and stay warm (without being weighed down). If you get super cold, like me, you can effortlessly layer a long-sleeved top under here. It's easy chic.
The White Company sale: candles
Whilst there aren't any of the brand's best-sellers in The White Company sale (Seychelles, I'm looking at you), there are still some lovely candles to be shopped. Whether this is a gift for someone else or a treat for yourself, these candles and diffusers will enhance the ambience of your home.
Spa Restore Candle: was £22, now £17.60 at The White Company (save £4.40)
Restore is also in the 'Spa' collection, with the addition of some uplifting peppermint and cleansing sage. It's a gorgeous candle, but the diffuser is also available for £28.50
Winter Pillar Candle | £12 at The White Company
Every year I invest in one of these pillar candles. They're set with dried fruits and spices and smell exactly like Christmas. It's my favourite Christmas candle of all time.
Glow LED Candle: £15 at The White Company
I'm a flameless candles convert. These safe-to-use, surprisingly realistic candles will flicker and glow, whether you have them in the bathroom, or on the floor. If you have pets or children, these will be a godsend.
Lime & Bay | £7 to £80 at The White Company
Fans of Jo Malone's Lime, Basil, and Mandarin also tend to love this zesty and vibrant collection. It's one of the brand's best sellers and is perfect for this time of year. It's an easy choice for anything from gifting to home uplifting (my house is full of it).
Sea Salt | £10 to £65 at The White Company
If you're dreaming of days by the sea, this crisp and uplifting collection is what your home needs. It's the equivalent of opening a window when you live along the coastline. I love it.
Tuscan Grove | £10 to £65 at The White Company
If you had something a little sweeter in mind, this is the collection I'd recommend. You get the gentle floral notes of orange blossom mingled with the zestiness of bergamot. It's unbeatable.
The White Company Sale: home
The White Company makes some astonishingly good home accessories. Just these few pieces below are gorgeous and it's easy to understand why once you get some insight into the brand. This section is Chrissie's pet project, so she makes sure that all the ceramics and earthenware are Portuguese, and hand-crafted. In essence, these are the epitome of perfection. For now, here are some of my favourite pieces:
Arley Whitewashed Terracotta Jug: £70 at The White Company
Vases and ceramicware are done particularly well at The White Company. If you're wondering why, it's because this is Chrissie's pet project and this terracotta jug, whilst new to the range, has her name written all over it.
Larton Scalloped Marble Plate: £45 at The White Company
I actually had to bag this and checkout before I set this live because it's in such high demand. The marble looks (and feels) like it should cost ten times the price, but it doesn't. Use this in your tablescapes, or even in your lounge for trinkets. It'll be a hit.
Portobello Serving Platter: £60 at The White Company
Timelessly styled from Portuguese clay, this platter enhances your everyday dining experience. Use it for everything from relaxed to formal dining, plus there's a whole Portobello collection available to match it.
Astley Tall Bud Vase: £8 at The White Company
I love my vases at the moment and bud vases are my favourites. They're small and cute, but you can make some elegant mantle decorations in your bedroom or down the table by popping a stem or two in each bud vase. I always work in threes, but it's up to you.
Culver Midi Jar: £45 at The White Company
This is another Chrissie Classic. The gentle, organic hue and curved edges have class all over them. It looks a lot like a designer vase that I've had my eye on, except it's a tenth of the price.
FAQs
When is The White Company clearance sale?
The White Company clearance sale happens at different locations, at different times each year. Last year, a two-day clearance sale was hosted at Sandown racecourse in June. And this year, a clearance sale was held for two days at the end of February at Newbury racecourse.
These events are ticketed, and offer up to 70 percent off across home, bath, bed, furniture, Little White and more.
How often does The White Company have a sale?
The White Company sale used to be continuous, but now they're turning the discounts off with some smaller, rarer sale events. I would expect a pre and post-season sale three to four times a year, which isn't very often. Your next one is likely to be Boxing Day and the New Years Day sales, but don't forget to look at Selfridges, because they have their own sale over there.
If you sign up to their newsletter, you'll get notifications for when the sale is on as well as daily emails with some shopping inspiration and White Company news. Alternatively, check back here for the deals and discounts that I've found. I'm always scrolling through their sales.
When is the White Company Black Friday sale?
The White Company put their own spin on Black Friday and the Cyber Sales, calling it The White Weekend. It's just ended and, don't worry, it was very small. The brand offered a blanket 20% off across all the site.
Last year we saw up to 60 percent off on bedroom essentials such as pillowcases, throws and bed linen, as well as clothing half price and up to 30 percent off luxurious beauty products, such as moisturising hand lotions. Christmas decorations and home scents were also reduced by 20 percent.
If the weekend passes you by, never fear, as I mentioned earlier, the Boxing Day sales are huge too, as are its end-of-season sales, so you’ll be able to bag a discount on your most coveted clothing or classic home accessory at some point in the year.
Our top tips for shopping The White Company sale
After years of covering the 'White Weekend' deals, we at woman&home have pulled together a few expert tips for making the most of the discounts:
- Snap up your favorite deals ASAP: If you're keen on an item in the White Company sales, one of my biggest tips would be to take advantage of the prices as soon as you can. This is because, sometimes, items are only around for as long as stocks last - and given how popular The White Company is, products such as clothing can sell out incredibly quickly during discounts. So if you see a PJ set that you've wanted for ages or a homeware deal you can't resist, don't wait.
- Use it as a chance to buy some quality basics: The White Company are famed for their premium quality products, so the White Company sale is a fantastic chance to get some of their best, basic items for a fraction of the cost. Take their bedding, for example, which is made of premium fabrics - their best bedsheets are often made from Egyptian cotton or linen - and can therefore be expensive. The brand also sells lots of cashmere clothing, which can come with a high price tag. As such, the White Weekend sale is a chance to buy quality items that will last for years, for much less than their usual price.
- Check out the ongoing White Company sale as well as the 'White Weekend' and dedicated sales: As mentioned, the luxury brand often runs an end-of-season sale with even more money off in the background of their bigger sale events. For example, you can usually get (out of season) clothing for up to 70% off, which is a much bigger saving than their normal Cyber Weekend discounts, for example. Be warned though that not all of their categories of products are in this wider sale, and often these items are available in very limited sizes or colorways.
Does the White Company have an outlet shop?
The White Company has a reasonable-sized outlet at Bicester Village, which is about half homeware, candles, and fragrance; a quarter womenswear; and a quarter children’s wear.
At this outlet, The White Company stocks its classics sheets and scents (including the sensational Seychelles collection) all for at least a 20 percent discount – I don’t think I’ve ever walked out without buying something.
Other FAQs
How much does delivery cost with The White Company?
In the UK, standard delivery is free if you spend over £50. For orders under £50 delivery costs £3.50. If you need next-day delivery, it's £7.95, but you will also need to place your order before 7pm.
Is The White Company vegan and cruelty-free?
The White Company claims to be cruelty-free, stating on its website that none of the brand’s products are tested on animals, with no fur being used, "We do not test on animals and do not condone animal cruelty of any kind. We have banned the use of fur and rabbit. In addition, our bath and body products will all be vegan by the end of 2022."
However, this doesn’t mean The White Company is a vegan company. While all of the brand’s bath and body products have been vegan since the end of 2022, The White Company still uses responsibly sourced feather and down, which is not vegan, although the company does state that “all the leather, skins, down and feathers we use are by-products of the meat industry”.
