STATE Bags Sales FAQ
When is STATE Bags' biggest sale of the year?
Black Friday is STATE's biggest sale event, typically happening in late November. You can expect around 25% off sitewide, with select styles discounted up to 70% off. They often throw in free personalization during this event too.
This sale usually extends through Cyber Monday weekend, so you have several days to shop the best deals of the year.
Does STATE Bags offer free shipping?
Yes, but only on orders over $200. Otherwise, standard Economy shipping costs $11.50 and takes 3-7 business days to arrive anywhere in the US.
If you need faster delivery, they offer 2-Day shipping with rates calculated at checkout. Hawaii shipping is $30 and Alaska is $50 for Economy.
What's the return policy at STATE Bags?
You have 30 days from delivery to return items. The bags must be unused with original tags attached. There's a $5 return fee that gets deducted from your refund, and original shipping fees are non-refundable.
Are personalized bags final sale?
Yes, all personalized bags are final sale and cannot be returned or exchanged. This includes any bag with custom embroidery or initials added.
Personalized orders also take extra processing time—up to 10 business days during busy seasons before they even ship out. Plan ahead if you're ordering embroidered bags for gifts or special occasions.
How does STATE's giving back program work?
For every bag you buy, STATE donates a fully-loaded backpack to an American child in need. They also commit 20% of their gross profits to charitable causes and community programs.
Since the brand started, they've donated over 200,000 bags through “Bag Drop” events across the country, where kids receive backpacks filled with school supplies. When you shop STATE, you're directly helping kids and families in need.
What is STATE Pre-Loved?
STATE Pre-Loved is their official resale program where you can buy gently used STATE bags at discounted prices. It's a sustainable way to shop the brand while saving money.
You can browse pre-owned backpacks, totes, and other styles on their dedicated resale site. Prices vary based on condition, but you'll typically save 30-60% compared to buying new.
When does STATE have their Summer Sale?
The Summer Sale typically starts in June and runs through July, with an “End of Summer Sale” offering up to 70% off select styles. This is one of the best times to grab discounted backpacks, totes, and travel bags.
The sale collection is updated regularly throughout the season, so check back often for new markdowns.
Does STATE offer Memorial Day sales?
Yes! STATE consistently runs a Memorial Day Weekend sale with around 20-25% off sitewide. This sale typically runs from the Friday before Memorial Day through the holiday Monday.
It's a great opportunity to stock up on backpacks before the Back to School season or grab travel bags for summer trips.
Are there year-round sales at STATE Bags?
Absolutely. STATE maintains permanent Sale, Kids Sale, and Adults Sale sections on their website with rotating discounts throughout the year. You'll find past-season styles and select items marked down 25-50% off.
Does STATE Bags have sample sales?
Yes, STATE occasionally hosts sample sales both online and in-person in New York. These events feature one-of-a-kind styles, prototypes, and overstocked items at steep discounts.
Sample sale items are all final sale, and online sample sales typically ship to the US only. Follow their social media or check their dedicated Sample Sale page to catch these limited events when they pop up.
