ARKET Sales FAQ

1

When does ARKET have its biggest sales?

ARKET runs four main sale events each year: a Winter Sale (late December into January), a Summer Sale (around June), and two Mid-Season Sales in spring and autumn. The biggest single promotional weekend is the Black Weekend in late November.

Tip: ARKET's sale timing can shift slightly between markets. Sweden and the UK get priority, but most global storefronts follow a similar pattern.
2

How much can you actually save during an ARKET sale?

During seasonal sales like the Winter Sale and Summer Sale, ARKET discounts go up to 50% off selected apparel and homeware. The Black Weekend offers a flat 20% off all purchases that meet the minimum spend threshold for your currency. Flash promotions — like a short-run knitwear discount — tend to be around 20% off too.

3

What is ARKET's “Previous Collections” section?

Previous Collections is ARKET's name for its clearance section — past-season pieces sold at reduced prices. It stays live on the site year-round but the depth of stock (and discount level) changes. During big sale periods, over 1,000 items can appear there at up to 50% off. It's the first place to check if you want ARKET quality at a lower price point.

4

Does ARKET do Black Friday?

Not in the traditional sense. ARKET runs a Black Weekend instead — a four-day event from Thursday through Sunday at the end of November. The deal is 20% off all purchases above a set minimum spend (e.g., 80 EUR, 900 SEK, 100 USD). It covers the full autumn/winter collection and is valid both online and in physical stores. In past years, ARKET has also quietly expanded its Previous Collections section around this same period.

5

Does ARKET offer a student discount?

Yes. ARKET offers 14% off for verified students — and it applies to both full-price and discounted items, online and in-store. You verify your student status through a third-party service (like Student Beans or UNiDAYs depending on your country), and you'll get a code to use at checkout. This discount is available in all markets ARKET ships to.

6

Who else qualifies for an ARKET discount besides students?

ARKET extends its 14% discount to keyworkers, NHS workers (in the UK), and senior shoppers. Like the student discount, these apply to full-price and sale items. You verify through GoCertify or the ARKET Discount page depending on which category fits you. These are among the most overlooked savings at ARKET — many shoppers don't realise they qualify.

Tip: The 14% discount cannot be stacked with other code-based offers, so use it on your bigger purchases to get the most value.
7

Does ARKET run flash sales or short-term deals?

Yes, occasionally. ARKET has run short-window promotions outside of its main sale calendar — such as 20% off knitwear for a few days, or a “buy two or more sale items and get 20% extra off” event. These aren't announced far in advance, so they tend to be surprise deals for those already browsing the site. They're less predictable than the seasonal sales but absolutely happen.

8

Does ARKET offer free shipping during sales?

Free shipping thresholds apply year-round, not just during sales. In the UK, ARKET Members get free standard delivery on orders over £70. In the US, standard delivery is free on orders over $200. Delivery times during sale periods can be longer than normal due to higher order volumes, and express options may be temporarily unavailable.

9

Are ARKET sale prices the same online and in stores?

For ARKET's own promotions — like the Black Weekend — the same offer applies both online and in physical stores. However, online and in-store stock can differ, so a discounted piece available on arket.com may not be on the rack at your local store and vice versa. If a specific item matters to you, try checking both channels before assuming one has it.

10

Can shoppers outside Europe access ARKET sales?

Yes. ARKET ships globally from arket.com, and major sale events like the Black Weekend include USD pricing thresholds (minimum $100 spend for the 20% off deal). The Previous Collections section is also accessible from any country ARKET ships to. That said, ARKET has a much stronger physical presence in Europe — US and other international shoppers mostly access sales online. Delivery costs and times will vary by location.
