Gilt is an American online luxury flash sale retailer founded in 2007 in New York City, now owned by Rue Gilt Groupe, a subsidiary of Poshmark's parent company. The platform offers members-only access to designer fashion, accessories, home decor, and experiences at prices up to 70% off retail. Gilt pioneered the online flash sale model in the United States, creating time-limited events that generate excitement and urgency around luxury shopping.
Gilt features curated sale events that typically launch at noon EST, offering designer apparel, handbags, shoes, jewelry, home furnishings, and travel experiences from brands such as Valentino, Versace, Tom Ford, and La Mer. Each sale runs for a limited time, usually 36 to 48 hours, and inventory is limited. Gilt offers free shipping on orders over $99, and returns are accepted within 21 days. The platform operates on a membership model, though registration is free.
