What to buy in The White Company sale – tips from their former fashion editor
Now's the perfect time to invest in luxury for less
The White Company's sale is the place to shop for the season's luxuries. Whether you want to fluff up your towel collection, layer up your luxurious bedding, or burn some comforting candles at home, I've got the inside information on where to find the biggest (and the best) deals.
As we move inside for the cosy seasons, you'll probably find yourself itching to get some hygge into your home. Thick throws, plush cushions, and comforting candles are all essentials for this time of year and nobody does them better than The White Company.
I know all the ins and outs of the brand's homeware and clothing because I used to be their Fashion Editor. I got sneak previews of the pieces that are designed to drop exclusively in the sales, snippets of their fragrance productions, and insights into where all the products come from. I can tell you, hand on heart, that they sell the best cotton sheets and plushest bath towels on the market. And they're a B-Corp too.
I can also tell you that The White Company's Sale is the first place you should go on their website. Almost all of their best sellers make an appearance in here. Even their most luxurious loungewear can be found for more money off than even staff discount cards would allow. You'll need to cherry-pick what you shop, but that's why I'm here. I can do it all for you.
The White Company sale: quick links
There are two ways we can do this, if you’re looking for something in particular use the links below to easily reach the section you’re after. If you want my insider insight, then read on with me and take a look at the stand-out pieces I’ve selected. If in doubt, do both.
- Baby & Children: big savings on little ones' clothing and accessories

My second piece of advice - The White Company sale is not just on their website. They have a vast department at Selfridges with some even bigger discounts if you know where to look. I’ve sprinkled these in below, it’s definitely worth checking out. Also, Selfridge's is a great backup if you’ve seen something you like but it’s out of stock.
Here's where to go if you want to shop The White Company Sale at Selfridges for yourself.
The White Company sale: our expert-selected top picks
The White Company sale: bedding
If there are two things The White Company are known for, it’s bedding and candles. There is an argument to say that The White Company made bedding white in the same way that Coca-Cola made Christmas red, that’s what I’m telling people anyway. Luckily for us, there are no less than 172 bedding-related products in The White Company sale at the moment. If you’re ready for a bedding refresh or want to stock up on wedding gifts then you’re in the right place.
I've given you the price for double beds where it's relevant.
Aldbury Throw and Cushion Cover | Was £60, now £30 at The White Company (save £30)
This is wonderful for wrapping around you when it's a little cooler outside. The chunky wool blend knit will bring the cosiness in, adding texture to your room. Did I mention you get coodinating pillowcases too?
Malmo Hot Water Bottle | Was £32, now £22.40 at The White Company (save £9.60)
The saying 'get it while it's hot' has never been more apt. This super snuggly water bottle has 30% off, but when the weather drops, it'll be shooting up to full price. So, even if a 30% saving isn't the biggest, it could be the best investment that you make.
Somerton Flat Sheet | Was £72, now £28.80 at The White Company (save £43.20)
The whole Somerton bedding collection is in the sale and I had to check that detail multiple times. This classic, highly covertable cotton set is ideal for anyone looking to timelessly elevate their room. For 60% off, you'd be crazy not to take the plunge.
Marley Flat Sheet | Was £55, now £22 at The White Company (save £33)
I absolutely adore this simple, yet sophisticated style. It's crafted from cooling, naturally breathable cotton, so it feels crisp and refreshing against the skin. With such a massive reduction from the original price, it would have been impossible not to include this in my list.
The White Company sale: Fragrance & Beauty
My third piece of advice - a little known fact is that 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. Here are some suggestions to top up your supplies at home but equally they all make great gifts.
Spa Escape Travel Set | Was £50, now £40 at The White Company (save £10)
Here is a fact: the cheapest wash bag you can buy from The White Company is £39. When you think of it like that, you are paying £39 for the bag in this set, and then get a bath & shower gel, a body scrub, a face & body mist and a hand cream all for £1. Don’t question the maths, this is a bargain however you spin it.
Peony Hand & Nail Gift Set | Was £28, now £19.60 at The White Company (save £8.40)
Peony, rose, and honeysuckle are a combination of scents that will never go out of style. This hand and nail gift set is best gifted to yourself. It’s the time of year when we’re all out in the garden planting vegetables, picking apples from the tree and playing on the beach. Our hands need a bit of TLC. 30% off is a great reduction and seals the deal for me on this one.
Bergamot & Cedar Body Lotion | Was £15, now £7.50 at The White Company (save £7.50)
Don’t let your pampering end after the candlelit bath. Complete your evening (or morning) with this luscious body lotion to leave your skin feeling silky smooth thanks to the aloe vera and vitamin E that has been incorporated to result in this winning beauty product
Bergamot & Cedar Bath & Shower Gel | Was £13, now £5.20 at The White Company (save £7.80)
Mix this into your bath for a luxurious foam or a creamy shower lather. There’s no such thing as smelling too good, so combo this with everything else in this section and go about your life feeling truly spectacular.
The White Company sale: Clothing
You probably wouldn't believe me if I told you that there's just one piece of clothing in The White Company's sale right now, but there is. The cardigan is capsule wardrobe worthy, but, luckily, I have a few more tricks up my sleeve. Over on Selfridge's there's White Company clothing aplenty in the sale. They might not all be available in your size, but I've picked some pieces that will never go out of style.
Oversized Cardigan with Recycled Cotton | Was £79, now £39.50 at The White Company (save £39.50)
I love an oversized cardigan for throwing on when you leave the house. Before we're plunged into the super cold months, it's the perfect extra to have with you, because the organic cotton will take the edge off any chill in the air. Right now, there are only size smalls in stock, so nab it while you can.
Pleated Mid-Rise Satin Midi Skirt | Was £119, now £71.40 at Selfridges (save £47.60)
Where there's a skirt, there's a season ready and wating. This long satin skirt is an elegant piece for any wardrobe. The satin feel is smooth against your skin and it sits in a flattering mid-rise position. There are only size 12, 14, 16 available though.
Gold-Plated Brass and Cubic Zirconia Huggie Earring | Was £35, now £24.50 at Selfridges (save £10.50)
Huggie earrings are a TWC sellout. They love making them and we love wearing them. They're dainty and elegant, but you can wear them without worrying they're going to drop out of your ear. There are only three left in stock as I write, so don't hang around.
Patch Pocket Overzied Linen Shirt | Was £79, now £47.40 at Selfridges (save £32.60)
I know linen shirts are a summer staple, but I wore mine so much that I want another one. You can keep wearing it with tonal outfits over the autumn, with some light layers underneath or thick jumpers over the top. I actually had to stop writing so that I could get one in my size through the checkout before this page went live. Sorry.
V-Neck Jersey T-Shirt | Was £45, now £27 at Selfridges (save £18)
No list would be complete without a classic tee. I love the naturally breathable jersey fabric and deep V-neck of this style. It's super soft, neatly cut, and crafted from renewable materials. These little touches make this so much more than a basic.
Tie Back Round Neck Jumpsuit | Was £79, now £55.30 at The White Company (save £23.70)
There's only one size left in the jumpsuit (8), and if that fits, grab this saving while you can. You can layer some simple t-shirts or shirts under this or a thick jumper over the top. It's super soft and easy to wear, even when you need to look smart.
Double Pop-Over Organic Cotton Blouse | Was £98, now £68.60 (save £29.40)
I promised that the brand's best-sellers come in the sales too and this is my proof. This easy, pop over blouse is perfect for pairing with jeans and long skirts. It gives you a breathable, chic, extra layer over the cooler months with an incredible saving too. What more could a girl want?
The White Company sale: candles
I hate to be the barer of bad news, but there aren't any candles in The White Company sale right now. From experience, this means that we're due a new load of discounts very soon, but if you can't wait to get some scent into your home, here's a selection of my favourites. If you want some other candle inspiration, make sure that you look at our autumn candle collection.
Winter Mini Pillar Candle | £12 at The White Company
I'm showing you the mini pillar candle, because it's the cheapest. I actually buy a large one for my home every year, because the festive scent is so delicious (and super popular too). If you want your house to smell like Christmas, this is the candle for you.
Fresh Grapefruit Large Candle | £60 at The White Company
As one reviewer has echoed my words “Can’t go wrong with a White Company candle”. This is no exception. Citrus and jasmine make it a perfect refreshing scent. I really love the larger candle sizes, they have much more presence in a room as a statement piece in the centre of a table.
Autumn Botanical Candle - Medium | £35 at The White Company
Fresh and crisp, this classic autumn candle captures the essence of the season beautifully. It's warming and fruity, reminiscent of picking fruits on a countryside walk with some sweet amber and musk grounding the fragrance. The apples and pears that are pressed into the wax make this a chic candle that nobody can resist.
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 | Between £10 and £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 pattern of slim sales on The White Company site continues, but don't worry, I've found a few deals elsewhere. I love the pieces that the brand sells, especially now that they've expanded to include some other luxury brands in their repertoir. Le Creuset, for example, used to exclusively make white products for the brand. Since their launch this year, you can buy white Le Creuset from the brand themselves too. The Le Creuset sale has some gems over there too.
Large Bistro Table | Was £250, now £125 at The White Company (save £125)
I know that the best of our al fresco days are behind us for 2024, but that's all the more reason to snap up savings on outdoor furniture now. This simple, elegant table is perfect for taking out to a sunspot in the summer, or for putting outside when you have your morning coffee, even in the middle of the winter. It's sunny sometimes then, isn't it?
Quilted Cotton Placemat | Was £22 now £15.40 at Selfridges (save £6.60)
Nothing feels cosier than some quilted cotton placemats. This set of two is perfect for any tablescape, as well as for keeping on the counter if your surfaces are sensative to heat. They're rustic, homely, and there are only three sets left.
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 has a rolling sale, meaning there's always a tab online where you can click and shop products for a discount. There's always an influx of new products at the start and in the middle of every season, so they're the best times to shop.
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. The final Friday in November, right through to the Monday, the company offers deeper discounts on some of its best products, even the latest, most popular pieces. I’ve seen discounts as much as 70 percent, so if you shop carefully, you can bag a whole host of White Company pieces for the price of a couple at full retail price.
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 White Company is no stranger to sales. 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 Cyber Monday deals, one of our 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 Cyber Monday 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”.
