Um, HELLO: Your favourite luxe brands are having an epic warehouse sale to help sick kids.

We all shop. Don’t lie now, you’re among friends.

No judgement, of course. Sometimes, it’s impossible to resist the lure of adding just one more pair of black boots to your shopping cart or ducking into the shops after work for ‘a quick look’.

Thankfully, we may have just found the very best excuse to shop ’til your bank balance drops in existence.

Next weekend from Thursday the 28th until Saturday the 30th of June, Wishful Warehouse Sales will be serving up a heap of your favourite (and exxy) brands at heavily reduced prices.

For three days, you can shop some of Australia’s most sought-after and Instagramable labels between 50 and 70 per cent off. Seriously.

Best of all, all proceeds from this epic sale will be going to Make-A-Wish Australia, who help grant life-changing wishes to seriously ill children.

Make-A-Wish CEO Sally Bateman is thrilled to be teaming up with brands including Tony Bianco, Mimco and sass & bide for the Wishful Warehouse Sale, which will go such a long way towards granting the cherished wishes of kids and teenagers battling critical sicknesses.

“Every day, six Australian families receive the devastating news that their child has a serious illness. That’s around 2,000 families, which is four times the number we are currently able to reach,” she told Mamamia.

“A wish can help really sick kids build the emotional strength they need to fight for their health by sparking their imagination and reigniting their sense of hope.

“But wishes take work and Make-A-Wish receives no ongoing government funding so we are only able to continue making wishes come true thanks to the incredible support and generosity of local communities, individuals, our wonderful network of volunteers and business partners like those who have helped to make the Wishful Warehouse Sale possible.”

Along with DJ entertainment and mini manicures, here’s the full, illustrious list of designers who’ve gotten on board with this great cause:

  • Aje
  • Brooks Brothers
  • Decjuba
  • Ellery
  • Ginger & Smart
  • House of Quirky
  • Jac & Jack
  • Mimco
  • Romance was Born
  • sass & bide
  • Scanlan Theodore
