WHAT IS SSW?
We launched the Sustainability, Sample & Warehouse (SSW) Event in 2023 as a more responsible way to give new life to products that might otherwise go unused.
We do not believe in the luxury industry practice of burning, destroying or discarding products simply because they do not meet exact aesthetic standards. A scratch, a dent, a slight color variation or another minor cosmetic imperfection does not change quality, craftsmanship or functionality.
Through our SSW Event, we offer products that are slightly imperfect aesthetically, but in perfect working condition, for up to 60% off standard pricing. SSW may also include samples created during our design and development process, discontinued products and select warehouse inventory.
Every SSW product is inspected by our team and is fully functional. Because of the nature of the event, cosmetic variations will differ from product to product.
The SSW Event allows us to reduce unnecessary waste while giving these products the opportunity to be carried, traveled with and enjoyed for many years to come.

WHAT CAN I GET DURING THE EVENT?
During the SSW Event, we offer products from our permanent collection, including our Convertible Executive Bags, which is our most produced style.
SSW inventory may also include production samples, discontinued products, and select inventory from our warehouse. You may also find colors, materials or designs that are no longer available in our regular collection.
Products offered during each SSW Event vary based on what is available at the time, so no two events are exactly the same. Quantities are limited, and in some cases, only one of a particular product may be available.
All SSW products are inspected by our team before being offered. Unless otherwise noted in the individual product description, SSW products are fully functional. Depending on the product and its condition, you can save up to 60% off standard pricing.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
ADDITIONAL RELEVANT FAQS
We are incredibly meticulous about the products we offer. During production, quality control, handling and transit, we occasionally identify some deviations from our usual aesthetic standards. This might be something as small as a scratch, indentation, slight color variation, hardware mark or another cosmetic irregularity. In other instances, a product may be missing an accessory such as a removable strap. Some imperfections are barely noticeable, while others may be more visible and simply become part of the character of the product. Rather than discard or destroy an otherwise beautiful product, we would much rather give it the opportunity to find a home with you.
To the best extent possible, we will clearly describe any known imperfection on the individual product page, whether it is a minor scratch, missing strap or something else. Please read the product description carefully before purchasing so that you have as much information as possible about the product you will receive.
SSW products may have cosmetic imperfections, but they are NOT damaged or defective.
SSW products are fully functional and have been inspected by our team before being included in the event. The reason a product has been designated for SSW will vary, which is why we encourage you to review the individual product description before purchasing.
If there is anything that materially affects the product or an included accessory is missing, we will disclose that information on the product page.
Yes. To the best extent possible, we identify and describe known imperfections directly on the product page.
The description may note a scratch, indentation, hardware mark, color variation, missing accessory or another characteristic specific to that product. Because many SSW products are individually unique, we strongly encourage you to read the product description before purchasing.
Please keep in mind that leather is a natural material and may have variations in grain, texture and color that are inherent to the material itself.
SSW pricing reflects the unique nature of the products included in the event.
A product may be a sample, part of a discontinued collection, excess warehouse inventory or have a cosmetic imperfection that prevents us from offering it as part of our standard collection. Depending on the product and its condition, SSW savings can be as much as 60% off standard pricing.
The craftsmanship and materials do not suddenly disappear because a bag has a scratch or was created as a sample. SSW gives us a more responsible alternative to waste while giving our clients access to exceptional products at prices we do not ordinarily offer.
The SSW Event gives clients an opportunity to purchase our products at reduced pricing with certain conditions. This may mean a cosmetic imperfection, a sample or discontinued product, limited packaging, or another condition that we have disclosed before purchase.
We still take great care in handling and packaging every SSW bag, and all bags will include a dust bag because proper storage and care are important to the longevity of your bag. However, SSW purchases may not include the complete presentation and unwrapping experience that accompanies products purchased from our regular collection. For example, the signature unboxing presentation included with our New Yorker bags is reserved for New Yorkers purchased from our regular collection.
Ultimately, the two experiences are designed for different priorities. If having a product that meets our complete aesthetic standards and the full Silver & Riley presentation are important to you, we recommend shopping our regular collection. If you simply want the product and are comfortable accepting the disclosed conditions and a simplified experience in exchange for significant savings, SSW may be right for you.
Absolutely. We welcome first-time clients to shop the SSW Event, and it can be a wonderful opportunity to experience Silver & Riley for the first time.
The products offered during SSW are the same standards of quality and craftsmanship that Silver & Riley is known for. If there is a known variation from our usual standards, we will note it directly on the individual product page. Many SSW products are completely brand new, while others may be samples, products used in photoshoots, discontinued products, or products that we simply chose not to include in our regular collection. We encourage you to treat the product description as your source of truth when deciding which SSW product is right for you.
No. SSW inventory is determined by what is available at the time of each event, and quantities are extremely limited.
Some products may only have one unit available, particularly samples, discontinued products and products with individual cosmetic imperfections. Once a product sells out, we cannot guarantee that another will become available.
If you see something you love, we recommend purchasing it while it is available.
Our SSW event takes place at select times throughout the year, typically once or twice, based on available inventory. Because SSW is driven by samples, discontinued products, warehouse inventory and products that do not meet our standard aesthetic requirements, every event is different.
We run a full-priced business and do not participate in traditional discounting or promotional events such as Black Friday. The SSW event is one of the few opportunities throughout the year to purchase Silver & Riley products at significantly reduced pricing, with savings of up to 60% off standard pricing.
We recommend joining our email list to be among the first to know when the next SSW event is announced.
SSW products are already offered at significantly reduced event pricing, with savings of up to 60% off standard pricing. For this reason, discount codes cannot be used on SSW purchases.
We do our best to ensure that discount codes are automatically disabled for SSW products. In the event that our website inadvertently accepts an additional discount or promotional code on an SSW purchase, Silver & Riley reserves the right to cancel the order and issue a full refund.
- SSW inventory is extremely limited. In many cases, only one unit of a particular product, color or condition level is available.
- Adding a product to your cart does not reserve it. SSW products remain available for purchase until checkout is completed. If another client completes checkout first, the product may no longer be available.
- A maximum of two SSW orders may be placed per client, per day. This helps us maintain a fair shopping experience and prevent system abuse during the event. Orders exceeding this limit may be cancelled at our discretion.
- Inventory may change throughout the event. As our team completes additional inspections and inventory reviews, additional SSW products may be added. There is no guarantee that a particular product, color or condition level will be added or restocked.
- We cannot honor SSW pricing after the event has ended. SSW pricing applies only to eligible inventory purchased during the event. Products from our regular collection remain at their regular prices.
- We cannot retroactively apply SSW pricing. If a product purchased previously at regular price later appears in SSW, the SSW price cannot be applied to a previous purchase. SSW inventory is separately designated based on the condition or circumstances of the individual product.
- SSW purchases cannot be returned or exchanged. This program was created as part of our commitment to sustainability and reducing unnecessary waste, and the returns process creates additional transportation, packaging and emissions that work against the purpose of the event. We go to great lengths to ensure that you know exactly what you are purchasing by individually photographing the products and including clear descriptions on individual product pages. Transparency is incredibly important to us, and there are no “gotcha” tactics here. We want you to feel informed and confident about exactly what you are purchasing. If you have any questions before ordering, our team is always happy to help.
- Exchanges between SSW levels are not available. If you purchase a Level 3 product and a Level 1 product later becomes available, or vice versa, we cannot exchange one for the other.
