Members-only sales platform OnTheList expands to Saudi Arabia

  • Starting Jan. 19, members across Saudi Arabia will have exclusive access to a curated schedule of limited-time sales featuring an exciting array of luxury brands

DUBAI: Building on the strong momentum in the UAE, OnTheList announced the launch of its members-only sales platform in Saudi Arabia.

Starting Jan. 19, members across Saudi Arabia will have exclusive access to a curated schedule of limited-time sales featuring an exciting array of luxury brands, including Gucci Jewellery, Aigner, Lanvin and Serapian Milano, all carefully selected to embody sophistication, quality and exceptional value.

“This expansion reflects our belief in the region’s vibrant luxury market and the appetite for a fresh, sustainable approach to premium shopping. Our members in the Kingdom will soon experience the same fast-moving flash sales that have made OnTheList a favorite across Asia and the UAE,” said Delphine Lefay, co-founder of OnTheList.

Originally founded in Hong Kong in 2016, OnTheList is Asia’s first members-only flash sales concept. Since opening in the UAE in 2024, it has brought over 50 of its frequent flash sales, both online and in in-person events.

With its signature blend of in-demand inventory and streamlined e-commerce access, OnTheList is positioned to elevate the way Saudi consumers engage with luxury and lifestyle offerings.
