"The search bar on T.J. Maxx's and Marshalls' websites won't let you look up top designers and companies by name, but it will allow you to search by an item's country of origin. (Hence: the "C" Rule!) And guess what? Some of the highest quality pieces of home decor (and designer brand goods) are made in places like Italy, France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, England, and so on."
"The product descriptions on T.J. Maxx and Marshalls definitely include this information. So if you search for items "Made in Italy," for example, and then filter for "home," you might just find Gucci wallpaper. "Made in France" will pull up Le Creuset and Baccarat, while "Made in Portugal" can help you home in on the quality towels and textiles that country is known for."
"You might think Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and the shopping days bookended in between are not T.J.Maxx or Marshalls' time to shine. And in some ways, you're not wrong. These stores are always offering merchandise at discounted prices - that's their entire business model: making really large buys from vendors and passing on those mass savings to customers. So you can win at shopping at these retailers any time of year."
Search bars on T.J. Maxx and Marshalls block brand-name lookups but list country of origin in product descriptions. Searching country names such as "Made in Italy," "Made in France," or "Made in Portugal" surfaces high-quality home decor and designer goods—examples include Gucci wallpaper, Le Creuset, Baccarat, and Portuguese towels and textiles. Filtering by category (for example, "home") narrows results to relevant items. Both retailers maintain discounted pricing year-round due to bulk buying and vendor deals, and the country-of-origin search technique leverages product metadata to reveal premium finds quickly during holiday shopping windows.
