Answer: Linens.
The first “white sale” was created in Philadelphia by John Wanamaker, a 19th-century entrepreneur and innovator of the department store. It was named as such because discounted white linens (before colors and patterns were popularized) were marketed to customers hoping for a fresh start after the new year—a time in which linen sales were generally low. Today, white sales remain a global retail tradition.
