You don’t realize you’re living in a socialist country, until days like January 9th. It’s illegal to have sales other than the official dates set out by the French government (see previous blog post ). It happens twice a year and lasts for 6 weeks all over France! France is well into the winter soldes (9 January-12 February) . Every store in France has a sale. It’s a shoppers haven right now. There are three markdowns which the prices get lower and lower with each markdown. As we’re approaching the final markdown everything in stores, such as Mango, are 50-80% off! This is the best time for fabulous people like myself, whose closest and wallet are looking empty these days!
Happy Shopping Paris!
