Birkenstock private sale: Madrid, Arizona, Boston or Gizeh
The big Birkenstock models trace the history of the German brand. The Madrid, a single strap sandal launched in 1963 by Carl Birkenstock, was the first to showcase the anatomical cork footbed. The Arizona, with two adjustable straps, arrived in 1973 and became the emblem of American counter-culture. The Boston clog, closed at the front, followed in the late seventies; adopted by caregivers to protect their toes, it is worn with socks from autumn. The Gizeh and Mayari models slip between the toes. In Birko-Flor, these models can be cleaned with a damp sponge; in suede, they can be brushed dry.

Armedangels, Superdry, Fred Perry: the textile of the private sale
The textile of the private sale lifestyle is based on brands with very different identities. Armedangels, founded in Cologne in 2007 around a simple white t-shirt, makes its jeans and sweatshirts from GOTS certified organic cotton and is committed to the Fair Wear Foundation. Superdry, born in Cheltenham in 2003, combines Japanese-inspired graphics with American vintage; its Everest puffer jacket, quilted and hooded, is one of its classics. Fred Perry, created in 1952 by the three-time Wimbledon champion, embroiders its laurel wreath on its t-shirts. The Joma Lion tracksuit, made of polyester, is suitable for both sports and relaxation.

Clogs Crocs and bum bags: the practical pieces of daily life
The Crocs Classic clog is moulded from a single piece of Croslite, a foam resin unique to the brand born in 2002 in Colorado: light, flexible, it can be rinsed simply with clear water. Its vents keep the foot cool, and its back strap pivots to hold the heel while walking or flips forward to wear it like a mule. The bum bag Quadra can be worn at the waist or across the chest: phone, keys, and travel card are always within easy reach, without the bulk of a back pack. Its adjustable strap and zip closure make it just as practical in the city as when travelling, for both adults and teenagers.

Frequently asked questions
How does an online private clothing sale work?
A private sale offers, for a short announced duration, a selection of branded clothing and shoes at reduced prices. Available sizes diminish as orders are placed: check yours on the product page before finalising your cart.
Do Birkenstock sandals run large or small?
Birkenstock uses European sizes and a generous foot shape: keep about half a centimetre of space in front of the toes and around the heel. A narrow foot will choose the narrow width, while a wide foot will opt for the normal width.
How do you wash organic cotton jeans?
Turn them inside out, wash them at a maximum of thirty degrees with a gentle detergent, then let them dry naturally. Spacing out washes helps preserve the colour of the denim and the strength of its fibres, regardless of whether the cotton is organic or not.
How do you fluff up a puffer jacket after washing?
A synthetic puffer can go in the washing machine on a delicate cycle, with all zippers closed. Dry it flat while shaking it regularly, or use a tumble dryer on a low setting with two tennis balls to fluff the filling.
What does the laurel wreath in the Fred Perry logo mean?
It references the wreath that adorned the ribbons awarded to the winners of Wimbledon by the All England Club. Fred Perry, crowned in the tournament in 1934, 1935, and 1936, adopted it as soon as he founded his brand in 1952.
