The Lifestyle on sale

Backpack, cap, beret: the accessories to grab

Accessories are the safest purchases in sales, as they don't go out of fashion easily and have little to no size issues. The Eastpak Padded Pak'r backpack, with padded back and straps, is also available in a Sparkly version, made from glittery fabric. The New Era cap of the New York Yankees is based on the fitted model of the brand established in Buffalo in 1920, worn on the field by Major League Baseball players. The Kangol Seamless beret, knitted from a single piece of wool without seams, is the emblem of the British brand founded in 1938. The Quadra bum bag completes the selection.

By audience

The lifestyle sales are organised by audience:

• Women.
• Men.
• Children.
• Accessories, bags, caps, and small accessories.

Women's wardrobe: pieces designed to last

For women, the sales allow for targeting pieces that you keep for a long time. The Arizona sandals from Birkenstock, available in narrow width for slim feet, and the Boston clogs with braided suede straps wear well: their cork sole molds to the foot and can be resoled by a cobbler. The sweatshirt Armedangels in organic cotton, designed in a loose fit, can be worn for several winters without losing shape if washed at low temperature. The Superdry women's padded jacket, with a hood, is chosen fitted for the city or longer to cover the hips. The bikini top Freya is chosen by cup size, just like a bra.

The other sales

The sales are also divided by category: sneakers, football, running, outdoor, indoor, equestrian, on the sales page.

Men and children: tracksuits, t-shirts, and sizes that grow

For men, the tracksuit Joma Lion features a zip-up jacket and matching pants in polyester, useful both at the club and for travel. The Fred Perry t-shirt, embroidered with its laurel crown, and the Kariban t-shirt with contrasting raglan sleeves round off a casual outfit. For children, one can take a size up for sweatshirts, jackets, and padded coats, which are worn loose and will last another year; however, shoes should remain the exact size to avoid hindering walking. The summer sales at the end of June often prepare for back-to-school season, while the winter sales equip for the cold.

Frequently asked questions

When do the winter and summer sales start?

The winter sales usually start on the second Wednesday of January, and the summer sales on the last Wednesday of June, lasting for four weeks. A few border departments and overseas territories follow their own calendar.

How to buy baby clothes in the sales?

A baby changes size every two or three months in the first year: we buy one or two sizes up thinking of the season they will be worn in. Cotton bodysuits and pyjamas, which can endure frequent washes, are the most useful purchases.

How to revive the cork sole of a sandal?

When the exposed cork becomes dull or starts to flake, cover it with a thin layer of cork sealer, sold at cobblers. The insole can be cleaned with a soft brush and slightly soapy water, then air-dried.

How to check the reality of a discount during sales?

The crossed-out reference price should be the lowest practiced by the seller in the thirty days preceding the discount. This requirement has applied in France since 2022 and helps measure the actual extent of the reduction.

How to wear a wool beret?

The beret is placed on the back of the head and then tilted to the side, leaving the forehead clear. In wool, it should be brushed to remove lint and washed by hand in cold water, then laid flat to dry to maintain its shape.
