Paris Sale: Soldes January 2008 (Soldes d’hiver)

Category : paris


Its that time of year again, when crowds pile into stores a mad rush at grabbing clothing, knocking other women over with their pocketbooks, compiling battle scars, from shopping. I tell you Parisian sales are no joke, you have to be fit fierce and ready to dive into a pile of 70% off clothes from last season with the rest of paris. You literally have to fight to come out alive. 

Its all the price you pay for a sale that only happens twice a year. Yup just 2 times a year!!! I mean what civilized country can do that to women. Let me tell you, France! We might have the best social and health care in the world but when it comes to shopping at a reduced price, you wait and look forward to the sales like you look forward to the olympics; with great hope and massive preparation. 
It’s certainly not for the faint of heart. You’ll be overwhelmed with choices and shoppers speeding by. One great thing is that every week after the sale begins, the price reduction increases. I can’t tell you the amount of 5Euro stuff I got away with last year! 
Paris Soldes Jan 9th to Feb 16th…all over Paris at shops and boutiques like Printemps, Galleries Lafayette, Zadig and Voltaire, Colette, Diesel, Killiwatch and Kenzo to name a few.
