Reserve your sale items now

SOME websites are allowing shoppers to reserve items at discount prices, ahead of the winter sales which start on January 6.

The sales run from tomorrow until February 16, except in Lorraine, where they started last weekend.

However, some shops are allowing customers to reserve items in advance via their websites.

After reserving at item, customers have between 24-48 hours to go to the shop to pick it up, although there is no obligation to buy.

Some of the 18,000 shops taking part will have the item ready within two hours.

According to Le Parisien, expectations for the winter sales are low, following a combination of mild weather, which reduces the demand for winter clothes, and the November terror attacks.

Among the other names taking part are Caroll, Eram, Cosmoparis, Gerard Darel, Naf Naf, Pimkie, Devred, Pull In, Ann Tuil, Cleor, Guy Degrenne, Jour de Fête, Shopix, Zapa, André, la Grande Récré, Madura, Minelli and Pataugas.

From tomorrow, the official start of the sales, the following brands and shops will be offering reservations Bonobo, Bréal, Cache Cache, Cop-Copine, Chevignon, Devernois, Devred, Gerard Darel, Grain de malice, Jules, Karl Marc John, Kookaï, la Halle, le Tanneur, les Petites, Morgan, Sinequanone, San Marina, Scottage, Tara Jarmon and Texto.
