asked its readers to tell why this period of promotions had disappointed them this season.
Poor quality clothes, past collections, false discounts… There are many reasons.
Started on January 12, the 2022 winter sales will come to an end this Tuesday.
Admittedly, many French people simply did not go to the sales.
Perhaps because they had "no money" like Barbara, or because a shopping day motivated them, but "drawing the pass" inflated them like Alain.
But others, meanwhile, went to confront the (more or less large) displays of promotional items in stores.
Or to the dedicated pages of their website.
And it seems that disappointment is in the game.
But for what reasons?
20 Minutes
asked the question to its readers.
“Too many bad materials and cuts”
“Where do you find all those ugly clothes?
The models have never been on the hangers except more than 10 years ago,” Mamou says indignantly.
The conclusion is almost without appeal.
Many

readers said they were unhappy with the appearance of the clothes on sale, like Charlotte, who found that they were “often damaged.
» Or Huguette, for whom « second quality goods are not sales.

Side style, it is not either the general enthusiasm.
“Fashion has moved towards telecommuting and cocooning products, like sweaters and woolen dresses, relatively sad, when I would have liked to find gay clothes that cheer me up,” laments Minnie.
For Emilie, “too many bad materials, bad cuts and old-fashioned prints.

"Sales of 10 to 40% are not sales"
About discounts, our readers are not satisfied either.
"One week before the end of the sales, the discounts do not exceed 30 or even 40%", according to Catherine.
Lucile, she assumes her expectations: "For me, the sales are at least 50%".
The problem of “false sales” also comes up, especially when a “store announced a 40% reduction on an item when the initial price has been increased by 30%”, points out Marie-Christine.
A practice that gives Rabia “the feeling that we are taken for fools.

And the ready-to-wear sector is not the only one concerned.
"A coffee bean machine was 200 euros on promotion before the sales, and during the sales it went to 240 euros," retorts Christian.
Ges, on the other hand, is disappointed by the sales applied by DIY stores, “where the usual year-round promotions are almost more interesting.
“To” find better and cheaper “, Marie-Aude favors Internet orders.
This is not in Lili's opinion: “On the web, we were entitled to inflated basic prices, which returned to the usual price after a discount.

“The winter collection was not on sale”
“Too many stores are bringing out old items from old collections,” complains Elo.
Worse still: according to Alexandre, you shouldn't expect to come out of the store with seasonal clothes since you will find sales “on summer clothes in winter and winter clothes in summer”.
Laura, nostalgic, remembers the time of her youth, when “virtually the whole store was on sale”.
In recent weeks, "the new collections were too much put forward", according to Lola.
Reason why Gladys prefers to wait for “the new spring collections”.
"There is always a lack of 36 on the only beautiful articles"
Imagine coming across a piece of clothing that you like.
The reduction of which is particularly enticing.
Only problem, you can't find your size.
This is what happened to Arnaud, who found that "the most interesting discounts were often applied to less sold sizes such as XS or XXL or 44 and more in shoes".
Or Alicia, who noticed that there was "always missing the 36 on the only beautiful articles".
On the other hand, according to Alexia, who dresses in large sizes, this category “was not on sale, and this in several stores;
The choice in sizes was also not there for newborns.
“I bought very little for my 3-month-old daughter because there was almost no size for her,” explains Maëva.
