Traditionally, the winter sales are launched at the beginning of January: this year, they were to start on January 6, but a decree published in the official journal postpones their launch to January 20.
This change is associated with the current health situation, and even if it does not call into question the effective duration of the sales, which is four weeks, it necessarily requires a review of its organization.
If you are used to waiting until the sales to spend your Christmas gifts and gift cards received during the holidays to remodel your wardrobe or equip yourself with high-tech devices at low prices, you will have to wait a few more weeks.
But with sales at a loss and discounts that can go as low as -90% across markdowns, being patient can really be worth it.
But which brands to turn to, and to buy what?
Here are five e-merchants that count during the winter sales, and that should not be overlooked from January 20.
