Les soldes, c'est bidon !

The sales are nonsense!

2 min read

Rather than talking about 30 or 40% off, we prefer to talk about 30 or 40 degrees, to care for your garments properly.

Sales as a retail practice to clear unsold stock at a discount: we have nothing against that, and we respect the approach. Sales as a marketing tactic designed to manipulate and create the illusion of a bargain: that is simply not our style.

We have chosen to craft timeless garments offered at fair, fixed prices with reduced margins. As a result, our ability to run discounts is very limited, if not almost non-existent.

Paradoxically, despite our stance, this period remains one of the busiest. Many of you visit our website or shops. Changing consumer habits takes time. So, rather than offering discounts, we use this period to support meaningful initiatives and reward you!

Following Horace and Respire, we have partnered this time with a brand of natural, eco-friendly, and effective detergents: Les Petits Bidons! The goal? To care for your clothes and the planet.

How do you claim it? It's simple: from 8 January to 4 February, with any purchase of €100 or more online or in-store, receive a complimentary Les Petits Bidons laundry detergent*! Watch the video

Why is this good news? Because not only will you save money, but you will also help protect the planet.

The first reason is simple enough. The longer you wear a garment, the better value it offers over time. Choosing well, caring for it properly, not washing it too frequently (airing it out thoroughly between wears is often more than enough), and using a detergent that is gentle on fibres all help keep your garment in great shape for longer. From a more altruistic perspective, keeping a piece of clothing for several years significantly reduces its carbon footprint: in doing so, you benefit both your wallet and the environment. All the more reason to take care when laundering your finest pieces.


To the popular saying "consume less, but better", we could add "wash less, but better"

The other advantage of using an eco-friendly detergent that is gentle on your clothes is minimising water pollution. Indeed, one of fashion's biggest environmental impacts comes not from raw materials, manufacturing, or transport, but from laundering clothes.

Whether because of the water and energy used or the water and soil pollution it causes, standard laundry is not the most eco-friendly routine. And for good reason: most detergents on the market contain petrochemical-derived substances, such as EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid), sodium perborate, or optical brighteners, which release various heavy metals harmful to both aquatic life and human health.

With every wash, these substances flow directly into the oceans, as some cannot be filtered out during wastewater treatment. To the popular saying "consume less, but better", perhaps we could add "wash less, but better"?

Our new partnership with Les Petits Bidons looks at sales from a different angle: choose thoughtful purchases and quality pieces, step back from promotions, cherish your clothes, and keep them for as long as possible by caring for them every day!
