Are sale items the same quality?
Yes, and it's worth making clear because the question comes up often. Our sale items aren't a separate range: they are styles from our previous collections, made in the same workshops, with the same leathers and the same construction.
So you'll find the same hallmarks: comfort padding placed between the insole board and the sock lining, and a full leather lining that is breathable and non-irritating. Discover our craftsmanship.
The only difference is availability: sizes and colours dwindle as items sell, with no restocking.
Choosing well during the sales
This is where the difference between a good deal and a pointless purchase is made. Three reflexes are all you need.
Start from a real need. The question to ask isn't "is this a good discount?" but "how many times will I wear it?". A pair worn three times a year is still expensive, whatever its price.
Never compromise on size. It's the most common mistake during the sales: taking a size up or down because the right one is no longer available. Leather stretches a little but never shrinks, and a style that's too big can't be fixed. Check the fit advice on each product page and our size guide.
Favour neutral shades. Black, brown, nude and metallics go with most of a wardrobe and last from season to season. A trend colour bought in the sale is often the one that stays in the wardrobe.
What makes the best sale buys
Last season's styles in timeless shapes are the best opportunities: a black smooth leather pump or a flat ankle boot doesn't go out of fashion from one year to the next. See our pumps and our flat ankle boots.
Leather goods are also a smart sale buy, for a simple reason: there's no question of size, so no risk with fit. See all our leather goods.
Returns and exchanges
The return conditions for sale items are set out in our terms and conditions of sale and in our FAQ. Our advisers can also help you in our stores.
A practical tip: during the sales, as quantities per size are limited, a size exchange isn't always possible. It's better to check your size before ordering than to count on an exchange.
