Winter sales: take advantage of great deals

Winter sales: a must for shopping enthusiasts

Every year, the winter sales attract fashionistas, bargain hunters, and families looking to save money. In Luxembourg, this period is regulated by the government. Each year, it sets specific dates for this highly anticipated event.

The dates for the 2027 sales have not yet been set. However, they are expected to take place in January.
During the three weeks of the sales, customers can enjoy significant discounts on sale items in a wide variety of stores. Major international chains in shopping malls, furniture stores, supermarkets, and even luxury boutiques offer attractive discounts on their products, clothing, shoes, furniture, and decorations.

These discounts can range from 20% to over 70% at the end of the period. Their goal? To make room for next season's items.

Consumer rights during sales

Remember that even during sales, consumers still have certain fundamental rights.

• Two-year warranty: Sale items must comply with this warranty.
• Defective products: Even if the product is on sale, you can request a refund, replacement, or repair if the product has a defect that was not mentioned at the time of purchase. The seller may also offer to repair or exchange the product.
• No obligation to take back: However, if the item is not defective, the retailer is not obliged to take it back or exchange it.
