Clothing collections always arrive in Andorra before you see them in the shop windows in neighbouring countries. In August, for example, here you can already try on many of the winter ranges. As a result, discounts in our shops are available earlier too, which means Christmas is also the sale season, and this will certainly make it easier on your pocket. And you don’t have to wait till the last minute to get a good price on gifts or something special to wear on Christmas day, so you can avoid the risk of not finding what you’re looking for.

But there are also a few “rules” to follow when you go sale shopping. Consumer associations suggest you write a list to help avoid excessive impulse buying. They also recommend asking the establishment if it has a specific returns policy for sale items. There is always a chance that something will need to be returned or exchanged (if it’s the wrong size or colour, for example), so always remember to keep your receipts.

The pre-Christmas sales at illa Carlemany, the centre of Andorra, are always worthwhile, as is browsing the shops in the centre: they offer a complete and varied range of brands and products under one roof, out of the cold winter weather, and there are the centre’s  complementary services such as parking, special gift wrapping, free Wi-Fi, and a wonderful Christmas atmosphere.

So don’t hesitate, come over to illa Carlemany and enjoy the winter sales!
