2016 Mantelsonntag in Luxembourg and Trier

Today all shops are open in Luxembourg from 14:00 to 18:00, due to the traditional Mantelsonndeg.

If you don´t have a warm coat for the winter, now it's the time to buy it :)

Public transportation is free today, so you can wander in any direction to find the perfect coat ;) .

More information can be found here 

Next Sunday, just in case you haven´t found what you are looking for, you have the opportunity to continue the shopping in Trier.  

Stroossemaart in Luxembourg this Saturday, 4 June 2016

Or, why to stay in the house when all the shops are open and the bargains await on the streets :) ?

As every year, the deal will be found on the commercial streets in the city center and towards the railway station.

The shopping starts on 4 of June, from 8 a.m until 7 p.m, so you have all day to decide what to buy :).

There are also some prizes (first prize in the value of 1 000 euro), but for a caddy race its the pleasure of doing the forbidden thing, rather than the hope of winning the prize.

Have fun!

Zweibrucken The Style Outlets - winter sales

A few years ago we discovered the outlet in Zweibrücken, Germany (about 130 kilometers south-east of Luxembourg).

Yesterday was the last day of sales and the shopping centre was packed with people.

The prices explain the crowds:

Ceramic flower bells from Villeroy & Boch (paid 2 euros, instead of the 15 euros)

Puma trekking boots (paid 38 euros, instead of 125 euros for the women pair and 34 euros, instead of 115 euros for the men pair)

Camper leather boots (paid 30 euros instead of 140 euros)

...and more

The official website of the Zweibrucken outlet centre is: http://zweibrucken.thestyleoutlets.de/en/

See you there for the summer sales in July-August.
