Major fashion retailers in Europe, including Zara, Parfois, and Reserved, have implemented aggressive end-of-summer sales to clear seasonal stock.

During late August, retailers offered deep discounts, with Zara reducing certain items by up to 80% and Parfois offering footwear at reduced prices. As the season transitioned into early September, the focus for brands like Parfois shifted toward a strategy of ‘accessible luxury’. This approach utilizes materials such as jacquard and satin to mimic high-end aesthetics at competitive prices, helping consumers transition between seasons through promotional campaigns featuring significant price cuts.
