Custo Pop-up Store

Custo Barcelona is currently opening what they are calling "Pop-up" stores around Spain. The concept is to open a space where they sell Custo clothes with up to 70% of discounts during a limited amount of time.
In Barcelona they opened the Pop-up store on the Shopping Night (the 30/11) at Pg. Gracia 26. Unfortunately, the Pop-up store's last day is today.


The concept was really cool; it was placed in a garage and not only could you buy clothes but there was also a corner serving drinks, a DJ playing music and in the background you could enjoy a Custo catwalk.



Here are the information for the Pop-up stores in the rest of Spain:

MADRID – Tiendas en Fuencarral y Gran Vía – Del 1/12 al 11/12
VALENCIA – Tienda en Jorge Juan – Del 1/12 al 11/12
ZARAGOZA – Centro Comercial Puerta Cinegia (Plaza España) – Del 14/12 al 21/12
LLEIDA – Institut d’Estudis Ilerdencs – Del 29/11 al 3/12
PLATJA D’ARO – Avinguda S’Agaró 4 – Del 3/12 al 10/12




My boyfriend who is actually a bigger fan of Custo than I am visited the store early and found him-self some really nice offers. He also had a gift for me; this nice sporty hoodie jacket.

Great brand discouts in Vente privée

Vente privée is a French online shop, where they do outlets of different brands that last 2-3 days.
Here they sell everything from clothes to accessorizes, home appliances, cd's, books, theatre tickets, jewellery and bigger things like fridges and cars! The products are normally stocks from previous seasons that they want to get rid off. Therefore you can really find some great discounts with up to 80 % off.

Currently they are only present France, Germany, Spain, UK and Italy and in order to be a member, you have to get an invitation from an already existing member. The existing member will then get a voucher after the invited person has done his/her first shopping.
You have to be fast as the stock and the good sizes get sold out soon, but you can also do some great deals.
I found this watch from Tommy Hilfiger (with a silver frame, not gold as on the picture). It was discounted from 130 euros to 40 euros (plus the shipping charges: 6 euros). I received it more and less a month after ordering in, in great conditions.

Mango Outlet

Outlets are a great way to amplify your wardrobe without having to spend a lot of money.
There are many outlets in Barcelona, spread all over the city. Not far from where I live, there is a street only with outlet shops where you get find great bargains.
Yesterday I went by Mango Outlet, without a doubt my favorite store on that street.
With outlets you have to have a lot of patience and a little bit of luck. In the Mango outlets they sell two kinds of lines; the "taras" meaning clothes from this season but with mistakes and often with a 50% or more discount. Then they sell clothes and accessories from past seasons (what ever did not get sold in the shops and during the sales) among which you can find clothes with starting at a 30% discount. Sometimes you find many nice things and sometimes nothing at all, depending on if they just brought new stocks or not. It is recommendable to go to the outlets during sales season (in Barcelona they start the 7th of January and the 1st of July), when you will find all the already discounted clothes on sales and you can clothes for ridiculously cheap prices.
I found this really cute white top (see picture above), discounted from 24,90€ to 11,99€ and now 7,99 €.
