Printemps's Pelarrey said the store saw sales dip slightly in December after rising in November.Apparel and lingerie sales in France fell 3-5 percent in December, the French Apparel Retail Association said.Retail and luxury analysts expect the winter sales to take a serious toll on margins and are wondering what will drive volumes once the sales season is over."We are expecting bigger discounts than before which will generate volume but which will also inevitably hit margins," Boris Bourdet, an analyst at broker Natixis in Paris, said.Consultants Benchmark Group expect winter sales on the Internet to rise 15 percent as shoppers avoid having to elbow their way through shops.Winter sales in France will last five weeks this year as opposed to six last year.
