Black Friday: our tips for spotting the real bargains
The Espace des Marques Team | Updated on November 10, 2025
Originating in North America, Black Friday (or ‘Frenzy Friday’ in Quebec) is a retail event that takes place every year on the Friday following the traditional Thanksgiving holiday in the United States. This symbolic date marks the start of Christmas shopping and the festive season. Black Friday 2025 falls on Friday 28 November, and although this shopping event is supposed to last just one day, many retailers have, over the years, extended the promotional period. We now refer to it as ‘Black Week’ or ‘Black Month’. It’s the ideal time to stock up on great fashion and sports deals. At Espace des Marques, we help you sort out the genuine deals from the fake discounts.
Black Friday 2025: the hunt for bargains is on!
This Friday, 28 November, marks the start of the biggest sales of the year! Black Friday is the opportunity many French people have been waiting for to start their Christmas shopping – but that’s not all. It’s also the best time to snap up bargains on shoes, puffer jackets, hoodies, jumpers… you name it. It’s the ultimate shopping day. But at Espace des Marques, we make the fun last longer. Black Week starts on 14 November, giving you the chance to snap up the best deals on fashion and sportswear from leading brands.
Is Black Friday really worth it?
Every year, Black Friday promises incredible discounts…but not all of them are worth it! Between fake discounts and prices being inflated just before the sales, it’s hard to know whether a deal is actually a good one. The good news? Yes, Black Friday can definitely be worth it – provided you choose where to shop wisely.
At Espace des Marques, items from leading brands are already on offer all year round, but during Black Friday, the discounts are even better! During Espace des Marques’ Black Week, enjoy exceptional discounts of up to 80 per cent off the biggest names in men’s and women’s fashion: Nike, Adidas, Puma, Schott, Superdry, New Balance, Kaporal, and many more.
The secret to getting a great deal is to spot the items you like before the big day, then compare prices. It’s also the perfect time to invest in timeless pieces: a high-quality men’s puffer jacket on offer, trendy women’s trainers at unbeatable prices, or affordable women’s clothing – perfect for updating your wardrobe without breaking the bank.
Black Friday is your chance to make real savings on branded clothing, provided you shop on a reliable website… like Espace des Marques!
Our tips for spotting the real bargains on Black Friday
To tell the difference between genuine Black Friday deals and fake discounts, there are a few tips you should know:

- Prepare your basket in advance: During Black Week, trendy trainers and discounted puffer jackets sell out fast. Add them to your basket the day before to make sure you don’t miss out.
- Stick to trusted websites: Check customer reviews, delivery times, returns policies, etc.
