1,000,000 pairs of shoes sold by Sarenza in France!

A million what ? A million

For those of you don’t know (be ashamed, be very ashamed), Sarenza is France’s fashion bible. With brands such as Mellow Yellow, Guess, Chie Mihara and Bensimon to tickle those twinkly toes, Sarenza caters for every occasion.

We launched in Paris in 2005 and we made the choice to propose the widest range of brands on the Internet and to offer a premium service to all of our customers (Free delivery, free returns on all orders). This has been a big success and in the beginning of April (the 7th at 8.13pm to be precise) we sold our millionth pair of shoes.

Well, this was the factual part of the story, now here is the real story:

So there’s this 19 year old girl,  ‘Oceane’ from West France (Nantes for French geography specialists), going about her daily internet shopping trip, looking for a pair of cool Bensimon plimsolls when she stumbled across ‘Sarenza’ (that’s us!). Naturally having the latest and largest ‘Bensimon’ collection, ‘Oceane’ decided to kindly give us her money. And what did she find you ask?

A golden ticket!

Not just any golden ticket, but the golden ticket which in real terms translates to… wait for it…

- A voucher worth £3500 voucher to spend on shoes at ‘Sarenza’

- An all expenses paid weekend trip in a five-star hotel in Paris

- A photo shoot (including stylist, makeover and pedicure)

And why did she win this you ask?

All because she bought the millionth pair of shoes on the site, and that we wanted to thank our beloved customers!

And all because the lady loves Sarenza!
