Why choose a holiday private sale on The Bradery?
Summer is approaching and with it the desire to refresh your holiday wardrobe. Trendy sandals, comfortable loafers for leisurely strolls, essential travel accessories… These summer pieces often reach high prices in stores. The Bradery negotiates directly with brands to offer you holiday clearance at exceptional prices — well ahead of peak season, when stock is still plentiful.
Every summer private sale is carefully selected: authenticity guaranteed, new items with labels, and fast delivery to receive your purchases before departure. With discounts of up to −75% on brands like White Sun and its iconic sandals, pack your summer case without compromise.
Holiday clearance offers are limited in time — generally between 5 and 10 days — and stock sells out quickly, particularly in common sizes. Ordering as soon as the sale opens is the best strategy to benefit from the widest choice.

Why choose The Bradery for your discounted holiday purchases?
Three reasons to prefer The Bradery over classic sales for your holiday shopping. First, timing: private sales open before peak season, when collections are still complete in sizes and colours. Then, prices: negotiated directly with the brands, they are significantly lower than classic summer sales. Finally, the selection: The Bradery works with brands renowned for their quality and longevity — pieces that will accompany your summers for several years, not throwaway items bought in haste.
How to make the right choices during a holiday private sale?
Holiday shoes: what criteria should you look for?
Shoes represent the most significant purchase in a holiday private sale. Several criteria are decisive. Size first: unlike city fashion, beach sandals often tend to run large — consult the size guide specific to each brand. For White Sun, for example, go with your usual size. Material next: genuine leather, cork, rubber sole — prioritise breathable materials that are resistant to salt water and sand. Heel height finally: a flat or low-heeled sandal (2–4 cm) will be versatile (beach, restaurant, stroll), while a high heel is reserved for evenings. For G.H. Bass loafers, check the thickness of the insole for long days of walking in the city or at tourist sites.
Mistakes to avoid when buying shoes in a private sale
Several classic pitfalls await buyers during summer shoe private sales. First mistake: not checking the returns policy. Some private sales only accept returns if the shoes have not been worn — make sure to test the sandal on a clean indoor floor before deciding. Second mistake: ordering a size too small thinking the leather will stretch. With natural leather, yes; with synthetic, no. Third mistake: buying a purely aesthetic sandal without thinking practically — a pretty heeled sandal on sand means a twisted ankle. Fourth mistake: overlooking accessories like a toiletry bag: bought at the last minute at the airport, it costs three times more than from a private sale.
When should I order to be delivered before my holiday?
Holiday private sales last between 5 and 10 days, with delivery times of 2 to 5 working days depending on your address. To leave with peace of mind, order at least 10 days before your departure. Activate The Bradery alerts to be notified as soon as the sale opens: White Sun sandals and G.H. Bass loafers in popular sizes (36–39 for women, 42–44 for men) often sell out within the first 48 hours of the sale.
The holiday fashion trends to know before you buy
Which shoes and accessories are trending for summer 2026?
Summer 2026 is marked by the strong return of Mediterranean aesthetics: flat sandals in natural leather, sculpted flip-flops, ankle-strap mules. The dominant colours are camel, off-white, terracotta and celadon blue. White Sun perfectly embodies this trend with its artisanal creations in noble materials. On the travel shoe front, the iconic loafer is making a strong comeback thanks to heritage brands like G.H. Bass — a timeless choice that works just as well with jeans as with linen trousers. On the accessories front, toiletry bags and vanity cases in durable materials (canvas, leather) are replacing plastic bags — Maison Scarlett meets this ethical and elegant trend.
Spotlight on the star brands of the holiday private sale
White Sun has been one of the most cited summer sandal brands on fashion blogs for 3 years. Founded around a Mediterranean DNA, the brand offers limited seasonal collections with responsibly sourced materials. Its flat gold-strap mules have become a summer must-have, priced between €95 and €180 in stores. G.H. Bass, founded in 1876 in Maine (USA), dressed the feet of Generation X and Boomers with its Weejuns — the best-selling tasselled loafer in America for decades. Today the brand is experiencing a fashion revival driven by a new generation of fashionistas.
How to care for your summer shoes so they last several seasons?
Proper care multiplies the lifespan of your holiday shoes and improves the return on investment of a private sale purchase. For leather: apply a nourishing cream after each prolonged exposure to salt water or sand, and allow to dry in the shade before storing. For cork soles: avoid prolonged immersion in water — cork degrades with excessive moisture. For G.H. Bass loafers: use wooden shoe trees after wearing to maintain the shape. These simple gestures allow shoes bought for €40 in a private sale to have the long life that €180 retail items deserve.
Frequently asked questions about holiday private sales
What is a holiday private sale?
A holiday private sale is a clearance event on summer season products — beach shoes, travel accessories, luggage items — offered by major brands with discounts of up to −75% for a limited time on The Bradery.
Which size should I order in a summer shoe private sale?
Generally go with your usual size. Refer to the size guide for each brand available on the product page. For White Sun, sizing follows the standard European sizing. For G.H. Bass, the American brand follows US standards — check the US/EU size conversion before ordering.
Are the products in the holiday private sale end-of-collection items?
Not necessarily. The Bradery offers a mix of official end-of-line items and seasonal surplus. All items are new, with labels, unworn and in their original packaging.
Can shoes bought in a private sale be returned?
Yes, within the legal 14-day period from receipt, provided the shoes have not been worn outdoors and are in their original packaging. Always test your new sandals on a clean indoor floor before deciding to keep them.
How can I get delivery before my holiday departure?
Order at least 10 days before your departure to allow for processing time (1–2 days) and delivery (2–5 working days). In urgent cases, select an express delivery option at checkout.
Are White Sun sandals suitable for both the beach and the city?
Yes. White Sun designs versatile sandals made to be worn on sand and in the streets of a coastal town alike. Models with leather or cork soles are however less suited to water — opt for rubber-soled models if you plan to swim in them.
Which toiletry bag should I choose for my holiday?
For a short stay (3–5 days), a medium-sized toiletry bag (approximately 25 cm × 15 cm) is sufficient. For a week or more, opt for a double-compartment bag or a vanity case with rigid compartments. Maison Scarlett offers a variety of formats suited to all types of travellers, in moisture-resistant materials.
