EXCLUSIVE blog from our artisan for the Winter Sales!!!
As you must have seen, almost everywhere, the 2024 winter sales start on January 10, 2024. But in advance, we have to prepare everything and choose which creations will we put discounts on, and especially what amount?
Obviously, as a craftsman, I have to earn a salary to live. But over the last few months, I have realized that the purchasing power and desires of the entire population, including me, have been reduced to nothing by inflation in France.
This is why, this year, exceptionally, I decided to put my entire store on promotions.

Confessions of a rebellious but combative craftsman!
.
For a living, I make furniture. Either that I imagine for my clients, or that I reproduce by adding my personal touch. But for that, I have to buy materials and with each order, never in advance.
As a result, I experience market prices on a daily basis. And that’s never good news for my company and my accounts.
.
Fortunately, many of you believe in me and continue to choose my creations. And that puts an entire local chain to work. My suppliers are my neighbors and without you we could not exist!
It is thanks to you that today I can express myself here. And to show you all my gratitude, I'm making a gesture for your wallet. So that many of you can have the furniture of your dreams!
.
For a craftsman, like me who makes all his custom creations, applying discounts even during sales periods is like playing Russian roulette.
As much sometimes, it's a good thing, but it's lately and for a while, the price of all raw materials has only been increasing. But I can't apply these increases permanently.
.
Although I want to make a living from my art, it is above all a passion and I need you to live it fully.
Making the decision to apply a reduction over this entire period means taking the risk of seeing the price of raw materials soar and finding myself with a tiny, or even non-existent, margin!
But it's the game, and without you I couldn't do it. Sometimes a small concession can please a large number of you, including me..... You will be able to advertise me with your superb creations!!!
.
I am therefore announcing to you that there will be a 10% reduction on all orders placed between January 10 and February 6, 2024 and even on quotes!!!
And yes, that's also what being an artisan is, it's sharing your knowledge, your love and your conviction, at any cost!
