Sandro launches first Argentina store in Buenos Aires
It will be a flagship store in one of the most luxurious shopping malls in Buenos Aires, located on Avenida Figueroa Alcorta and Salguero. This announcement follows numerous store openings by international brands in the country, encouraged by the more global facing commercial policies of the current Argentine government.
Sandro is a Parisian brand that has long been a leader in the affordable luxury segment. It is known for its men's and women's collections, both refined and original, with an added touch of audacity this season.
Evelyne Chetrite, founder and creative director of the label since its inception in 1984, is known for her precise aesthetics: modern and sophisticated clothing that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Since 2008, Ilan Chetrite, Evelyne's son, has developed the Sandro Homme line, focusing on classics reinvented with a modern twist, in the style of Bourdelle, whose mother was a knitter by trade.
Sandro counts more than 750 points of sale worldwide. Today, it is the key brand of the Sandro, Maje and Claudie Pierlot group, known as SMCP.

French Word of the Day: Bazarder
Why do I need to know bazarder? Because this French slang word is inter-generational. What does it mean? Bazarder - roughly pronounced bah-zar-day - is a French slang word that means 'to get rid of (or scrap) something'. For example, you might say J'aurais dû bazardé la voiture et acheter un vélo (I should have got rid of the car and bought a bicycle). In this usage, bazarder is a synonym of se débarrasser de. Advertisement The word has a long history. You might read it in an Emile Zola novel, and then a week later hear it spoken by a young person. The verb experienced a revival in the 2010s, thanks to the pop song Bazardée in 2017. While bazarder is not always applied to people, it can be used to talk about a break-up, albeit in a harsh way. For example, a magazine headline about a celebrity relationship might read Elle a bazardé le père de ses enfants (She dumped the father of her children). In the 1800s, the word bazarder (written as basarder at the time) referred to 'selling something at a low price'. This came from the word bazar , which in itself comes from the Persian term for a town's public market district. The word bazar entered the French language in the Middle Ages, and at the time it referred to a 'market where dresses, caps and other items are sold'. Use it like this Il est inutile de tout bazarder pour ce projet. Il y a d'autres choses à faire sur la liste des tâches. - There's no need to drop everything for this project. There are other things on the to-do list. Prends seulement ce dont tu as besoin. La grande valise, on peut la bazarder. - Just take what you need. We can throw away the big suitcase.

French foreign trade deficit widens before new tariffs take effect
Vulnerable. Extremely vulnerable. Just as the new tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump come into force, France has found itself in a uniquely weak position in the trade war. That is what the latest foreign trade figures released on Thursday, August 7, by French customs and the Banque de France show. In the first half of the year, the value of imports of goods exceeded exports by €43 billion. After four consecutive quarters of improvement, the trade deficit began to widen again, deteriorating by €4.4 billion – an increase of more than 10% – compared to the second half of 2024. That is not all. The current account balance also raises serious concerns. This broader indicator, which, in addition to goods, includes services and income transfers between France and the rest of the world (such as cross-border salaries and dividends), plunged due to a drop in foreign investment. Slightly positive in 2024, the current account turned sharply negative in the first half of 2025, with a deficit of €17.6 billion. The main reason was income transfers, which recorded their largest deficit in over a decade.
