This best-seller in the Monoprix textile department is sold in stores and on monoprix.fr. Here’s why you should add it to your shopping cart before certain points of sale close.
Forget the delicatessen section or decorative accessories for a moment. If your local Monoprix store has to lower its curtain, it is towards the textile section that you should direct your shopping cart as a priority. Because it is there, between two gondola heads, that the item that all the regulars of the brand want to treat themselves to is hidden. As reported by LSA, three Ile-de-France stores of the distribution giant have been sold to Lidl, three others have closed permanently and eleven will become franchises, making certain in-store references even more difficult to find. Even with a vast network of points of sale, each closure turns the race for the basics into a real mission.
There is also a certain nostalgia that sets in at the idea of seeing these temples of city center commerce change their face. Who has never loved strolling through these heated aisles, going from the beauty counter to the ready-to-wear racks, touching the hangers like in a miniature department store? The lighting in the booths, the full-length mirrors at the corner of a department, this way of going in to do your food shopping and coming out with a fashion find slipped into a kraft bag… Monoprix was a bit like our pocket Department Store, and each closure takes away a little of this pleasure of spontaneous purchasing.
In this context, some shelves become empty in no time. But certain pieces cross the seasons without ever going out of style. Among them, one reference particularly attracts attention: soft, elegant and adaptable to all outfits, it stands out as the basic par excellence. Its discreet charm lies as much in its material as in its cut, designed to be effortlessly chic.
This is the cashmere sweater from the Premium range. Priced at around €90, it offers unbeatable value for money, far from the prices charged by specialized brands. Its high-end material does not pill, remains comfortable and soft after several washes, and its classic cut lasts through the seasons without aging – the person who writes these lines testifies to this. This sweater is not a fleeting trend: it goes with every outfit, from casual jeans to a dressy midi skirt. Its neutral colors make it easy to match, and its timeless look allows you to wear it season after season without ever getting tired of it.
Be careful though: sizes M and L disappear very quickly from racks in stores. It’s not about redoing your entire wardrobe, but about grabbing that prized piece before it leaves the shelves for good. Coveted, accessible and timeless, this cashmere sweater is the true fashion ally of the season — and it is precisely this mixture of rarity, quality and controlled price that makes it a sure value not to be passed up.
