THE second hand luxury came to make the connection between these two little voices in our head, the one that tells us to do our best to protect the environment, and the one that tells us to give ourselves a few little pleasures to take care of ourselves.

Far from displeasing, the idea of promoting pretty things with a story has transformed into a trend anchored in our daily lives! Making something new out of something old is nothing new. What is important is to place these vintage pieces at the heart of the creative process.
