Resell, repair, renovate, rehabilitate, reuse, recycle, reinvent… Second hand has never been so desirable. Moreover, even the big houses are getting in on the act: Hermès is bringing scraps of leather back to life with Petit H, Gucci is launching its Gucci Vintage in homage to the timeless durability of its creations… Even LVMH is adding its retro chic touch with Heristoria, a startup which creates a collection of vintage pieces from the group’s brands.
So, what could be more natural than a show dedicated to this essential trend? From November 15 to 17, the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris becomes the epicenter of responsible luxury with the very first edition of the Reluxury & Barnes Pre-Loved Luxury Show. A meeting where enthusiasts and curious people, professionals and amateurs, all in search of more conscious luxury meet. This unique Parisian event dedicated to the second life and sustainability of luxury goods.
Among the exhibitors, more than 50 major players: Kevin Germanier, guest of honor, eBay, GemGenève, Breitling, Drouot, Piasa, Rivluxe, 58 Facettes, Monogram Paris, but also institutional partners such as the Circular Fashion Federation or the ‘French Union of Jewelry, Goldsmithing, Stones and Pearls (UFBJOP)…
During these three days, all visitors will also have access to a rich program including around twenty conferences, panels and workshops. Led by experts in luxury, circular economy, real estate and the art of living, these discussions will offer in-depth reflection on the future of luxury, the challenges of circularity and the issues linked to the pre-loved market.
Forget the second hand. Here, we celebrate history, patina, the art of transforming and transmitting. It is an ode to lasting elegance where each piece, each object bears the traces of a past life, ready to begin a new one. The term “pre-loved” moreover, loaded with emotion, perfectly reflects this emotional link with what is transmitted.
