In a bar-gallery in Lille, a hotel in Marcq-en-Barœul or a brasserie in Marquette: the location doesn’t matter as long as you’re at the heart of the trend with second-hand items!
1. Unique in Lille and surrounding areas
As its name suggests, Rebellote speaks to coquettes by focusing on the circular economy and invite him eight times a month in a new location in the Lille metropolis for two hour sales. There you can find high-end second-hand clothing, from private wardrobes.
“It’s a traveling consignment store”summarize in unison Mélanie and Julie Delobel, founders of this unique concept in the Lille metropolis. At the ages of 39 and 41, these two sisters each initially worked in their own profession (educator and buyer), giving free rein to their passion for fashion on weekends with clothes swaps between friends.
2. “A good time with friends”
But seeing dressing rooms overflowing, the duo, also attracted by events, is giving up everything to create their own business in 2021. “What changes from classic consignment stores is the ephemeral and itinerant side. In addition to sales, we find new addresses where our customers can have a good time with friends.»
Places where the tandem, equipped with mirrors and fitting roomsadapts to the schedules of its clients: midday in coworking spaces (Coloft in Lesquin, Cap Sauvage in Lille, Halles de la Maillerie in Villeneuve, etc.), The evening after work in places where you can also have a drink (notably the Enfants Terribles in Marquette, or the Ferme aux Oies de Marcq estaminet where sales take place every month).
The weekendRebellote sometimes sets up its nomadic concept store in shopping centers (like Mc Arthur Glenn in Roubaix…). With each sale, new products.
3. A thousand coins
On the racks that evening at the Goose Farm, around a thousand pieces organized by size (from 34 to 42 – “We hope to be able to offer more soon“). We find for example the it jacket of Sézane (Will for those in the know), a blouse Bash very recent, a combi Mediuma tank top The Kooples or a quilted down jacket Zara still on sale and an overshirt Isabel Marant on the contrary sold out. The whole thing half price (at least) compared to the original sale price.
Without forgetting pieces like sailor tops from 6€of the accessories and a little of leather goods (Balzac Paris…) All in very good condition.
4. Influencer dressing rooms
Because what also distinguishes the concept of these Lilloises is the sharp selection among high-end brands but also more confidential designers or more accessible brands: “It’s a selective clearance sale: we only choose current, quality, seasonal and impeccable pieces.», explains the duo who were not taken by surprise this fall by the essential sleeveless jacket.
Among the dressing rooms in the Lille metropolis where Rebellote sources its supplies, those coveted by influencers (Maëva Coucke, Claudia dfce, Bubblebeadoff…)
«Our customers are mainly between 25 and 50 years old and like to find beautiful pieces while being able to touch the material and ensure that there are no defects.», Explain Mélanie and Julie.
Their meetings are now eagerly awaited by some. “I stopped hanging out in fast-fashion stores at lunchtimeconfides a customer. Here, I can treat myself without having a guilty conscience!»
5. Redo your wardrobe or empty your cupboards
If we’re tired of Vinted buyers asking for measurements between the shoulder and the bend of the elbow, we can also call on the duo to empty our cupboards: “From around 20 pieces, we come to your home and set the prices together with the sellers. »
