Pre-Loved Luxury Show, the first circular luxury market
The Reluxury trade show, dedicated to sustainable luxury, is being held this year at the Carrousel du Louvre. The event stands out for its commitment to ethical and sustainable fashion, where luxury brands adopt environmentally-friendly practices.
In partnership with Barnes Immobilier, Reluxury promotes values such as sustainability and reuse, aiming to integrate an ethical dimension into the world of luxury.
Ethics and sustainability at the heart of Reluxury
Reluxury focuses on “slow fashion”, a concept that values quality and durability over quantity. Exhibitors offer second-hand luxury clothing, jewelry and accessories. This model aims to reduce the industry’s carbon footprint by limiting the production of new pieces and extending the life of existing products. Barnes Immobilier, a committed player in responsible luxury, supports this initiative as part of its approach to sustainable fashion and living.
Reluxury demonstrates the growing importance of vintage in the industry. By offering quality pieces that transcend fashions, the show promotes vintage as an eco-responsible alternative. Barnes shares this vision and applies this principle to the selection of its properties. Barnes offers prestigious residences that combine history and modernity. Vintage is thus becoming a symbol of sustainability, increasingly attracting lovers of luxury and authenticity.
Committed brands
Leading luxury brands are following this trend by introducing dedicated vintage services. For example, Weston Vintage offers a collection of vintage shoes, restored to their original shine. This concept encourages a responsible consumption cycle. And it encourages respect for resources by bringing iconic objects back to life. Other initiatives are following suit. The Ritz recycles its broken crockery by teaming up with La Fabrique Nomade, a craft workshop, to create unique jewelry. These actions show that sustainability now affects many areas of luxury, from fashion to hospitality.
Reluxury exhibitors don’t just sell second-hand pieces: they showcase creations that embody the elegance of enduring luxury, and captivate with their rarity and history.
Towards a future of sustainable luxury
The rise in popularity of vintage demonstrates that sustainability is a growing value in the luxury goods industry. By choosing products that have already lived, consumers are helping to reduce environmental impact. Reluxury, by bringing together brands that share this philosophy, shows that it is possible to combine luxury and responsibility. The show invites fashion lovers to reimagine luxury for a more sustainable future.
