5 reasons to buy second-hand!

    5 raisons de consommer de la seconde main !

    We often hear that consumption patterns are changing and that the second hand is more and more fashionable, but what are the advantages? We will answer it in 5 points!

    1. PARTICIPATE IN THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY
    In the era of overconsumption and fast fashion, it is important to be aware of your fashion purchases. The circular economy consists of producing sustainably to limit the consumption and waste of resources. Consuming second-hand therefore allows you to participate in this mode of consumption since you are not participating in the creation of a new product.

    2. BE GREENER

    Fast-fashion and its ever lower prices can obviously attract us to save money. Unfortunately, this is an increasingly worrying system for the planet: counting the production of raw materials and the transport of products (most often made in China), a simple t-shirt requires thousands of liters of water and produces several kilos of CO2. Each second-hand purchase therefore makes it possible to avoid participating in the pollution that the purchase of a new product would have produced.

    3. ENJOY EXCLUSIVE ITEMS

    Many brands are launching ephemeral collections or temporary collaborations. The second hand allows you to find pieces on which you had flashed but which you had not been able to buy. For example, Louis Vuitton released the Pochette toiletry bag in the 2000s and stopped marketing it in 2021. This kit was very coveted, and the only way to get one today is second hand!

    4.GIVING A SECOND LIFE TO LUXURY PIECES

    Each piece has its experience, its history and its identity! Consuming second-hand not only makes it possible to perpetuate the life of the pieces, but also to give them a whole new story!

    5. ATTRACTIVE PRICES, OF COURSE!

    It is obvious that second-hand products have much more attractive prices than products in store. In addition, we have seen in recent years that the major brands have constantly increased the prices of their products. Chanel, for example, can increase the price of its bags by 10%, up to 4 times a year!
    Clearly, there are many reasons that can lead us to buy second-hand: to participate in the development of a healthier economy, to make an eco-friendly gesture or even to be able to afford parts at an attractive cost.
    Intemporal guarantees you 100% second-hand pieces, from current collections but also from certain collections that are currently unavailable. We also guarantee prices up to -30% below store prices!
