Boy or girl, young or old, no one can escape the phenomenon. Not a weekend goes by without a big house or "small" individuals organizing a clothes sale to lighten up our... dressings, precisely. Let's look back on the little story of this phenomenon and take inventory of the best ones in the capital.
Parisian Craze
What other capital city could be the setting for clothes sales than the fashion and style capital? While friends have been exchanging their fashion favorites at home since the beginning of time, the XXL events like Violette Sauvage, launched 6 years ago, have brought a new dimension to the phenomenon. But it's not just about swapping behind a screen.
"It's a good way to tell the story of the clothes we're (re)selling: where we bought them, how long ago, etc. Also, clothes sales organized in beautiful venues like the Carreau du Temple are an opportunity to meet people and go out," says Élodie Trébuchet, responsable
ble communication and partnerships at Violette Sauvage.

Anti-crisis solution
Beyond the obvious desire to fill up on new beautiful things, participating in a clothes sale is also a good anti-crisis solution: getting rid of clothes surplus (who doesn't know about it?) to make some money and... buy more stuff. No, we're joking. Elodie states: "The clothes sale is a true way of consuming differently, in a more collaborative and responsible manner. It's a circular economy: we consume, we consume, and then we give a second life to our forgotten clothes, so as not to waste."
Little list of the coolest wardrobe clear-outs in Paris
Sissi Wardrobe Clear-Out
You will find pieces that come from the wardrobes of style-hungry Parisians - Chloé, Maje, Manoush...beautiful pieces, in very good condition, and at truly affordable prices. During our visit, we were tempted by a Sandro skirt for €35, or a Givenchy sweater for €90! More than just trendy and high-quality clothes, Sissi offers real advice - on colors, the type of pieces (some that we would have never imagined wearing) - and even makeover sessions over tea and pastries. The keyword for Sissi? Friendliness.

For over 20 years..., the Emmaus Alternatives association accompanies the most disadvantaged towards reintegration through social and economic activity.

Every year, 3500 people break free from the cycle of exclusion by gaining access to their rights.

Vepsi
VEPSI (Solidarity Private Sales) wants to contribute to making this world a better place. A part of the team is made up of volunteers, and they organize private sales. Through these sales, Vepsi supports various charitable projects and associations. They believe that everyone has the power to make a positive impact and that small actions can lead to significant change. Check out their Facebook page to learn more about their initiatives and upcoming events.The proceeds from this giant wardrobe sale will be donated to NGOs. We feel a little less guilty about splurging, as it's for a good cause! At the same time, responsible designers and brands showcase and sell their products at private sale prices. For the first time, you can rummage through fashion bloggers' closets while discovering new designers and trends. It's a one-of-a-kind concept!
We found the trendiest consignment store in the capital! Frilly and silk clothes, high-heeled shoes, colorful bags, vintage hats, costume jewelry, oversized coats, and all kinds of accessories. Hello, summer!It's not very big but that's exactly why we quickly find the unique and original piece that we need. The best part: its colorful display that is rearranged almost every week. Keep an eye out when you pass by!
