Hotel-Led Vintage Markets

Solving global warming takes more than just trees

The MOB Hôtel in Saint-Ouen is was recently transformed into a sustainable fashion haven for fans of vintage and second-hand finds. The vintage market, hosted last September inside the Parisian hotel's gardens, featured an eclectic mix of shopping, workshops, and a thought-provoking talks.

Embracing the "Second Hand September" challenge pioneered by Oxfam, the international poverty-fighting organization, this event aimed to address fashion consumption. The MOB's grounds featured 15 stands highlighting the work of renowned brands like Sarah Sorgelle and Adelana, alongside Oxfam's Dressing Room.

In addition to vintage shopping, attendees participated in upcycling and customization workshops, fostering creativity while promoting sustainable practices. The highlight of the event was a conference led by industry experts Victoire from The Good Goods and Elena sans H who chatted about fashion's environmental impact while sharing ethical solutions for lowering consumption.
