The concept
OUR VALUES
The pleasure of doing
things well
Favour local know-how, highlight a beautiful material, a simple and impeccable cut to the detriment of the useless and the futile.
- Cuts that highlight the person wearing the garment and their personality.
- An almost unlimited choice of materials to allow you to finally realise the garment of your dreams.
- Short, local production and purchasing channels to avoid wasting precious resources.
- No intermediaries to offer you an affordable price.
- Made-to-order production to eliminate overstocks and avoid waste.
All this without compromising, neither on the simple – nor on the exceptional.
OUR APPROACH
Our ambition is to redefine the fashion value chain.
Eco-responsible initiatives are flourishing at a time of collective awareness of the negative impact of fashion on the environment. And that’s good! But what if we started by producing only what our customers want to wear?
We incorporate several innovative technologies that mean we no longer have to compromise. Neither on the quality, the preservation of our resources, nor on the choice!
At Vestiaire Personnel, no star designer who imposes a unique vision of what is beautiful, but a designer who listens to her customers.
No forced labour in distant factories, but a handful of family workshops in France. We make your clothes according to the rules of the art and respect for the human values dear to us.
No fabrics bought on the other side of the world, woven and dyed in unacceptable conditions, but from suppliers in France, Italy and Switzerland. They respect European ethical and safety rules.
There is no outrageous marketing to convince you to wear a fit or a colour, but freedom of choice is guaranteed.
TECHNOLOGIES
From 3D visualization to creating your unique pattern on demand, traditional sewing transposed to the 21st century.
Creation of your unique pattern
- When you choose a style option, for example, a cuff at the bottom of the leg, we create the pattern corresponding to your choices in a fraction of a second. This is made possible thanks to the digitization of the patronages and an innovative technique consisting of preparing our patterns like a Lego® game box. All you have to do is choose items, and the pieces will magically fit together on our server!
- A consequence of this technology is that each pattern is saved as a computer file that can be used again to sew a new, identical garment. Have you ever dreamed of being able to redo a garment that you loved to wear years later? It is now possible!
3D visualization of your creation
- Unless you are perfectly trained and know our patterns by heart, it is impossible to imagine an element, not on the model photographed. That’s why we also modelled all of our patterns, including each of their variations, in 3D. When you choose an option, a message is sent to our servers to search for this visual and offer it to you in your browser window. All in a fraction of a second.
- We also wanted to integrate this cutting-edge tool to allow you to visualise the colours of our many fabrics on the model of your choice. Fancy a peach or rather coral silk top? The difference is sometimes subtle, and there is nothing like being able to see both colours to choose from.
ORIGINALLY…
At the origin of Vestiaire Personnel, there are childhood memories.
Memories of hours spent dreaming in front of a wardrobe filled with magnificent fabrics patiently and passionately accumulated by a mother in love with beautiful things.
Memories of hours spent sewing clothes in the fabric of your dreams and hours of adjusting them to perfection.
Memories of the pleasure of slipping into this patiently crafted, unique garment in which you feel so strong.
Memories of compliments received for a spruce green pencil skirt sewn at 16.
After long years of scientific studies and a successful career in the industry, our founder wanted to rediscover the simple pleasure of finding and finally wearing the clothes she wanted.
From this desire was born the idea of Personal Vestiaire, based on our conviction that each woman should freely choose what she wears, without injunction and constraint of the standards of the season and fashions.
Our collections
Over the months and seasons, the Vestiaire Personnel ephemeral collections evolve according to our desires and yours and come to spice up and enrich our permanent collection.
On the one hand, a permanent collection made up of timeless and essential clothes, to be worn on a daily basis. This collection is guaranteed to be available for years to come so you can recommend your favourite clothes over and over again, in a new fabric or colour. A unique pattern is created for each of your orders and is saved in your profile. Use it as you see fit, ask us, for example, to redo these wide pants in which you feel so good in white, black, red, blue, cotton, wool, linen … No limits!
On the other hand, temporary collections that reflect our favourites finds and little follies; models or exceptional fabrics are available only for a short period.
All of this is naturally made possible thanks to our unrivalled fabric catalogue from which you can choose the colour and material of your dreams. Whether it is machine washable wool for your pants or GOTS certified silk for your new blouse, we offer hundreds of references to build your wardrobe as you wish.
