L'Herbergement Pop-up Thrift / Dressing Sale

Pop-up thrift as a dressing sale

A modern twist on the classic flea market: clothes, shoes and fashion accessories only, sold by individuals or thrift shops. Appeals particularly to younger audiences keen on sustainable fashion and looking for original or vintage pieces at modest prices.

Friday 25 April 2026. Ideal for refreshing your spring wardrobe. Sellers mostly individuals tidying their dressing, sometimes joined by a few thrift stores with special finds.

What to find

• Women's clothes (dresses, skirts, trousers, tops, jackets)
• Men's clothes (shirts, jumpers, jackets, trousers)
• Kids and baby clothes (sometimes)
• Shoes
• Accessories: bags, belts, scarves, hats, costume jewellery
• Vintage and retro pieces — often highly sought after
• Premium brands at low prices

Why it works

• Eco: extending clothes' life reduces textile-industry impact (among the most polluting).
• Economical: quality pieces at a fraction of new prices, sometimes never worn.
• Fashion and originality: vintage adds character beyond fast-fashion uniformity.
• Convivial: meet sellers, try on (changing cubicles provided), chat.
