Valentino Vintage, the project dedicated to circular fashion and focused on luxury brand Valentino’s pre-owned pieces, is making strides in its global expansion with the opening of three new locations in major fashion capitals. London, Paris, and Seoul will now join the ranks of Milan, Tokyo, New York, and Los Angeles in hosting the brand’s vintage fashion addresses.
In an exciting development, Valentino has also initiated a creative collaboration with the esteemed editorial platform, 1 Granary. The aim of this collaboration is to raise awareness among international students about the significance of archival fashion. The project involves seven design schools across different cities, who will receive donations of archival items from Valentino. By offering these valuable pieces, the label hopes to provide students with a deeper understanding of its rich heritage.
Valentino Vintage’s journey began online in February 2022 and expanded to selected vintage stores worldwide in April. These stores have gained recognition for their curation of iconic looks worn by influential cultural figures, including renowned musicians and drag queens. Through this initiative, customers now have the opportunity to sell their own Valentino items, further promoting the brand’s commitment to circularity.
The global network of Valentino Vintage currently comprises seven distinctive addresses: Madame Pauline in Milan, New York Vintage Inc. in New York, Recess in Los Angeles, The Vintage Dress in Tokyo, Plaisir Palace in Paris, Rellik in London, and Janemarch Maison in Seoul.
Through the addition of these fresh locations and the ongoing partnership with 1 Granary, Valentino Vintage is expanding its worldwide presence and reinforcing its dedication to sustainability in the fashion industry. By breathing new life into pre-owned luxury items and engaging with future fashion professionals, Valentino Vintage continues to make a positive impact on the sector.
