The ReLuxury & Barnes Pre-Loved Luxury Show Is Coming This November

With a steady stream of fashion, jewellery and art shows taking place all over the world, it was only a matter of time before we saw one dedicated to pre-loved luxury. The first show of its kind, the ReLuxury & Barnes Pre-Loved Luxury Show is about to launch its debut edition in Paris – and we have all the details.

The ReLuxury & Barnes Pre-Loved Luxury Show 2024: What To Expect

What Is The ReLuxury & Barnes Pre-Loved Luxury Show?

The ReLuxury & Barnes Pre-Loved Luxury Show is a new trade show in Paris that will focus on the circular economy for luxury and prestige goods. A collaboration between Swiss trade fair ReLuxury and international luxury real estate company Barnes, it’s the first event of its kind.

The show, which will be open to both industry professionals and the general public, will feature exhibitors, workshops, and talks that highlight the circular economy, including reselling, repairing, and recycling. Visitors can also bring their own items to be appraised and potentially resold.

‘ReLuxury was established to promote circularity in the luxury sector through the acts of reselling, restoring, upcycling, authentication and traceability,’ say the team behind ReLuxury. ‘This trade fair is a unique event, inviting aficionados and collectors to discover, share and acquire rare, authenticated pieces and to receive a valuation of and resell luxury possessions.

‘The Pre-Loved Luxury Show also spotlights innovative start-ups, enterprises that offer a new and more sustainable approach to luxury,’ they continue. ‘These initiatives champion the use of recycled materials, upcycling as well as new consumer practices like renting or repairing, thereby embodying a future where luxury and the circular economy coexist in harmony.’
