Cent Neuf’s second-hand selection at Galeries Lafayette Haussmann

What: French secondhand fashion label Cent Neuf expands its presence with two dedicated spaces at Galeries Lafayette Haussmann, offering curated vintage collections in both women's and men's departments as part of the store's Re-Store initiative.

Why it is important: The partnership highlights the evolution of secondhand fashion retail, where careful curation and artistic direction are elevating pre-owned clothing to compete with new collections in premium retail environments.

Founded in 2022 by industry veterans Mathilde Carles, Gaultier Desandre Navarre, and Alexandre Iris, Cent Neuf is establishing two new retail spaces within Galeries Lafayette Haussmann. Starting January 8th, the brand will occupy 30 square meters in the women's Re-Store section on the third floor, followed by a 55-square-meter corner in the men's department's first secondhand space on January 29th. The label, whose name plays on the French expression for "new blood," distinguishes itself through strong artistic direction and carefully curated collections. Their approach includes sourcing quality vintage pieces from warehouses across France and Europe, professionally cleaning them, and presenting them as cohesive collections priced between USD 20 and USD 500.

IADS Notes: Cent Neuf's arrival at Galeries Lafayette Haussmann expands the department store's circular fashion initiatives. Following the success of (Re)-Store and amid broader sustainable retail developments, this curated secondhand offering reflects the department store's commitment to circular fashion. The partnership aligns with industry trends showing increased collaboration between traditional retailers and specialized resale platforms.
