The Second Life
Give a second life to your archives
Don't lose anything, especially not quality.
After almost 100 years of creation, it was time to breathe new life into these archives, carefully preserved at our customers' homes. These creations bear witness to a history, to historical know-how, to women and men who, generation after generation, have used their skills and talent to create pieces of exceptional quality.
To make this project a reality, we called on the Tissons la Solidarité association. All the pieces collected will be given to the Association, which will be responsible for upcycling them, in order to resell them in its solidarity points of sale.
THE SECOND LIFE
How does it work?
Do you have Devernois pieces that you no longer wear? Don't throw them away, and instead bring them to your favorite Devernois boutique!
All the collected pieces will be given to the Tissons la Solidarité Association, which will be responsible for upcycling them, in order to resell them at a reduced price in the 125 solidarity points of sale in its network. Your old Devernois clothing will therefore be cleaned, mended, mended, transformed, customized to make a brand new garment!
THE PARTNERSHIP
Let's weave solidarity x Devernois
Tissons la Solidarité is a social and professional integration network founded in 2004, specializing in the recycling and recovery of textiles. The association brings together 70 organizations whose main mission is to combat unemployment and precariousness, particularly among women, to facilitate the return to sustainable employment and to achieve a return to employment rate of more than 70%.
The association is developing several areas of intervention:
- Textile management : collection, sorting, washing, ironing, sale and alteration of second-hand clothing
- Professional integration : employment of 1,900 employees in integration per year, 83% of whom are women
- Training : offers qualifying training in textile sales, alterations and upcycling
The Association's goal is therefore multiple: to raise awareness among consumers about more responsible fashion and the circular economy, but above all to encourage the return to employment of around 2,000 employees per year (83% of whom are women), whatever their professional background, by training them in textile professions.
Which parts are affected by the Second Life?
The items that you drop off in store must comply with certain rules:
- Only Devernois parts can be deposited in store
- The piece must be in good condition, without stains, signs of wear or tear, without discoloration or fading.
- Composition and size labels must be present on the piece
Accessories (leather goods, shoes, stoles and scarves), furs and items that are not Devernois items will not be accepted.
How can I participate in the operation?
All you need to do is go to one of our stores with your Devernois clothing(s) to donate, and our advisors will be happy to collect them in order to pass them on to the association.
What is the amount of the gift voucher generated following my donation?
1 clothing deposit corresponds to a Devernois gift voucher of €20.
The gift voucher is valid for 1 month in the Devernois store of your choice (excluding e-shop and factory outlet) from 100€ of purchase (excluding accessories). It is not refundable in cash, neither totally nor partially, even in the event of loss, theft or exceeding the validity period. It cannot be combined with other vouchers on the purchase of the same item, and cannot be combined with current offers.
