Des décorations de Noël et des habits de fête solidaires

There are several good reasons to purchase second-hand Christmas decorations and festive clothing... These items span all eras and styles, and come at very advantageous prices. They are often in excellent condition, almost like new! By buying pre-loved items, we give a second life to garlands and evening dresses, while supporting organisations committed to charitable projects that create jobs!
