Rue de la Tour, in Thionville, La Réserve lives up to its name. Between clothes, shoes and accessories, this tiny second-hand fashion store offers a wide choice to those who want to get dressed for cheap.
At the helm of this singular universe, we find Brigitte. “It will be twenty-two years since I opened! “, she specifies, a way of demonstrating that this particular market has had followers for a long time. “I discovered the world of second-hand goods by working at L’Accroche-Cœur, a shop on Place Marie-Louise. I liked it, I took the plunge…” L’Accroche-Coeur has disappeared, but La Réserve is still there.
The shop is actually a consignment store. “In the beginning, I had a lot of clothes that I unearthed myself, but little by little, the consignment store took over the thrift store. Specializing in women’s wardrobes, Brigitte says she has loyal customers in all age groups. “Many bring back the clothes they no longer want and immediately buy them back. They self-finance their purchases. »
The shopkeeper observes the new generations turn more easily to her store, which offers mainstream brands and sometimes a few nuggets.Before the start of the school year, she knows that teenagers will come and push the door of La Réserve “for ecological and economic reasons as well”. With prices between €3 and €100, there is indeed plenty to find what you are looking for.
