SPRING-SUMMER 2023
SECONDE VIE
Our circular economy approach to not lose anything and to sublimate everything.
Our collections are created to follow you over time. Second Life was born from the desire to allow the swimming suit you no longer wear to go on to new adventures. Resell a swimwear you no longer like and find (perhaps) another one, repaired, handmade and at a low price!
HOW DOES IT WORK?
COLLECT
Give us your old swimming suit (in good condition),
in one of our shops. In exchange, you will
receive a Ysé gift card!
SUBLIMATE
The association H.A.W.A. au Féminin accompanies
us to wash, mend and sometimes hand
embroider these new swimming costumes.
RESALE
The swimwear is back, shinier than ever:
in Paris, in our pop-up at 45, rue du Temple
or in Marseille in the shop at 6, rue Sainte.
Circularity and solidarity
For all these steps, we were very lucky to meet H.A.W.A au fémininto associate circularity and solidarity. This team of creative women take care of the laundry and repair or transform the small defects into handmade embroideries for unique pieces of swimwear (See for yourself!).
H.A.W.A au féminin
Around Hawa Sangare, its founder, H.A.W.A au féminin is a team that promotes the reintegration of women who are far from the labour market. They are trained to break social isolation and gain autonomy and financial independence through a unique project in favour of sustainable development.
