Her project was born from an unconditional love for fashion, but also from a desire to make beautiful things accessible to everyone, despite budget constraints. The birth of her daughter was a turning point in her life. Camille realized the importance of slowing down the pace and finding a job that makes sense.

That is how she got the idea to create a thrift store that would allow those who cannot afford to buy beautiful pieces of clothing to do so without breaking the bank. "Giving a clothing item a new story is essential," says the young entrepreneur.

collaboration with "Le grenier d'Adélaïde", "If a clothing item can be repaired, we always do it, even if it is torn," she explains. The DNA of La Friperie de Camille is based on recycling. "La Friperie de Camille" offers a selection of quality clothing, ranging from renowned brands to prestigious fabrics such as silk, cashmere, or wool.

"There is something for every budget, with pieces starting at ‐1 up to luxury items," says the young woman.

To build up her stock, the business owner set up collection points in partner businesses in La Londe, allowing individuals to donate their clothes. She also travels to individuals' homes to buy clothes, bags, and accessories. "I pay for the purchases before leaving," she stresses.

"La Friperie de Camille" is not limited to a fixed location. She offers temporary exhibitions, both online and physical, with booking and home delivery options in the region. She has already proven herself by exhibiting at the Les Templiudes senior residence and the Domaine des Myrtes, and plans to participate in the La Londe market.

To give even more visibility to her thrift store, the young woman is developing a website.

She invites everyone to participate in this adventure, whether by donating, selling, buying, or talking about the thrift store. "Every gesture counts to bring it to life," she concludes enthusiastically.

La Friperie de Camille is much more than just a business; it is an ethical, ecological, and solidarity-based initiative that gives fashion a second life. A beautiful story to follow closely!
