Les Rebelles d'Anvers

Clothing libraries are the perfect remedy for overconsumption. Everyone loves to replenish their wardrobe every once in awhile, yet consuming at such high speed puts enormous pressure on the entire system. The principle of leasing and returning clothes, by contrast, allows for some variation in your wardrobe, without having to buy new items all the time. Inspired by French and Dutch initiatives, the first Flemish clothing library, Les ReBelles d’Anvers, will open in the spring of 2016. The focus will be on Belgian fashion, both online and offline.
