La Citad'Elles, Nancy's fashion consignment shop
This high-end women's fashion consignment shop, set at the foot of the Porte de la Craffe, gives lovely pieces a second life. You can uncover branded, often luxury clothes, shoes and accessories, in a smart and responsible spirit.
How consignment works
The idea is simple: individuals bring in their clothes, which are then offered in store. So you find a selection that changes often, as new items arrive. It is the perfect spot for lovers of good deals and more sustainable fashion, who prefer giving pieces a second life to buying new. Every visit holds its surprises, and you can come back regularly without ever finding the same stock. A more responsible and more affordable way to treat yourself during your stay.
A high-end selection
This consignment shop is not limited to clothes: you will also find shoes, leather goods, jewellery and accessories, often high-end. The brands on offer are both contemporary and vintage, and you regularly come across major luxury names, from Chanel to Dior and Gucci. It is a chance to access designer pieces at far gentler prices than new. A real find for treating yourself to a branded accessory or an exceptional outfit without blowing your holiday budget.
A treasure hunt
Rummaging through a consignment shop means embracing surprise and the thrill of finding the perfect piece. Every visit is different, and you sometimes leave with a real gem, a bag or a jacket you had given up hope of finding. The careful selection makes the search easier, while keeping that playful side unique to second-hand. It is a friendly shopping experience, a world away from the anonymity of big stores. A good excuse to explore Nancy's old town, mixing business with pleasure.
At the foot of the Porte de la Craffe
The shop is in Nancy's old town, at the foot of the Porte de la Craffe, a heritage setting ideal for a stroll.
