I created my FFF (F*uckFastFashion) brand MaisonCléo in 2017, at the same time as I entered Vestiaire Collective as the VIP service team manager. These two experiences; from one side creating clothes made in deadstock luxury fabrics only, all handmade-to-order and custom-made; and the other side curating the best vintage treasures from all over Europe at the VIP service; have brought me into creating my own second-hand selling place that I called "It Already Existed (so no need to buy it new)" in 2020. 

​

I have always been a collector of vintage pieces, always being in love with all unique pieces I could find and have always bought them even if they were not my size so it was time to create a place to share these gems to others! As most of them are in my wardrobe and never worn, but just here for the pleasure to admiring them. I had too many project at a time so it only lasted 6 months at the time but the meeting with my farmer boyfriend last year made me want to start it over again.  

​

Last year in 2022 we fell in love in Italy and enjoying natural moments and sharing same life ideas since then ended up in wanting to be back in this project together. We share the same values in our everyday life and in what we do : me deeply fighting against fast fashion with MaisonCléo and him with his organic farm Les Festins de Julien producing old varieties - that means we have as well the same love regarding clothes : always looking for buying unique vintage pieces of clothes that tell stories. So for the relaunch of IT ALREADY EXISTED in May 2023, my boyfriend will take care of a men curation here. I don’t know anything about men fashion, but I will let him handle this part with his treasures!

​

There is no special moments for new drops as I am thrifting and finding new vintage gems every weeks so stay tuned here for news being added and on my Instagram @italreadyexisted as well as stories sales will happen as well!
