About Us
The fashion world has captivated us for half our lives. The possibilities and tastes are endless. But we can all agree on one point: you feel most comfortable in your favorite outfit. And of course this also includes handbags and
Accessories. But we quickly realized that it is not always easy to have a passion for fashion as a young person. Especially if you want to afford a designer piece, you have to dig deep into your wallet. That's why we discovered when we were at school that it's much cheaper to give things that have already been worn a second life. And what could be nicer than bringing great joy to the other person with things that one person no longer needs?
We live in 2022 and climate change is on everyone's lips: resources are becoming scarcer and the weather is becoming more extreme. This makes it all the more important that we reuse things and not buy new ones. That's why we've made it our mission to make our small contribution to Switzerland
to do this: Sell used original designer handbags at affordable and fair prices in a climate-friendly way.
Who we are:
Leon Wolf, founder, 22 years old and student in Bern.
« I've been passionate about secondhand since I was at school. I have bought everything used, from the wardrobe to the bicycle or polo shirt. I think the idea that beautiful things bring joy to a new owner and continue to be used is wonderful. And of course, especially when you're still in training, you're happy to be able to buy something much cheaper than the retail price. So I started earning pocket money early on by selling second-hand clothes. »
« The start of my studies in 2020 fell during the Corona lockdown. There were practically no jobs for students and most of life took place online. That's how Lotta and I started showcasing handbags we had worn via Instagram and giving them a second chance. It was fun for us and after a short time we founded the Instagram account “vonsecondhand” . Today, two years later, we are a GmbH and can launch our online shop. »
