The Story Behind TROUVAILLE
ABOUT THE FOUNDER:
Welcome to TROUVAILLE! I am Christine, living between Munich and Berlin, and founder of TROUVAILLE.de store: your ultimate destination for a curated, eclectic mix of unique, colorful fashion pieces.
At TROUVAILLE, we believe in the power of pre-loved treasures and handmade creations that carry their own unique stories. Each item is carefully selected and either pre-loved or from local artisans around the world, supporting their communities and bringing the joyful holiday vibe straight to your home.
TROUVAILLE, which means "something lovely discovered by chance" in French, perfectly captures the essence of my collections. It symbolizes my deep appreciation for finding unique or pre-loved pieces, often unexpectedly, during my travels. From the bustling markets of India to the hidden gems in Ghana and Myanmar, I've always been drawn to those special treasures waiting to be discovered. I believe in the power of pre-loved pieces telling their unique stories and that every item has value and deserves a second life.
With a background in business and experience working with major Beauty & Tech companies, I realized it was time to embark on a more creative and entrepreneurial journey. A journey where I could combine my passions for fashion, interior design, and traveling, while also making a positive impact on the communities I encountered along the way.
This adventure is not just about finding beautiful unique pieces, but by supporting TROUVAILLE, you become part of a community that celebrates individual style, promotes circularity and empowers women across the globe.
Thank you for joining me on this mission!
ABOUT THE TROUVAILLE x SAHELI FASHION COLLECTION:
The idea to make new and colorful co-ord sets from pre-loved saris already came to my mind some years ago, while traveling through Sri Lanka seeing clothes made from up-cycled saris. When I learned about Saheli Women - a non-profit organization based in India that empowers women through skill development and economic opportunities - the TROUVAILLE x SAHELI collection finally came to life, as championing the ethical aspect of this idea was very dear to my heart.
Next to many beautiful moments during all my travels, I became very aware about many individuals facing immense challenges due to socio-economic disparities which fueled my determination to start a fashionable brand that makes a positive impact in this world. By partnering with Saheli Women I am able to combine both topics at the same time.
Together, we can make a difference and you can be a part of a meaningful journey, that embraces individual style with circularity and female empowerment. I invite you to explore my curated collection, to immerse yourself in the stories behind each piece and discover your own favorites. Thank you for joining me on this mission!
