Dublin-Based Colour Consultant and Stylist Launches ReBride, an Online Wedding Dress Resale Platform
Isabel Gleeson, a Dublin-based colour consultant, fashion buyer, and stylist, launched ReBride, an online wedding dress resale platform, after selling her own dress the day after her wedding. Gleeson sold her €5,000 silk organza gown for €2,800, which inspired her to create a platform where brides could buy and resell bespoke gowns. ReBride now has over 600 wedding dresses available on the site, offering a cost-effective and eco-friendly option for brides-to-be. Gleeson’s vision for ReBride is to promote sustainable and conscious choices in the wedding industry, while also allowing brides to spread the joy of their special day by giving new life to their pre-owned dresses.
A champion of sustainability, the stylist is now hoping to shine a spotlight on the pre-loved wedding market.
“Our aim is to create a place where past brides can connect with future brides. It is estimated that a bride will only wear her dress for 13 hours on average. After this, rather than have these dresses sitting in your closet gathering dust, why not make some of the money you spent on your dress back?”
Celebrity and Trendsetters Inspire Rise in Pre-Loved Wedding Dresses, ReBride Offers Simple Solution
The rise in pre-loved wedding dresses has been influenced by celebrity trendsetters like Jennifer Lopez, who wore a classic floor-length white gown with a high neckline for her wedding to Ben Affleck in Las Vegas in 2022. According to global shopping platform Lyst, searches for pre-owned wedding gowns were up 103% in March 2021, while Google searches for “used wedding dresses for sale” have increased by 100% over the past five years.
ReBride, an online wedding dress resale platform, offers a simple solution for brides-to-be to find and resell bespoke gowns. For a one-time fee of €20, sellers can upload photos of their wedding dress and keep all of the commission from the sale once they find a buyer. ReBride promotes sustainable and eco-friendly choices in the wedding industry while also offering an affordable option for brides who want to look stunning on their special day.
ReBride Offers Highly Sought-After Designer Brands and Accessories
ReBride, an online wedding dress resale platform, features highly sought-after designer brands such as Rime Arodaky, Suzanne Neville, and Halfpenny. The site also offers trendy accessories such as the Loeffler Randall Camellia block heel, which sells out quickly. ReBride provides a simple solution for brides-to-be to find their dream dress without the stress and expense of visiting flagship boutiques.
One bride was able to find her dream dress in her size from a past bride in Ireland through the platform, saving her the trip to the Suzanne Neville flagship boutique in London. ReBride also helps brides-to-be find outfits for events beyond the wedding day. The platform is promoting sustainability and eco-friendly choices in the wedding industry, while also offering affordable options for brides who want to look stunning on their special day.
