PRELOVED IS ALSO A POP-UP SHOP, GIVING NORTHERN IRELAND’S PLANNING COUPLES THE BOUTIQUE EXPERIENCE ENHANCED BY THE EXPERTISE OF TWO BRIDAL SEAMSTRESSES ON HAND TO ASSIST WITH ALTERATIONS, ADVICE AND CUSTOM CHANGES THAT MAY BE REQUESTED.
WHO IS PRELOVED?
PReloved was successfully launched at the end of 2022 by three Banbridge businesswomen, all of whom have a wealth of experience within the bridal industry. Their combined experience permits a secure and knowledgable base to assist brides to buy and sell with confidence.
SELLING WITH PRELOVED
So many beautiful expensive gowns languish in dark cupboards, in boxes under the bed or in bags in the attic, never to be seen, loved or appreciated again. Some are there due to a change of heart…it’s no longer The One. Many are still there because the process of selling privately is fraught with scams. Some sellers prefer to remain anonymous, which PReloved can guarantee, removing all of those barriers because they can sell your dress for you!
BUYING WITH PRELOVED
The range of gowns and dresses at PReloved is vast, with a plethora of styles, sizes and of course every price point to suit every bride. Some dresses can be purchased for as little as £100! PReloved offers lightly loved gowns, unworn ex-samples, discontinued gowns, brand-new dresses and designer gowns at a mere fraction of the original cost. And not just wedding dresses! PReloved also has a fashionable selection of accessories that will complete your vision: veils that will elevate your style, bridesmaid dresses to perfectly complement your gown, dresses for the flower girls, and of course, for mums – the perfect outfit and hat and all at a fraction of their original cost.
SUSTAINABILITY
Buying and/or selling with PReloved ensures that not just the local economy benefits but that Northern Ireland brides do too, and that is of the utmost importance to PReloved’s mission – that past brides have a professional platform that helps them to draw back some of their costs, and that brides-to be are able to buy the gown of their dreams for less! To date PReloved has returned 25k into the hands of Northern Ireland brides while saving future brides upwards of 15k!
THE FUTURE IS NOW!
PReloved continues to grow and is accepted as a cost-effective platform for both the buying and selling of quality wedding attire and accessories.
With the launch of Preloved’s website (coming soon!), they will be providing a further avenue for bridal clients to buy and sell with confidence from the comfort of their homes at a time most convenient to them, while still offering the opportunity of having their gown included at the pop-ups
PRE-LOVED WEDDING GOWNS
PReloved is an alternative shopping experience for the bride who cares for the environment, who cares for her finances, who understands that with a little imagination and the skills of an expert seamstress her dream gown is right there at a fraction of the cost!
