This month Reincarnation Club will open its doors in Exit Here, Crouch End.
Invincible clothes in a life affirming funeral directors.
Reincarnation Club offers the opportunity to have a special item of clothing, that once belonged to a loved one, redesigned and recreated into something wonderful. Clothes, like people, should be celebrated rather than forgotten in the back of the wardrobe.
Reincarnation Club will offer a place to share stories, appreciate great pieces of clothing, remember the people who originally wore them, and commission bespoke items. If you’re in the area why don’t you pop in with an item and find out more.
THE REINCARNATION CLUB RULES
First rule of Reincarnation Club - you talk about Reincarnation Club.
Second rule of Reincarnation Club - you MUST talk about Reincarnation Club.
Third rule of Reincarnation Club - every item in the club is brilliantly unique.
Fourth rule of Reincarnation Club - every item in the club has had a past life.
Fifth rule of Reincarnation Club - nothing looks old, poorly up-cycled, or anything less than fabulous.
Sixth rule of Reincarnation Club - every item’s second life is exponentially more stylish than its first.
Seventh rule of Reincarnation Club - all owners are proud of their piece’s provenance.
Eighth, and final rule of Reincarnation Club - anyone can join by buying a reincarnated piece, donating an old item to be reincarnated*, or by starting your own Reincarnation Club.
*Bespoke and special reincarnation requests are always welcome. If there is an item that you love but no longer wear, or a family hand-me-down that’s seen better days, or even a set of curtains that really would prefer to be beautiful shirt, why not get them reincarnated into something wonderful?
