Lilja Preloved
We're always up for a challenge! That's why, for the second year in a row, we've teamed up with Relove to find a solution for one of our long-term sustainability goals: extending the lifecycle of every Lilja the Label item. We design our products to last, both for use and for the test of time. However, sometimes we find that the pieces we purchase don't fit us perfectly, or we use them less than we originally thought. In these situations, it's usually a good option to resell the item so it becomes meaningful to another user. But because swimwear is a hygiene product, reselling it can be a challenging task.
That's why we wanted to establish Lilja Preloved together with our partner Relove. Relove is a Finnish 2nd-hand pioneer and a Helsinki-based stationary 2nd-hand store. We accept your used Lilja pieces and give them a new chance through Relove. The selection includes not only items returned by our community but also some of our production samples, prototypes, items worn during photoshoots, and some used favorite pieces from our staff.
In May and June of this year, you'll find our Preloved selection at Relove. Won't be in Helsinki this summer? Don't worry, we plan to offer a selection of used items for our international swim enthusiasts online later this season. Stay tuned!
