Founded by Irish fashion stylist Isabel Gleeson, ReBride allows brides to buy and resell their wedding dresses online, offering a more sustainable alternative to single-use bridal wear.
As a bride-to-be myself, I know all too well how unsustainable a wedding can be. With such faff around one day, many affordable, single-use items can easily fill up the day. And while eco-friendly choices like biodegradable flatware and dried flowers can make an impact, it seems such a waste to leave our gorgeous wedding dresses in the wardrobe for years to come.
After years in the fashion and styling industry, flitting between London and Dublin, Isabel drew on her experience to found the sustainable resell platform for brides. “I was also living in London for about six years as a fashion buyer and then started my styling and colour consultancy business during Covid in 2020. I noticed from doing all of my styling reports through“Both of these things led me to set up ReBride. Also, living in London, I felt like they were a little bit further ahead than us in Ireland in terms of buying pre-loved and renting. So, I definitely feel like it’s the future for Ireland, and I really want to be a part of this next step.
“The uploading fee is just €20. I will review the information and in a couple of days the dress will appear on the website as its own listing and I’ll give it exposure on my Instagram. The platform is a hub of inspiration for pre-loved wedding dresses and if you are looking to buy one, there are loads of choices there already.
