Behind the scene:
Embark on a journey through Lingobilia's captivating story!
Federica and Francesca, the Italian twins from Verona with a deep passion for fashion and sustainability. Growing up in a large family, they were often dressed in hidden treasures found at thrift shops, igniting their creativity and a lifelong love for reimagining second-hand clothing.
Federica, now based in Paris since 2020, has began transforming pre-loved garments into chic, Parisian-inspired pieces, collaborating with talented interns from top fashion schools in Paris. Together, they breathe new life into these garments, blending Parisian elegance with sustainable fashion in the RE-PARIS collection.
The result is a a playful and eclectic mix of lace, patchwork, embroidery, denim, quirky and unusual French words woven into the designs, all inspired by the vibrant colours of the French flag, bringing a touch of Parisian flair and fun to upcycled fashion.
Meanwhile, her twin, Francesca, adds her artistic flair from Birmingham, UK, bringing Lingobilia's visuals to life.
After seeing the joy and excitement from models, photographers, and curious tourists during the photoshoots, the twins decided to offer a new experience.
Customers can now RE-wear the collection by renting the pieces and booking a personalized photoshoot, allowing them to step into the world of Parisian style and channel their inner Amélie Poulain or Emily in Paris – but with a recycle twist - feeling like the star of their own story.
