Our Story

October 2013 The VIS IB Course (International Baccalaureate) met Miss Chiara Cattai from an NGO which is involved in voluntary activities to support the human development and international cooperation. Chiara proposed us to collaborate with her as Entrepreneurs of a Sustainable Activity of Reuse by collecting clothes, hand accessories and trinkets.

Therefore IB students started their Vintage Company What we did and how we did it…

November 2013 We decided to collect accessories and trinkets to be sell during an event organized in December by Vintage Fashion Show We started to be entrepreneurs !

We spread the information in the school,visiting the other classes, making posters to advertise our collection of vintage costume jewellery. We also informed our families,relatives and friends.

Our bijoux collection In our Company every team had a role: The administrators, the advertisers the marketing administrators, The packaging designers By the end of November we collected a lot of trinkets. We gave a price ( from €1 to € 8 )we registered the list of objects and their price : € 380 in total! Ready for the Fashion Show!

The most beautiful, funny clothes, bijoux and accessories were put up for the Fashion Show in a big Turin ‘s discoteque.
