The Comédie Française puts its unique costumes on sale every Thursday. Around 60,000 costumes are stored at the National Stage Costume Center.
The initiative was born two years ago out of a need to “ declutter” the reserves of the most famous theater in France. Last year, 400 costumes and accessories left Molière's house. The oldest costumes will be scrupulously studied from one week to the next by Isabelle Benoist and her team of costume designers.
