The value of a garment doesn’t end with the one who lets it go, but with the one who chooses it with love.

Luxury & Vintage Market for Every Budget!

May 9–10, 2026 | Hotel Pestalozzi, Piazza Indipendenza 9, Lugano

Every piece has a story. Let it continue with you.

The Luxury & Vintage Market returns for its 17th edition at Hotel Pestalozzi: two days dedicated to circular fashion, where quality, authenticity, and unique pieces selected by industry professionals and private exhibitors come together.

May is the perfect time to refresh your wardrobe with intention: make space, lighten up, and choose more consciously.

Second hand is not just a sustainable choice, but a smart way to give value to what already exists and discover garments with a story.

Among renowned brands, accessible finds, and one-of-a-kind pieces, every visit becomes a different experience—where you can find something that isn’t for everyone, but only for those who truly recognize it.

DISCOVER WHAT’S NEW IN THIS EDITION:

💫A space dedicated to carefully selected emerging young designers—an area where you can discover wonderful original creations, new visions, and fresh proposals presented directly to the public.

💫A brand-new addition: an entire stand dedicated to baby luxury, featuring selected clothing and accessories for the little ones, always focused on quality and style, to delight both parents and their children.

💫New private exhibitors with curated selections and particularly attractive prices, making the Market even more accessible and diverse.

💫Completely renewed collections, with new arrivals and previously unseen pieces compared to past editions.

💫Reimagined stands and more space for visitors, allowing for a smoother and more comfortable experience even during peak times.

Organizer La Ghianda by Simona Trabucco

My name is Simona Trabucco and, in addition to organizing the Luxury & Vintage Market (I worked as a manager for many years and I love “organizing”!), I am deeply passionate about and dedicated to the study of shamanism and esotericism.

The practices I offer, rooted in the imaginal-archetypal vision, have transformed my life. They allowed me to move beyond a victim-based and painful perspective shaped by deeply traumatic experiences, and to embrace a more ecstatic way of living. For several years now, I have lived in an immensely creative dimension—so much so that I left a secure and financially rewarding career to begin my journey with La Ghianda in 2016, a journey that has become a true success story.

Since then, after several years of training and personal transformation, I now work in my studio in Lugano and online as a Family Constellations facilitator with an imaginal approach, a Practitioner in Imaginal Regression and Progression, an Imaginal Counsellor certified by SGfB (Swiss Association for Professional Psychosocial Counselling), a Tarot reader (Jodorowsky method), and a Keeper of Stories (Metafiabe method and Fiababiography by Paola Biato).

In Switzerland and Italy, especially during the Olistic Holidays, I lead group seminars in Family and Socio-Professional Constellations, initiations as a Keeper of the Mother Mantra and Teacher of Shamanic Yoga, as well as seminars dedicated to Fiababiography using the Metafiabe Method. I also hold a certification in Bhakti Yoga from Yoga Alliance International and a 200-hour Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training (also certified by Yoga Alliance International).

I never stop exploring and getting to know myself. Since 2023, I have been part of the SAT School (Seekers After Truth) by Claudio Naranjo, mentor of my beloved teacher Cristóbal Jodorowsky. I am deepening my studies in the Psychology of Enneatypes, Archetypal Theatre, Free Movement, and Vipassana Meditation.

I have been teaching, studying, and practicing the ancient art of Tarot since childhood, when my mother gifted me my first mysterious deck along with a book explaining all its secrets. For several years, I studied with and collaborated alongside Cristóbal Jodorowsky, organizing a “Psychotheatre and Tarot” event in Switzerland at the Teatro di Chiasso with 400 guests, and attending his Metamundo school in Psycho-shamanic Constellations, Tarot, and Psychomagic, as well as many experiential seminars. I also attended advanced seminars on the method of Alejandro Jodorowsky with Marianne Costa and tarot readers trained directly by Alejandro or Philippe Camoin.

I have obtained several diplomas and completed important trainings, including becoming a Metamedicine Consultant. I have also been a passionate student of Evolutionary Astrology since childhood.
