We Started in 2018 with Our passion for shopping and sourcing quality and unique garments at an affordable price, we shared this experience with friends and now, were fast becoming a sustainable and environmentally conscious fashion brand with a vision to modernize the thrifting experience, destigmatize the use of second-hand clothing and promote circular fashion. We are doing this by making second-hand clothing more accessible, convenient and fun to shop for. Also, beyond the amazing and affordable deals that you get, thrifting is about making a conscious effort to promote sustainability in fashion and saving vintage clothing from landfill
Our Processes
We collect second-hand garments from different sources around the world, after which they are sorted by carefully inspecting every item. The clothing that meets good standards is graded according to its quality and condition, cleaned and put up for sale. The clothing with permanent stains or defects or both is set aside for revamping or recycled.

Save the planet
Did you know that it requires about 70 gallons of water to make one T-shirt?
The fashion industry contributes the second highest amount of pollution globally. Every day, Millions of garments are produced with very harmful chemicals that are dangerous to the environment and a great number of garments end up in landfill. So when you choose to shop and wear secondhand clothes, that means you have decided to extend the life span of the cloth, thereby reducing the need to manufacture new clothes and saving the limited natural resources needed to produce them. This simple act does make a difference. You are reducing pollution and keeping waste out of landfill, you’re saving the planet. You’re a hero.

Become an ethical and conscious fashion consumer.
Keeping up with the constantly updated fashion trends from fast fashion brands can be exhausting and expensive too. Perfectly good clothing is being discarded on a daily basis. It is actually left to us to make conscious efforts to reduce waste. By choosing second-hand clothes, were giving preowned items a second chance and promoting circular fashion. We are doing our bit to tackle the fashion crisis and working collectively towards a cleaner planet.
Also, thrift stores are the best place to get items for your DIY projects which is a form of recycling.
