Inside ThreadPLUG

We started in 2018

We love sourcing quality, unique garments at an affordable price. We shared that with friends, and now we’re a sustainable fashion brand modernizing the thrifting experience.

Our vision is to destigmatize second-hand clothing and promote circular fashion by making it more accessible, convenient and fun to shop for. Beyond the deals, thrifting is a conscious effort to promote sustainability in fashion and save vintage clothing from landfill.

Our process

Every piece is checked before you see it.

01

Collect

We gather second-hand garments from different sources around the world.

02

Inspect

Every item is sorted and carefully inspected by hand.

03

Grade & clean

Clothing that meets our standard is graded by quality and condition, cleaned and put up for sale.

04

Revamp or recycle

Pieces with permanent stains or defects are set aside to be revamped or recycled.

Save the planet

Fashion is among the most polluting industries globally. Millions of garments are made every day with harmful chemicals, and many end up in landfill. Wearing second-hand extends a garment’s life, reduces the need to make new clothes and saves natural resources. You’re a hero.

Express your style affordably

Whether you’re finding your style or expressing your individuality, thrifting gives you high-end brands, new or barely used, at a fraction of their actual cost.

Shop with conscience

Chasing fast-fashion trends is exhausting and expensive, and perfectly good clothing is discarded daily. Choosing second-hand gives pre-owned items a second chance and supports circular fashion.
