Frequently Asked Questions

Simply put, the second life fashion movement is halting the fast fashion industry and “throw‑away” culture that our society has adopted in favour of a circular and sustainable way to find incredible clothes at amazing prices.
 

For us, second life means top‑quality pre‑loved clothes and amazing end‑of‑the‑line garments that would otherwise end up in landfill.
 

If it’s a marvellous piece you can bet that we will save it, launder it and/or up‑cycle it.

you in the most ethical and eco‑minded way possible.
