Refash Revenue and Competitors

Reinventing what it means to buy and sell secondhand fashion -REFASH is Singapore's largest online and offline thrift store. Aloysius (Founder & CEO) started REFASH to make it convenient for women to clean out their closet and shop for quality secondhand clothes. He was inspired by his observation of his wife's wardrobe situation: despite a bursting closet, only 30% if the clothes were worn frequently. Many of the pieces, despite their excellent condition, ended up being discarded to make space for more shopping. To Aloysius, that meant an unnecessary waste with larger consequences on the environment. Thus, to reduce clothing wastage within the fashion industry, Aloysius decided to deliver a delightful, frictionless secondhand experience to both buyers and sellers. REFASH was founded in 2016 with an unique proposition: "Bring us your pre-loved clothes and we'll do the rest.”. Sellers are able to sell their clothes at any REFASH outlet, where their clothes will be able to find a new home. From a small outlet in City Plaza, REFASH has processed over 220,000 pieces of clothing that would otherwise have gone to the landfills. REFASH has now expanded to 10 physical stores, offering a frictionless thrifting experience for women islandwide. With REFASH, shoppers now get to shop popular local brands like Love Bonito, MDS, The Tinsel Rack to international brands such as Zara, Pomelo and River Island, all at a fraction of its original price. REFASH has transformed what it means to buy and sell secondhand fashion, and hopes to ignite a new generation of women to "think like-new" for a more sustainable future.
