ABOUT US
At REFASH, we believe in a sustainable fashion future.
Thrifting is more than just finding amazing deals on your favourite brands. It’s about shopping with intention and standing for sustainability. The clothes we wear have the power to create change.
Women don’t wear more than 70% of what’s in their closet.
OUR STORY
In 2016, Aloysius Sng, the founder of REFASH, was inspired by his wife's wardrobe, noticing a closet full of unworn clothes. Despite their excellent condition, many pieces were discarded to make room for more shopping. Recognizing the value in these unwanted items, Aloysius embarked on a mission. In just 7 years, we've successfully found new homes for over 3 million fast fashion pieces, positioning ourselves to revolutionise the way people buy and sell secondhand fashion.

The future of fashion is circular - and we plan to keep it that way.
In a world where textile waste is increasing at an alarming rate, with a truckload of textiles being sent to landfills or incinerated every second, it becomes evident that textile waste is not solely an issue within the fashion industry but a collective problem. As landfills continue to expand, it becomes crucial to prioritize the circulation of clothing and prolong their lifespan.
At REFASH, our mission is centered around extending the life of clothing as long as possible, including items that may not meet our stringent quality guidelines.
Which is why we started the Recovery program.
