Refashionable

How We Work

Refashionable is a concept built around the 3 'R's: Reuse, Recycle and Refashion.

Ever conscious of the impact that clothing industries have on the world's environment, Refashionable is a website that only trades in pre-owned items or new items that are made from recycled materials.

As well as offering visitors a wealth of learning resources and a marketplace for trade, we also give traders an easy way of supporting a charity of their choice by integrating a system that allows you to donate sale proceeds directly to a charity of your choice.

Refashionable is primarily a site for you to trade pre-owned clothing, accessories and footwear.
