Used Fashion










Aloha to all ..!! Welcome to Used Fashions. As we all know that everyone person on this planet needs clothing. Im sure everyone knows that we had a closet full of cloths. But little do we know that we wear only a small partial of the fully loaded closet? I mean everyone including myself too..

Because of this I had made myself venture into used clothing. This field is actually very well-known in the States, Japan, Korean and etc. It does not only help to save people wallet from going hunger due to all those expensive, branded, fashion and new arrival clothing but also the mother nature.

It is estimated that more than 1 million tonnes of textiles are thrown away every year, with most of this coming from household sources. Textiles make up about 3% by weight of a household bin. At least 50% of the textiles we throw away are recyclable, however, the proportion of textile wastes reused or recycled annually in Malaysia is only around 25%. Where are the rest of the textiles? Inside the cupboard i presume..

Anyway, I started to importing back this pre-owned clothing from oversea back to Malaysia. I must say, the quality is not as bad as I assume... Most of the cloths are still in good condition and still attainable to wear for outings. Price ranged from few ringgit to couple of ten ringgit, depends on the quality, condition and also costing.
