OUR STORY

TURNING RAGS INTO SUSTAINABLE FASHION

Mohammed Nasser, a visionary entrepreneur with a profound passion for fashion, identified the industry’s worrying environmental impact. He noticed that fast trend cycles foster a culture of overconsumption, resulting in an astounding amount of textile waste. Nasser built a secondhand store chain to oppose the quick fashion craze, determined to challenge the status quo and contribute to a greener future.

His thrift store chain represented an excellent shift in the fashion business, influencing mindful shoppers and designers alike. Nasser continued to source items from his warehouse through collaborations with recycling centres and environmental organizations, sparing thousands of pounds of textiles from ending up in landfills. His secondhand store chain now exemplifies the power of persistence and ingenuity in promoting sustainability and disrupting the current quo in fashion consumption.
