Thanks for shopping secondhand at our Summer Pop-up!

We had a fun and fulfilling week in July sharing our selection of secondhand styles with you at our summer pop-up at Taikoo Place. Thank you to our incredible team of staff and volunteers who signed on to help make this event a success!

Missed the preloved gems at our pop-up or want to keep supporting our secondhand styles? You’re welcome to visit us year-round at our permanent secondhand shop on 78 Apliu Street, Sham Shui Po! Follow us on Instagram @TheRedressCloset for all the latest on secondhand shopping, including updates on our next big pop-up!


 
 

The Redress Closet pop-up and workshop at Goethe Earth Day Eco-Fair

Joining the Goethe-Institut’s Earth Day Eco-Fair on 31 July, where talks, workshops, and stalls were presented by local environmental and creative groups, The Redress Closet hosted a pop-up shop for fashionable secondhand clothing. Our staff also delivered a book reading and upcycling workshop based on our comic book, Yoyo and the World’s Coolest T-shirt.


 
 

Warehouse backlog cleared by volunteers

Thanks to our community and corporate volunteers, the 7-tonne backlog of clothing sitting in our warehouse has finally been sorted and been given new life. The clothes are now in the good hands of our charity partners, with the best going for resale at our secondhand store The Redress Closet, and others ready to be downcycled.
