OUR ΜISSION

Our mission is to address environmental issues, climate change, and the impacts of overconsumption . We are committed to inspire people to restate thrifting - thrifting is for everyone regardless of body shape, gender and socioeconomic status.

We contribute to the configuration of a culture of ethical consumption.

The black-and-white photo shows the front of a closed store with a metal security gate covering the window. On the left side of the image, various articles of clothing are hung on hangers and hooks attached to the gate. The clothes include a dark blazer, a sleeveless top, a pair of patterned pants, and a light-colored blazer with a round, textured handbag hanging from its shoulder.

To the right of the clothes, a handmade sign is attached to a concrete pillar. The sign reads, "Good things come to those who thrift," in bold, all-caps lettering. The words "who thrift" are slightly larger than the rest, emphasizing the message. Below the sign, graffiti covers part of the concrete pillar. The scene conveys a sense of urban character, with a mix of second-hand items and street art adding to the atmosphere.

OUR VISION

The image shows a dimly lit room with a table at its center and several racks of clothing on either side. The table appears to hold items like folded clothes, accessories, or vintage objects, illuminated by overhead spotlights. A person is partially visible on the right, but the lighting renders their features difficult to discern. The overall atmosphere suggests an indoor thrift store in Cyprus.

" Our vision is to become a trusted platform that supports the audience within and outside the community. We aim to eliminate barriers to sustainable consumption, ensuring that thrifting becomes the first choice for everyone."
