Fashion and thrifting lovers should make a beeline to the newly opened Secondhand Pop-Up by Hong Kong environmental NGO Redress!
Running from Nov. 12 to 17, 2024, this event is an absolute must-visit for anyone who loves great style and sustainable fashion.
Every second, the world sends an entire rubbish truck of textiles to landfills or incinerators, according to a report from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation. But Redress is turning that grim statistic on its head with a bold, stylish solution. This event is your chance to take home a fabulous range of preloved clothing and accessories — from luxury brands to high fashion labels — starting at just HK$50.
The large assortment of clothes for sale is part of Redress’ Takeback Program, which collects unwanted garments from across Hong Kong and gives them a second life. With 26 collection points in the city, your preloved clothes could be part of this sustainable cycle, helping shape a future of circular fashion.
The pop-up also features the Redress Design Award 2024 Finalists Exhibition, where you can get up close to the latest sustainable collections straight off the runway, including the Winner Tiger Chung's design. Using discarded materials, these up-and-coming designers prove that “luxury” isn’t just about new – it’s about reinvention.
There is also the chance to shop the latest sustainable creations from Redress Alumni designers, Eric Wong and Lola Clavel. Check out Tiffany Pattinson’s Shell Scapes: Reforming Waste exhibition held at the pop-up, showcasing her stunning pieces made from unwanted garments collected through the Takeback Program. There is even a Kids’ Corner where your little ones can play and read books.
Redress accepts cash, Visa, MasterCard, UnionPay, and American Express. Pro tip: Bring your own bag to keep things green!
