Question 2

How can I sell my clothes?

Accepted Answer

Is your wardrobe exploding? Would you like to give your favourite items a second life? We are happy to find a new owner for them.

To make sure that your items fit into our selection, please contact us by phone at +41 44 324 24 35 or send us some pictures via e-mail to info@remember-vintage.ch (mailto:info@remember-vintage.ch)or via DM to our instagram @remember_vintage_zurich.(https://www.instagram.com/remember_vintage_zurich/) Please also add a short description: brand, condition, colour, etc. and let us know what your price expectations are. The items should be cleaned and ironed.

Our selling price is then three times the amount you received.

We will get back to you as quickly as possible. In case the items fit into our offer and we agree on the price, you can drop off your items in our store.

You will receive the agreed amount of money from us in cash or via bank transfer.

Question 3

Do you accept everything?

Accepted Answer

No, we unfortunately can't. We like to display few items to make the shopping experience a nice one. We don't accept any fast fashion brands (see "What is Fast Fashion?"). We also don't accept any real fur.
Please consider donating these pieces.

Question 4

What is Fast Fashion?

Accepted Answer

According to Wikipedia, fast fashion is a term used to describe the clothing industry's business model of replicating recent catwalk trends and high-fashion designs, mass-producing them at a low cost, and bringing them to retail stores quickly. This incredible speed at low costs, comes with high cost for the garment workforce. Labor practices of fast fashion are often exploitative, and due to the gender distribution of the garment industry, women are more vulnerable. If you are interested to learn more on the topic, we suggest this article (https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2022-fashion-industry-environmental-impact/?leadSource=uverify%20wall)by Bloomberg or the great movie "The True Cost"(https://truecostmovie.com/) (available on YouTube).

Since we don't want to do any advertising for these brands, we don't mention any examples.
