Beginning With Preworn

 

Preworn was founded in 2019 by two individuals with a vision: to counteract the environmental impact of fast fashion and the growing culture of disposable clothing. What began as a humble operation from their kitchen table—sourcing second-hand items from charity shops and has evolved into something much bigger. Today, Preworn is one of the top sellers of  used clothing in the world, with a large warehouse based in wales, holding over one million pieces of pre-loved clothing.

 

At its heart, Preworn remains true to its roots. The company started with the belief that second-hand clothing could provide value not only to consumers but also to the environment. The company continues to re-home thousands of garments every month, clothing that might otherwise end up in landfills.

The warehouse not only signifies the growth of the business but also its commitment to sustainability, as Preworn processes and recycles a massive volume of clothing, providing a greener alternative to fast fashion.

 

Seeing the rise in demand for second-hand clothing, the founders launched Preworn Wholesale. This branch of the business was created to help other small resellers by offering bulk clothing at affordable prices. Preworn Wholesale is designed to support those reselling businesses that are looking to scale in a world where sustainable fashion is gaining momentum.

By providing resellers with access to large volumes of quality second-hand clothing, Preworn Wholesale is empowering others to enter the market and grow​.

 

Preworn wants its customers to understand that they're not a big, impersonal corporation.

The founders remain passionate about their mission, and they want their buyers to know that they’re investing not just in clothing, but in a larger story. Every item sold contributes to reducing fashion waste and promotes a sustainable future. Preworn customers are part of this journey, helping to extend the life cycle of garments and supporting a community-driven approach to fashion.

In partnering with Preworn, resellers aren’t just purchasing items—they’re investing in their businesses and the future of the fashion industry. 

Whether shopping for personal use or sourcing items for resale, customers play a role in promoting circular fashion. Together with Preworn, they’re making an impact, one garment at a time​.
