Brand Mission
Our Story.
Thrift Be Told began as a small, community-led event in Sydney’s Sutherland Shire, created to bring together people who love quality preloved fashion and the thrill of finding something special.
Since then, it has grown into a series of curated preloved fashion events across Sydney, connecting thoughtful sellers with shoppers looking for beautiful, well-kept pieces — from contemporary favourites to vintage and designer finds.
We’re driven by a simple idea: to make choosing preloved feel easy, enjoyable and worthwhile. By giving great pieces another life and creating a space for people to buy and sell more consciously, we hope to make considered fashion choices feel like second nature.
Our Values
Sustainability
We believe great fashion deserves more than one life. By creating a space for quality preloved pieces to be bought, sold and loved again, we’re helping reduce waste and encourage more thoughtful fashion choices.
Community
Community has been at the heart of Thrift Be Told from the beginning. Our events bring together sellers and shoppers who share a love of preloved fashion, great finds and the experience of shopping in person.
Quality
Quality matters to us. We encourage sellers to bring well-kept, thoughtfully presented pieces that are ready to be worn and enjoyed again - from contemporary favourites to designer and vintage finds.
Accessibility
We want buying and selling preloved fashion to feel easy, welcoming and enjoyable. Our events offer a relaxed way to clear your wardrobe, find something special and take part in the preloved community.
Empowerment
We want people to feel confident making more considered choices about their wardrobes. Whether you’re selling pieces you no longer wear or choosing preloved instead of new, every small decision helps give great fashion another life.
Integrity
We believe in being clear, fair and genuine in everything we do. From how we communicate with sellers to the experience we create for shoppers, we want Thrift Be Told to feel trustworthy, welcoming and true to its values.
Innovation
We’re always looking for better ways to make preloved fashion easier to buy, sell and enjoy. As Thrift Be Told grows, we’ll keep evolving our events, seller experience and community offering while staying true to what made it special in the first place.
