Brand Mission
Our Story.
Thrift Be Told began as a small, community-led event in Sydney’s Sutherland Shire and has since evolved into a year-round destination for thoughtful, sustainable fashion. What started in person now extends online, making it easy to buy and sell quality preloved clothing, with Australia-wide postage available.
We’re driven by a simple idea: to make more considered fashion choices feel effortless. By encouraging people to clear out what they’re no longer wearing and to choose preloved before buying new, we’re helping sustainable fashion become second nature — one well-loved piece at a time.
Our Values
Sustainability
We believe in the power of thoughtful consumption. By promoting the reuse and recycling of preloved fashion, we aim to reduce waste and lessen the environmental impact of the fashion industry.
Community
Our roots are in the community, and we strive to maintain that connection as we grow. We bring people together through our events and online platform, fostering a sense of belonging and shared purpose.
Quality
We are committed to offering high-quality preloved clothing that’s in excellent, ready-to-wear condition. We believe that sustainable fashion doesn’t mean compromising on style or quality.
Accessibility
We want sustainable fashion to be accessible to everyone, not just in the Shire but across Australia. Our platform is designed to make buying and selling preloved clothing easy and convenient for all.
Empowerment
We empower individuals to make thoughtful choices about their wardrobes. By choosing preloved, you’re not only saving money but also making a positive impact on the environment.
Integrity
We operate with honesty and transparency in all our dealings, whether it's with sellers, buyers, or community partners. Trust is at the core of our relationships.
Innovation
We continuously look for new ways to improve our platform and enhance the experience for our community, from event management to the online shopping experience.
