Not another instagram thrift shop

Image
 If you a frequent Instagram user then you must have come across at least 3-4 different online thrift pages; individuals going to lunda/sunday bazaar, buying in bulk and then selling on margins through Instagram.  The word 'thrifting' seems to be trending these days and a couple of our customers have used the same word to explain their experience with us. But it's important that we draw a clear line between the other online thrift pages and our 'buy and sell' model. For starters, we are NOT a thrift store. Yes, we sell preloved items but that doesn't make us a thrift store. Our items are not meant to be sold or purchased for pennies. Your experience of buying through online thrift page will be entirely different than buying from us. Likewise, the quality of the product you will be getting from an online thrift store will differ greatly than a product you buy from us.  So let's discuss how our 'buy and sell' model differs from other thrift pages on in...

5 Reasons why preloved is pure happiness

Image
Haww haye?? yh Landaa hai?  You must have heard the word 'landa' a million times with derogatory connotations, matlab k haw haye 'used kapray' 'second hand things' bla bla. But let's be honest, degrading preloveds is pretty much similar to the mentality promoting whitening creams. Jaisay gora hona zaroori hai waisay hi kapdon ka 'new' hona zaroori hai. It's just another one of the many mental barriers that we have created to complicate our lives. But let's face it, preloved is the smartest and the most ethical way to go about fashion.  Let's talk about 5 reasons why buying pre-loved is the best way to go about life:  1.   Environment! Environment! This one reason trumps all. By making small decisions such as buying pre-loved, you're creating a HUGE impact in this world. By buying one preloved clothing piece, you can take half a million cars off the road in terms of carbon foot prints. HALF A MILLION CARS!    2.   It obviously allows y...

This topic is very close to our hearts and a major driver for sisterhood.pk. Through this article we hope to share some concrete facts with you on how little changes in our decisions can have magnificent impact.  Fast Fashion, is a phenomena where clothing brands have developed new distribution strategies, enabling them to bring new fashion trends into their retail outlets every couple of week.

What Sisterhood.pk stands for ..

Image
The purpose behind sisterhood.pk goes beyond providing cheaper alternatives to the over-priced fashion items in the retail outlets.  The essence of our business as referred by the name 'Sisterhood' is to empower women to work with each other to create a women oriented market place and  build a better sustainable environment. We don't only wish to encourage women to make money through this platform but also intend on normalizing the idea of 'pre-loved' items.  Among many stereotypes existing in our culture, a generic disdain towards second hand (used) items has clouded our logical thinking for decades. Used items are perceived to be worn only by the people from 'lower income group'. This, however, is far from truth. People around the world are adopting to the pre-loved lifestyle. Sadly, in our culture; even among the people who buy used items, many of them would never want to reveal. This is the issue we have chosen to talk about through sisterhood.pk i.e the...

About Us

Who are we? We aim at providing cost effective solutions to all the fashion lovers. In the days of fast moving fashion, women now have new incoming options to shop from on daily. As trends are changing quickly, our closet sizes are increasing with stuff we either don’t wear anymore or just forgot about. Too many things not only keep us burdened as they are hard to manage but also have money tied up. We think the smartest way to go about fashion while managing your money wisely at the same time, is to sell your accessories and clothes after you have worn them. This doesn’t only enable you to get rid of extra items but also allows you to make room for new trends in your closet. Thus, the goal is to induce the spirit of de-cluttering and providing a new home to your used items. Remember, Sharing is caring! How we work? Sisterhood.pk is an online buy and sell platform for pre-loved items. This means that we won’t only be providing you with cheap alternatives to buy from but also wi...
