5 Reasons why preloved is pure happiness



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 you to live in a budget! We spend 1000s of rupees in shopping every month but with preloveds, we can bring down that expense by half. Imagine all the things we can do with the money we save by buying preloveds. It enables you to be fashionable in the most cost-effective way possible. Make financially smart decisions, buy preloved!

 

3. You don't have to wait for sales to grab the item you like. Through preloveds, you get your hands on the trendiest of the items in a price much better than the sale price. Ps, let's face it, if something is on sale, chances are that everyone around you will have it. It takes away the 'uniqueness' but with preloveds, there is only one item and if you get your hands on it first then only you have that!

 

4. Most of us don't have access to international brands because majority of them don't even have their stores in Pakistan. And not all of us can be travelling around the world. But with preloveds, you can get your hands on the cutest bag someone got from Srilanka or the sexiest heels bought from America. It's an amalgam of fashion around the world!

 

5. Preloveds allow you to keep the fashionista in you alive and dancing! How do you stay trendy without feeling guilty about spending so much money? Buy preloveds, sell the clothing items you don’t use and buy more with money you made. It’s a perfect recipe for fashion lovers :')

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...

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...
