The whole world is striving with textile waste! Most circular economy-based action plans are mostly based on recycling and sorting and not repairing, re-making, re-using and sharing. How can we combine sustainability, circular economy and women empowering in one practical local and global plan? In today textile market, clothing and textile sales rises while clothing usage has steadily declined! While the cost of repair service is high, the number of service providers is also very limited and considering all thrift solutions, the majority of secondhand materials are still going to Lindfield while it can be used as material. And as the last leg of this international picture, today's available solutions are mostly based on recruiting service providers instead of giving them the opportunity to be the owner of their business which make the sustainability of those models strictly dependent on the those business owners instead of relying on the owners of the practical knowledge and craft. Repasdo is a marketplace for unique, creative services of textile and relevant secondhand materials. It’s home to people providing special, extraordinary services and products, from repaired pieces to handcrafted and vintage treasures. While today’s main trend is into secondhand shopping online solutions, Repasdo focus is to provide possibility to create ‘added value’ instead of pure thrift store business model. By providing business and market opportunity (online store + learning, low cost material & equipment) to potential service providers, secondhand textile can be repaired or be used as raw material for new product (in as many different ways as service providers can manage to come up with). Repasdo Platform (as the first in its market) is to provide a platform for creating jobs, micro and small businesses (own by service providers) while providing practical learning and access to different type of secondhand textile as material and online stores as places for those businesses to thrive. We are three co-founders with background in strategic business and organizational development, application and software development, and fashion design and learning. In addition two of us have long years of experience in humanitarian aid organizations and woman empowering programs. We have strong believe in sustainability and circularity not in relation with of product and service, but as the sole practical concept and business model
