Hong Kong’s Retykle opens in Singapore
In this article (5)
Hong Kong kidswear resale platform, Retykle, is set to expand its presence into Singapore, marking the brand’s first foray into an international market.
The Singapore launch follows Retykle’s latest round of seed funding earlier this year, which will support the retailer’s expansion plan in Singapore and Australia. Shoppers in Singapore now can sell and purchase pre-loved children’s designer clothing, gear and toys, and drop off their outgrown clothes at a physical store.
“With its growing appetite for eco-conscious fashion and lifestyle choices, Singapore was a natural second market for Retykle,” said founder Sarah Garner. “We are looking forward to empowering parents to conveniently reduce children’s fashion waste by transforming the way they shop.”
Retykle houses more than 2500 childrenswear brands, including Bonpoint, Jacadi, Petit Bateau, Stella McCartney, Ralph Lauren and Burberry, as well as a selection of maternity wear.
Since its launch in 2016, more than 150,000 products have been recycled through Retykle. Innately focused on sustainability, Retykle was certified carbon neutral last year and plans to continue to be certified neutral or positive in future years.
