My Ex Wardrobe Online goes live! Find your
perfect fashion bargain and turn your wardrobe into cash at the touch of a
button
Have nothing to wear (yet again) at this weekend’s brunch? In desperate need of an affordable designer
outfit, or simply something more unique?
The solution to your perpetual outfit anguish is here, My Ex Wardrobe,
the Dubai based fashion community for lovers of pre-owned clothing and
accessories has officially launched its new online portal, which offers an
exciting new opportunity for followers-of-fashion with an eye for a steal. The online community provides the ideal
solution for those looking for a pre-loved designer piece, or a bag-full of
high street bargains, without spending sinful amounts of cash.
Recent research conducted in the UK (WRAP 2012) shows that a
staggering $48bn worth of clothes haven’t been worn for a year, averaging
$1,600 per household – this is just as likely to be an issue in the affluent
UAE, where over 90% of products bought are shipped in and half of those are
clothes and other fashion items.
Sian Rowlands, the co-founder of My Ex Wardrobe, had the idea of
starting My Ex Wardrobe one afternoon at lunch with her sisters whilst discussing
what to do with the items that had fallen victim to a recent
wardrobe-purge. She knew a lot of her
friends were facing the same dilemma so she set about creating a marketplace
where women can take their unwanted clothes, shoes and accessories that are new
or nearly new, and give them a second chance at happiness!
“Our concept is very simple; we believe that looking fashionable
doesn't have to cost a fortune, and in a city of excess like Dubai we need to
start embracing the ethos of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Re-own. We've had such a fantastic response from busy
professional women who are on the look out for new concepts that solve a
problem; can they shop to their hearts content without the pricey sting at the
cash-till. When you combine that with a
fun ladies night where they can share drinks with friends and get their nails
done for free – and you've got a perfect evening out! We're looking forward to welcoming this
growing group of ladies (and gents) to our exciting online community, that
isn't just about clothes but bringing like-minded fashion-lovers together.”,
said Sian Rowlands.
By listing pre-loved fashion items for sale, My Ex Wardrobe also
offers women and men a great new way to earn a little extra cash, either for
themselves or their favourite charity.
If you or any of your friends have any amazing clothes to sell, this is
the place to do it!
Contemporary, vintage and high street women’s, men’s and
children’s wear are accepted on the site, as long as they are in good
condition. Brands currently being sold
through My Ex Wardrobe include; BCBG Max Azria, Giorgio Armani, Marc by Marc
Jacobs, Burberry, Reiss, Coast, Zara, Topshop, and many many more.
Established in May 2011, and winner of the Emirates Woman ADCB
Ambition Award and SME Advisor Stars of Business Incredibly Innovative Approach
Award both in 2011, My Ex Wardrobe is already gaining a name for itself in the
region through organising monthly, pre-loved fashion pop-up-shop events. The events combine affordable fashion with a
chance to mingle and be pampered. The online
avenue is the natural progression; building on the fast growing success of
online retail in the region.
