is resale through the lens of waste: a concierge-style fashion recycling service that’s based on the distribution of clothes & textiles across anyone who needs, wants, or can make the most of them.
Multiple distribution for maximum impact—across the entire spectrum of secondhand fashion.
50% fashion, 50% climate anxiety.
In other words,

Some of them you can resell for some $ or consign for more $$.
Some of them are needed by grassroots orgs & nonprofits that only take things their local communities are actively looking for.
Some of them can be made into new fabric, redesigned from scratch, or be repurposed as not-clothes, like insulation or cleaning rags.
And some of them just need to be disposed of in the least wasteful way possible.
And yet.
Most reselling options require too much effort for arguably not that much value.
Most clothes we give away via the traditional nonprofit donation cycle don’t actually get to the people who need them.
Most fabric recycling solutions are only available to businesses.
And most sustainability™ claims out there are often green speak & datawashing.
References will pay you upfront for your nicer resellables while also handling your donations & unwearables, with a goal to find the best possible destination for any piece of used clothing and make sure it won't go to waste—literally.
Resell, Repair, Recycle—Re-everything. We do it all, bringing together all possible routes of the complicated fashion recycling labyrinth in one straightforward service:

1 - We’ll pick up any clothes, shoes, and accessories from your door, anywhere in NYC. Any number, any brand, any condition.
2 - We’ll send you a first estimate in days—approve and we’ll get to work, trying to get you even more $$ for your nicer pieces, all while handling everything else too.
3 - Within a few weeks, you’ll get a full pickup debrief & a final payout. We’ll show you where everything goes with real data—and ask for your Venmo :)

So, again:
