CovertCandy – Sustainable fashion through recycling clothes

Posted on 27 September 2009

CovertCandy is a new concept thought up by 4 graduates with a love of fashion and a desire to make a positive impact upon the environment.

Covert Candy

So how does it work?

CovertCandy is social community where you can get rid of all your old clothes in exchange for credits. With these credits you are then able to buy new clothes from over 4000 other stylish UK fashionistas that have already signed and are busy exchanging clothes for free on the site.

All of us have clothes in our wardrobes that we aren’t wearing, rather than just leaving them unused why not get them up on the site and exchange them for something you will wear. The process is simple: Upload all your old clothes to the site, valuing them in credits what they would be worth second hand in pounds. Once uploaded to the site they will then appear within your profile and search results. Other users can request your items and once they receive the clothes you will then receive your credits. All you are left to do is find some nice items and shop away with the credits you have earned. Risk free, guilt free, and environmentally friendly shopping!

By swapping clothes on CovertCandy users are choosing an alternative to the cheap throwaway fashion that fuels environmental and social issues. Sustainable fashion is about creating processes that have the ability to maintain themselves indefinitely. CovertCandy is providing a solution that needs your help to really get going.

As well as a swapping community CovertCandy also has a vintage store selling Parisian vintage clothes for as little as £5.

Exclusive Competition for GGG Readers!

As an exclusive competition for Green Girls Global CovertCandy are offering 25 free credits (£25 pounds worth) to the user that offers the best suggestion or improvement to their site.  Simply add your comments at the end of this article and CovertCandy will send the credits through by the end of the week.
