The Preservers Club: Catalysing a Global Fashion Circularity Movement

The Preservers Club was born from a deep-seated frustration and a spark of inspiration. As fashion industry insiders, we witnessed firsthand the alarming amount of well-designed, high-quality items being discarded, while ultra-fast fashion continued to grow at an unprecedented rate. This paradox struck us: why were beautifully crafted pieces ending up in landfills while people clamoured for the latest trends?
We realised that the desire to look fashionable in quality clothing doesn't have to conflict with environmental consciousness. This epiphany led us to create The Preservers Club, a platform providing exceptional value to fashion enthusiasts while promoting sustainability.
Our journey began with a simple idea: what if we could create a community where fashion lovers could exchange their well-preserved pieces, giving each item a new life and a new admirer? The response from our test round have been has been positive. Users have embraced the concept, appreciating how it allows them to refresh their wardrobes with high-quality items without the guilt of contributing to fashion waste, at a cost that is lower than getting fashion fashion pieces.
What sets us apart is our unique credit system, which encourages members to invest in more qualitative pieces. By assigning higher credit values to well-crafted items, we're shifting the paradigm from quantity to quality, prompting a reevaluation of fast fashion habits.

Looking ahead, we envision collaborating directly with retail stores, creating their own circular programme and network, commissioning designers and providing users with easy, transparent mending services. These initiatives would further our mission of promoting sustainable fashion without compromising on style or quality.

The Preservers Club isn't just a swapping platform; it's a movement towards a more sustainable and stylish future. We're proving that looking good and feeling good about your fashion choices can go hand in hand, one preserved piece at a time.

The Preservers Club embodies a holistic approach to sustainability;

Planet: By facilitating the reuse of fashion items, we're actively reducing the demand for new production, thereby minimising the fashion industry's environmental footprint. Each swap represents resources saved and waste diverted from landfills.
People: We're fostering a community of environmentally conscious individuals, empowering them to make sustainable choices without sacrificing their style. Our platform also promotes a sharing economy, connecting people through their shared values and love for fashion.
Profit: Our innovative credit-based trading system ensures financial sustainability while staying true to our core values. By offering both monthly subscription and pay-as-you-go options, we've created a flexible model that caters to different user needs while maintaining a steady revenue stream to support our operations and future growth.

As the founder of The Preservers Club, I am driven by a vision of a world where fashion and sustainability coexist harmoniously. With a background in fashion design, I recognised the urgent need for innovative solutions to address the fashion industry's environmental impact. The Preservers Club is the culmination of this vision – a platform that not only facilitates sustainable fashion choices but also educates and inspires a global community to rethink their relationship with clothing. I believe our model can serve as a blueprint for future community-based circular fashion initiatives, catalyzing a worldwide shift towards mindful consumption and setting a new standard for how we value and exchange fashion.
