Description
REZKE's main objective is to keep quality clothing in circulation and thus prevent the generation of textile waste. The popularity of second hand shops has increased significantly in recent years and REZKE has taken advantage of this. From Košice, where there are up to two stores, the company has expanded to several cities in Slovakia. Currently, their shops are located in Košice, Bratislava, Banská Bystrica, Trenčín and Žilina. In addition, there is also one outlet in the Czech Republic. REZKE also offers those interested in doing business in this area the so-called franchising, which is doing business under their REZKE brand.
Shopping in REZKE stores is easy:
1. Just bring quality, clean and undamaged items of clothing to the REZKE store.
2. It is necessary to stick to the seasonality of clothes - i.e. from 1 September to 1 March it is possible to wear autumn and winter clothes to the shops, and from 1 March to 1 September spring and summer clothes.
3. The staff at the REZKE shop will take the clothes and check them. Pieces that are in excellent condition are then priced.
4. Within 10 days, the customer will be credited with 50% of the price of the clothes brought in, which will be offered for resale at REZKE.
5. Credits can be redeemed by the customer on their next purchase at REZKE up to 50% of the price of the goods purchased.
6. Clothing that is not suitable for sale in REZKE will go to charity.
Economic benefits
Maintaining a trendy wardrobe doesn't have to be financially challenging in terms of buying new clothes all the time. Customers earn credits for the clothes they bring to the store, which they can use to purchase second-hand clothing.
Environmental benefits
The price of cheap clothes (fast fashion) is too high for our planet. Fast fashion is polluting the environment, so buying new clothes is a huge environmental burden.The solution is to limit purchases in fast fashion stores and prefer second-hand purchases or clothing swaps, which are better for the planet.
Examples of implementation of the solution in practice
From the original concept of SWAPs of clothing, which took place in Košice, REZKE has grown to several cities. Nowadays, up to 7 shops operate under the REZKE brand. They help prevent waste and clothes that would normally end up in waste bins are given a second chance.
