At the event, people can walk in with their old clothes and swap them with items available in the shop after they are evaluated by the team.  Sana, who is professionally a dentist, shares, “We wished to do something in fashion but also wanted to support an important cause. It started with a small donation drive in my garage, and I had over 100 people at my doorstep the next day. That’s how I realised the need for a thrift store.”

The store is modelled along the lines of walk-in thrifting spaces overseas. They run small pop-ups on a regular basis and hold a 100 per cent charity event every quarter. The store has collaborated with celebrities including Vir Das, Monica Dogra, Shriya Pilgaonkar and Malvika Sitlani, who have sold their closets to raise funds for causes that are close to their hearts. They also restore vintage items such as books, working typewriters, and cameras.
