The Fashion System Is Broken. Let’s Build Something Better.
About Us
We are two long-time friends, united by our passion for fashion, sustainability, and social impact.
With backgrounds in project management, circular economy, event organization, photography and communication — we came together to create RESTORE, a bold new concept in second-hand fashion.
We believe that Switzerland can become a pioneer in a more conscious fashion culture — one that is beautiful, fair, and circular.
The Problem
Fashion is broken.
We overproduce, overconsume, and discard at alarming rates.
In Switzerland alone, over 100,000 tons of clothing are thrown away each year. Many of those garments are still in excellent condition, yet they are exported or destroyed. At the same time, people struggle to find high-quality second-hand pieces at fair prices, in a setting that feels inspiring and modern.
The Gap in the Market
Fast fashion is cheap — but unethical.
Second-hand is ethical — but often unappealing.
Most options still suffer from:
Poor presentation and curation
Confusing or unfair prices
Doubts about cleanliness
An uninspiring, time-consuming shopping experience
The result? Even people who want to buy better often go back to buying new.
Our Solution
RESTORE is more than a shopping event.
It’s a curated circular fashion experience.
👗 Curated Fashion
Handpicked from private wardrobes & partners, arranged by color and style.
🧼 FreshStart™ Care
Every piece cleaned, renewed, and styled to feel like new.
🪡 Workshops & Talks
Repair, upcycling, styling tips, and inspiring sessions on conscious fashion.
🎶 Community & Culture
DJs, coffee, creative venues — shopping meets culture and connection.
💸 Fair Prices
Every item CHF 5–30: from basics to treasures, affordable for all.
🏬 Always On
Permanent curated racks in partner stores across Switzerland, refreshed daily.
🌐 Platform for Change
Beyond events: tutorials, stories, and a growing community online and offline.
Why We Need Your Support
We’ve already tested our idea in smaller formats — and it works. But to scale up and reach more people, we need funding to:
📣 Marketing & outreach
🏛️ Venues & logistics — renting and transforming inspiring spaces into RESTORE events
🧺 FreshStart™ preparation — professional cleaning, care, and styling of thousands of clothes
🔨 Transport & installation
🪡 Workshops & education — styling, repair/upcycling corners and talks
🌐 Platform creation — digital hub with tutorials, inspiration, and community features
🏬 Partner store collections — setting up permanent RESTORE racks across Switzerland
👥 Jobs & fair pay
🎶 Culture & vibe — DJs, coffee corners
What’s Next
We’re launching in major cities and cultural venues across Switzerland.
After that: cafés, campuses, galleries, and smaller communities.
RESTORE will live on in more than just events:
Permanent partner-store collections — curated racks available every day, continuously refreshed.
Online platform & social media — a hub for inspiration, education, tutorials, and community connection between events.
Our events will rotate regularly — while RESTORE continues to grow both offline and online, making circular fashion accessible everywhere.
This is just the beginning.
