Wholesale vintage clothing

Wholesale vintage clothing, graded by the people who own it.

We buy vintage clothing by the container, sort and grade every piece in our own hubs, and sell it to trade buyers worldwide. You get a described grade, a known origin and a photograph before you commit — not a sealed bale and a hopeful conversation.

Why buying from an owner is different

Most wholesale vintage passes through brokers. A broker lists stock they have never touched, takes a margin, and passes your complaint back up a chain that may be three companies long. When a bale is wrong, nobody owns the problem.

We buy the container outright before it ever reaches you. It arrives at a hub we run, our team opens every bale, and we put our own grade on every piece. If a shipment is wrong, it is wrong against our standard and we fix it.

That model costs us more and ties up our own capital. What it buys you is a grade that means the same thing every time.

The grading standard

Three grades, defined once, applied by the same teams in the same hubs.

GRADE A

Retail-ready

Shop-floor condition, no repairs needed.

No holes, no stains, no fading beyond what the piece is meant to have. Hardware works, seams are sound, labels are intact. These go straight onto a rail with a price tag.

Typically bought by: Vintage boutiques, curated online sellers, premium market stalls.

GRADE B

Commercial

Sound and sellable, with honest wear.

Light wear, small marks, or fading consistent with age. Nothing structural. Most buyers sell these as-is at a lower price point, or clean and press them into A-grade stock.

Typically bought by: Market traders, high-volume online sellers, regional wholesalers.

GRADE C

Workwear, rework and upcycle

Material value: repair, remake or cut.

Damage, heavy fading or missing hardware. Bought for the fabric, the hardware and the cut. The denim and workwear in this grade is often the most valuable to the right buyer.

Typically bought by: Rework studios, upcyclers, textile recyclers, repair-and-resell traders.

How an order works

From the container landing to the stock reaching your door.

  1. 01

    We buy the container outright

    Suppliers in the USA, Australia and Europe submit what they have. We review it, agree a price and buy it. No consignment, no commission split — once we buy, it is ours.

  2. 02

    It ships to our hub

    Freight to KEPZ Karachi or Jebel Ali Dubai, tracked from collection to arrival. Logistics cost is recorded against the lot so every piece carries its true landed cost.

  3. 03

    Sorted, graded, labelled

    Our hub teams open every bale, sort by category, grade each piece A, B or C against a fixed standard, and label it with a QR code tied to its lot and origin.

  4. 04

    Priced and published

    We price per piece or per kilogram, publish to verified buyers, and group the best pieces into curated drops and auctions.

  5. 05

    You order, we ship

    Order online or bid in an auction. We confirm, invoice on Net 30 terms, and ship from the hub nearest you with full tracking.

Common questions

What is the difference between buying per piece and per kilogram?

Per piece means each item is individually graded and photographed, and you see exactly what you are buying. Per kilogram means the stock is sorted to a category and grade and priced by weight, which is cheaper per item and suits volume buyers. Most categories are available both ways.

Can I order a sample before committing to volume?

Yes. Most new buyers start with a small per-piece order or a single bale to check our grading against their own standard before scaling up. We would rather you did that than take a container on trust.

How often does new stock arrive?

Containers land continuously and stock is published as it is graded, so the available list changes weekly. Approved buyers are notified when a drop matching their categories goes live.
