We love pre-loved
Thrift+ want to end fashion waste by making secondhand seamless. By building a platform for consumers to sell and
buy in the circular economy, they’re helping redefine the fashion industry.

We partnered with the Thrift+ team to define their positioning and brand strategy, and to translate that into a distinctive brand identity that overcomes the key consumer barriers to buying pre-loved clothing.

THE CHALLENGE
Out of the 100 billion items of clothing produced each year, 70% is sent to landfill or burnt. In other words, we’re overproducing and under-using. But second hand had a problem. We still saw secondhand as fusty. Musty. Dusty. A lot of fuzzy photos and confusing sizing. Stroppy sellers and bossy buyers.

Slow fashion? Yes, please. Slow Post Office queues? No thank you.

STAND OUT AND DISTINCTIVE
"White Bear were awesome at helping us to define our proposition and articulate what makes Thrift+ different – a crucial foundation for our rebrand. The team then skilfully translated the strategy into a distinctive visual identity that we’re really proud of. White Bear are always there to talk and care deeply about their work. Thank you!"

ALWAYS FLATTER.
NEVER TATTER.
Thrift+’s founder Joe, had an idea. Make secondhand smarter. To make it easier to buy and sell pre-owned clothes. To look after every item on its journey from one wardrobe to the next. To turn secondhand into pre-loved. Pack away peer-to-peer.

This identity helps bring Thrift + and preloved into the mainstream, attracting a broader mainstream audience to preloved – from consumers to partnerships. From the vibrant yellow to the bold typography and tone of voice, Thrift+ communicates with confidence and helps overcome some of the key consumer barriers to buying secondhand.

We’re Thrift +. We love pre-loved.

“We’re really happy with the end result. The brand itself is really refreshing. A few decisions we’re glad White Bear pushed through on: the full yellow bags, and leaning into ‘pre-loved’. Thanks for all your work on the project.”
