Reskinned’s Takeback Black Friday: Swap impulse for impact

This is why we’re doing Black Friday differently.

While Black Friday can mean scoring a discount on something you’ve had your eye on for a while, it often also leads to overconsumption.

This leaves our homes, recycling centres, charity shops, and landfills full of unwanted items. It’s estimated that 80% of items bought on Black Friday, along with their packaging, end up in landfills, often unused, adding millions of tonnes to worldwide waste.

We’re not about to jump on the trend and offer flashy deals - even though our products are already sustainable and more than deserving of new homes.

We don’t want you buying more than you need, only to see it gather dust when someone else could be wearing and loving it instead.

The Reskinned Black Friday Takeback: Why get involved?

If the idea of Black Friday doesn’t sit right with you, and you want to make a positive impact instead, then taking part in one of our takeback schemes is a great way to do it.

Send us your pre-loved clothes via one of our takeback programmes and we’ll reward you with your brand takeback voucher, plus £10 off your next order at Reskinned.

This offer’s only valid between the 25th of November and 9th of December, and there’s a minimum spend of £30.

And no, you don’t have to shop on Black Friday to get the discount. In fact you have twelve whole months to spend it at your leisure, though with the new stock we’ve got coming in every month, we have a feeling it won’t take you that long!

You know as well as we do that your wardrobe is long overdue a clear out, and this is the perfect opportunity to make some space, instead of adding to the pile. That way you’ll be able to see the wood from the trees - the clothes you actually wear from the ones you never will - so you can make more mindful shopping choices in the future.

To keep things fair, you can only get the discount once per person, so use it wisely!

The Reskinned Black Friday Takeback: How It Works

Forget the limited-time, high pressure discounts.

This Black Friday Reskinned are doing things differently. We’re rewarding you for clearing out the stuff you never wear from the back of your wardrobe, so there’s more space for the stuff you actually like. Sound good?

Step 1: Clear out your wardrobe

This is your opportunity to get rid of absolutely everything you don’t wear, so don’t be shy. That itchy jumper, those unflattering jeans, the top with the spaghetti stain that isn’t going to ever come out - it’s time to go. Make more space for the things you feel good in, and bag up everything else to send to us.

There’s no limit - you can send one thing or a hundred things, from one of our brands or all of them (that’s a challenge!) New with tags, or worn to death, we want it all.

Step 2: Add them to your takeback basket

We’ve got an easy online tool for you to select the things you’ll be sending us. Just click here select your brand, and add your items to your basket. We’ll then give you step-by-step instructions for what to do next.

Step 3: Send us your old stuff

Package your items up in whatever you’ve got on hand. We don’t want to create any unnecessary packaging waste, so feel free to reuse a delivery box or bag you’ve got at home. As long as it’s packaged securely, we don’t mind what it looks like.

Step 4: Shop sustainably

Once we’ve received your trade-in we’ll verify it and send you an email with your discount codes for qualifying items.

You’ll get the normal discount code to spend on the brand’s website, plus your £10 voucher to spend at Reskinned (on a minimum order of £30).

Make sure you send your items between the 25th of November and the 9th of December 2024 to claim your Reskinned voucher.

Then you’re ready to shop! Your £10 voucher is valid for an entire 12 months, so no need to rush. *

What happens to the things you send to Reskinned?

Unlike most standard takeback schemes and donation bins, we never send anything to landfill, which means no matter what condition something you send us is in, we find the best route for it to go down.

For the clothes and accessories that are still in good nick, we find them a new home through our resale platform, and for anything that’s not quite in perfect condition (perhaps it’s gone bobbly or has some wear, but still has a bit of life left) we find a new home with someone who will love it using one of our trusted partners.

Anything that’s far past its best is either upcycled by one of our designer partners (read more about them here) or recycled in the best possible way, saving it from any possibility of ending up in landfill.

By clearing out this Black Friday instead of shopping (or even as well as) you’re saying no to overconsumption and choosing the sustainable choice. With your 20% discount, you can shop at your own, slower pace and make conscious shopping decisions that save you money, and save the planet.
