From One Parent to Another
Rethread started when we struggled to afford school uniforms for our eldest during a tough financial time.
We saw other families facing the same challenge—constantly buying clothes kids quickly outgrow. Meanwhile, perfectly good uniforms were ending up in landfill.
So we built a better way: a dedicated marketplace for schoolwear that’s affordable, searchable, and sustainable.
Rethread helps families help each other—while reducing waste, one uniform at a time.
Rethread isn’t just about uniforms—it’s about community, sustainability, and smarter choices for the future.
We’re more than a place for your new well-looked after school uniform. We’re a community doing good.
Giving Uniforms a Second Life
Every year, thousands of school uniforms are discarded while families struggle with rising costs. Rethread connects parents to buy and sell quality pre-loved uniforms, making school essentials more affordable and reducing unnecessary waste.
Sustainability That Makes a Difference
Fast fashion and disposable schoolwear contribute to landfill waste. By reusing uniforms, Rethread helps cut down textile waste and promotes a circular economy, ensuring school clothes serve more than just one student.
Supporting Families & Schools
Rethread isn’t just a marketplace—it’s a movement. Every uniform bought or sold supports another family, helping parents save money and ensuring kids have what they need to thrive at school.
A Greener Future Starts with Reuse
The fashion industry sends millions of garments to landfill each year—including school uniforms
that still have life left in them.
At Rethread, we’re tackling this waste by making it easy for families to give school uniforms a
second chance. When you buy or sell second-hand, you’re not just saving money—you’re helping
reduce textile waste and protect the planet for future generations.
Together, we’re making schoolwear circular—one uniform at a time.
As someone involved in our school’s PTA, I’ve seen first-hand how hard it can be for families to afford uniforms, especially after growth spurts or changing schools. This platform solves a real problem. I started listing leftover uniforms from our school’s lost property box and was amazed at how quickly they found homes.

This platform ticks all the boxes—affordable, practical, and sustainable. As someone who’s trying to live a lower-waste lifestyle, I was so excited to discover this second-hand uniform marketplace.

My daughter just started prep this year, and I was shocked at how expensive school uniforms are. A friend recommended this platform, and I’m so glad they did. We picked up almost everything she needed—dress, hat, shoes—for less than $100 total.
