ABOUT US
Let's not gatekeep sustainable fashion.
After ever-increasing frustration with the lack of sustainable and affordable fashion pieces of Hong Kong, Thrift Mint was born with the purpose to breathe new style into our dusty closets. While it may be difficult to keep up with micro-trends, a simple bag or accessory can completely elevate your look.
With growing concerns over sustainability and fast-fashion "hauls", Thrift Mint brings back the fun in shopping, without the guilt.

We ship locally to all districts in Hong Kong and most countries internationally. All our bags are thoroughly inspected for authenticity and cleaned before shipment.
Our Philosophies
waste
With the rise of social media, fashion life-cycles are speeding up in the form of microtrends. Aesthetics go out of style in months.
And yet, that is how fashion thrives and operates. Thrift Mint exists as an alternative platform for those who wish to partake in trendy fashion without contributing to global waste.
erase stigma
Asian stigmas against secondhand items stem from the traditional belief that pre-worn items are unhygienic, or unlucky. On the other hand, shiny new things are meant to express wealth and luxury, driving mass-consumerism.
​
In Thrift Mint, we believe that all worn things reflect the care and love of their previous owners. Care in their maintenance, and love in their wear.
SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainable fashion has been a movement rising in popularity for some time now. However, a simple, ethically made T-shirt can cost up to several hundred dollars (HKD), limiting those who wish to invest in styles but lack the spending power. That is why Thrift Mint offers a diverse price range of second-hand styles. We are committed to providing options to people of all backgrounds through the recirculation of fashion.
intention
Minimalist living describes living with "less", but that doesn't necessarily lead to fulfilment. The solution is intentional consumption.
​
At Thrift Mint, we curate styles for that very purpose. We collect inventory with intention, imagining individuals of different contexts, to help everyone find their individual styles amongst the masses. Let's slow down fashion again.
