About Thryft
Hello! We're an online thrift store built and based in Singapore, making shopping secondhand an easy choice for you!
Our journey began in 2019...
...when a bunch of us — students from the National University of Singapore — decided to shake things up.
We were eager to create a circular economy of good and saw the potential of e-commerce for preloved items. With a mission to unlock value for our users and community, we crammed as many books as we could into our dorm rooms and launched our first pilot right on the NUS campus.
And the rest is history!
Making thrifting a breeze
We've spent years bouncing between the drawing board and real-life tests, building, tweaking, and perfecting our platform.
Our mission? To make secondhand shopping accessible, convenient, and super simple for everyone.
To do so, we build recommerce systems, machine learning models, and AI to help us classify, inventory, and price all the fantastic preloved goods we take in.
Doing our best for the planet
When you shop with Thryft, you're not just getting awesome preloved books and clothes—you’re also saving thousands of trees and millions of liters of water!
Plus, we’re all about sustainable packaging. We even gift wrap local orders without tape, because we know shopping sustainably online can be a challenge. It takes a bit more time, but it's worth it for the environment!
Recycling responsibly
We want you to have an amazing thrifting experience with us. That’s why we’re picky about the quality of the books, clothes, and items we offer. But don’t worry — we do our best to recycle anything that doesn’t make the cut. We responsibly send those items to our recycling partners, making sure nothing goes to waste!
Giving back to our community
When you donate your items to us, you're not just decluttering—you’re making a real difference!
We convert the credits from your donated items into cash after they are sold, and donate to nonprofit organizations and initiatives tackling urgent environmental and social issues in our region.

Our Process
We want the best thrifting experience for you, so not every item that we receive is going to meet our quality standards and make it to the Thryft store.

Though our packing methods might be more time-consuming, it's a labour of love from us to you and our planet.
