The Revive Wardrobe Project
Redistribution Partnerships.
A bridge between organisations sitting on textile surplus and the women who need clothing at scale. Reducing waste. Equipping women in transition.
The fashion and textile industry produces an enormous amount of surplus stock every year. Brands, retailers, and corporates end up with unsold, end-of-line, or de-stocked clothing that often has nowhere useful to go. At the same time, organisations supporting women in transition are routinely short of the clothing those women need to step into what comes next.
Our redistribution arm exists in the gap between those two realities. We work with corporate partners with surplus on one side, and with institutions and community organisations supporting women on the other. We build the route in between.
Where the 1-to-1 mobile wardrobe is a slow, personal experience, this side of the project moves at scale. The principle is the same. Women preparing for a transition deserve to step into it dressed for it. Their clothing should not be the thing that holds them back.
Our active partnerships sit under commercial agreements, so we keep the specifics out of public view. What we can say is that the model is built, the partners are real, and the women on the other end are the reason every conversation matters. If your organisation has surplus that deserves a meaningful next step, we’d like to talk.
For partners
Frequently asked questions.
Practical answers for brands, retailers, and corporates considering a partnership with us. If something isn’t covered here, send a short email and we’ll come straight back.
01
What stock do you accept?
Women’s clothing, footwear, and accessories. New with tags, as-new, and unworn samples all work. We also handle debranded stock and commercially sensitive lines with discretion. We can’t accept damaged items.
02
Is there a minimum or maximum volume?
Neither. Our network is built to move volume, including tonnage. A few hundred pieces or several thousand, we’ll find the route for it.
03
How does logistics work?
Partners ship directly from their site to the project recipient we’ve matched the stock with. We don’t operate a warehouse, and that’s deliberate. Our role is the curation, the matching, and the relationship layer between you and the women your stock reaches. Removing the middle stop keeps the route lean, the timeline tight, and the overhead off both sides.
04
Who covers shipping costs?
Partners typically cover carriage, but specifics are negotiable on a case-by-case basis. We’d rather find an arrangement that works for both sides than walk away from a good partnership over logistics.
05
What’s the typical timeline?
It varies. Once we’ve agreed an offer, we work with you to set a timeline that suits your operational rhythm. For most partners, the route from “we have stock” to “it’s in a woman’s hands” is days or a few weeks, not months.
06
Do partners receive impact reporting?
Yes. Every partner receives social impact reporting on where the stock landed, the difference it made, and the women it reached. We treat this as part of the partnership, not an extra.
07
Can the report be used for CSR or ESG documentation?
That’s exactly what it’s designed for. If you report against a specific framework (B Corp, GRI, ESRS, or your own internal one), tell us and we’ll shape the report to fit.
08
Can our company be named publicly, or kept anonymous?
That’s your call. If you’d like to be credited as a partner, we’ll do so on this site and in our communications. If anonymity matters, which is common where stock is debranded or commercially sensitive, we protect it without compromise.
09
What geography do you cover?
We currently operate across the North East and North West of England. We’re open to expanding our reach where a partnership warrants it.
10
How do we start a conversation?
A short email is the quickest route. Send a few lines about the kind of stock you have, the rough volume, and any timing constraints. We’ll come back with a proposal for how a partnership could work.
