FabricAID

Programmes

• FabricBASE

  Clothing that is damaged or unfit for resale is either upcycled or recycled via FabricBASE. Clothing is upcycled in collaboration with local designers, disadvantaged tailors, and international brands. This ensures no clothing items are discarded in landfills.

• FabricMerch

  Under this programme, FabricAID turns scrap fabrics and clothing into mass-produced branded merchandise that is then sold to corporations.

• OSAS

  Under this programme, FabricAID turns scrap fabric and clothing into unique items for sale in its upcycled retail brand store OSAS.

• SALAD

  This programme turns donated clothes and suits unfit for resale into gender-neutral garments that are then sold under FabricAID's SALAD brand.

• Second Base Boutique

  A small percentage of FabricAid donations consist of vintage, occasional, and costume clothing. These items do not serve the target market of Souk El Khlanj, who tend to be more conservative in their choices. These items are sold at competitive prices through the FabricAID thrift and vintage store, Second Base Boutique, to middle and upper-class communities. Clients can also sell their vintage items at the store and receive 25% cash back or 50% store credit for items sold.

• Souk El Khalanj

  Souk El Khlanj outlets sell donated second-hand clothes to extremely marginalised communities at micro-prices - with the average price per item is under one US dollar. The items are cleaned, ironed, and tailored to ensure high quality and the outlets are fitted with dressing rooms and experienced sales people to ensure a dignified shopping experience. Some 78% of all FabricAid clothing donations are sold via Souk l Khlanj.

• Souk Okaz

  Souk Okaz is a retail concept that enables people to buy and sell second-hand clothes at affordable prices. Customers are invited to sell gently-used clothes for cash back. No FabricAID donations are used in this programme.
