Kuwaii’s Re-Worn Program

We created our Re-Worn Program to extend the life cycle of treasured Kuwaii pieces. Our philosophy is simple: invest in quality pieces, wear them as long as possible — and when you’re done with them, pass them on to someone else.

Trade in your pre-loved Kuwaii item at our stores and receive:

• Near New condition: $20 voucher
• Well Loved condition: $10 voucher
• Ready to Recycle: we will mend or recycle thoughtfully — no voucher issued

Vouchers can be spent in-store on the spot, so we encourage you to wait until you’ve found something you love. Please allow up to 45 minutes for us to process your return, as it can be busy in store. If you would prefer, you can book a time via contact@kuwaii.com.au

Vouchers are valid on clothing and footwear only, and are not valid on sale items or in conjunction with any other offer.

Please note: We accept up to 3 items per customer per visitItems must be Kuwaii clothing or footwear.

All items must be clean when returned.

What happens to the returned items?

Re-wear
Garments deemed still wearable are prepared for re-selling to prolong their useful life. These are sold as our Kuwaii Secondhand Marketplace pieces in our stores intermittently throughout the year. Sign up to our newsletter to be made aware of the next Secondhand Marketplace. 

Repair
Garments that need minor patching or repairs are carefully mended. We keep an archive of past fabrics so we can usually match fabrics for patches. Depending on their condition, we prepare these garments for resale or donation.

Re-Purpose
Garments that are deemed unwearable or unrepairable are made into other products such as cleaning cloths or rags.

Re-Cycle
At the very end of life, the garment will be dismantled and sent to our partner recycling mill. From there, the garment is processed and the usable components are recycled into new and useful items.
