Singapore’s first one- stop destination for everyone who values the two most essential S in fashion, STYLE & SUSTAINABILITY!
THE PROBLEM
150 billion garments per year are produced in the global fashion industry, which means about 20 items per person. (Source: Takeaways from Future of Fashion Sustainability Panel)
92 million tons of solid waste each year is produced by the fashion industry using 98 million tons of natural resources. (Source: Greenpeace)
1.2 billion tons annually is the total greenhouse gas emissions from textile production. This is more than those of all international flights and maritime shipping combined. (Source: Anew of textile economy)
The Rana Plaza disaster in 2013, in which 1,130 people died and 2,500 were injured when a run-down eight-storey factory complex making clothes for Primark, Benetton, Walmart and other Western brands collapsed, highlighted the dangers of the industry in Bangladesh. (Source: Post Magazine)
OUR STORY
After 3 years of hard work in promoting and advancing sustainable fashion in Singapore through organising 15 swaps, several workshops, panel discussions, and collaborations with various companies and government agencies, we noticed that people are extremely motivated to create positive change. Unfortunately, due to the lack of flexibility and inconsistent location of swapping events, creating a positive change was something they had to fit into their schedules. Now, how do we fix this problem?
A permanent swapping fashion space! One location, swap anytime, bring everyone. Not only will you be able to swap from the best selection of pre-loved fashion pieces, you can now upcycle and learn fashion tricks all at one place! We aim to provide convenience and flexibility on however and whenever you want to help us create a purpose-driven economy around sustainable fashion and conscious consumerism. The Fashion Pulpit is also the very first of its kind in Singapore. So as you can see, we have a lot to be excited about!

The Fashion Pulpit is a social enterprise that aims to promote environmental education and awareness in the field of fashion. Our platform is open to the public, as we encourage consumers to extend the lifespan of fashion items and minimise textile waste. We also conduct events around sustainability and style, empowering consumers to take charge of their consumption habits.
