What is the Thrift+ x Farfetch service?

Thrift+ is an on-demand donation service that makes it easy, transparent and rewarding to donate good quality pre-loved items to your favourite charity.

Order a donation bag, fill it up and return it for free. Thrift+ does all the work of selling online for you.

For every item sold, one third of the money made goes to your chosen charity and you can either earn one-third as Farfetch credit, or donate all of the profits to your cause. One third goes to Thrift+ for running the service.

FAQs

What kind of clothes should I donate?

Thrift+ specialises in selling high quality second-hand clothes that deserve to be sold online for a fair price.

However this does not mean just mean designer pieces.

Thrift+ also accepts contemporary brands (e.g. Whistles, &OtherStories, Levis) and high street brands (e.g. Zara, Topshop) as long as these items are in excellent condition.

Can I track my items after I donate them?

Thrift+ will keep you updated every step of the way. You will receive an email notification once your items are live on the Thrift+ store and as they begin to sell. You can also log in to your Thrift+ account to check on the latest status of your donations.

Which charities can I choose?

You can select any UK registered charity.

What fees are involved?

Your ThriftBag is free to order and free to return. However, Thrift+ recoups the first £5 of sales to cover these costs before the remaining sales are split as per your chosen proposition.

Note, if you choose to have your ThriftBag collected by courier then the first £10 of sales per bag is recouped to cover this added cost.

How much do charities receive?

After deducting the initial return costs, Thrift+ sends 33% of each sale to charity. This compares to an average of 19% in a high street charity shop. By selling online for a fair price and keeping costs low, Thrift+ is the most effective way to donate quality clothes to your chosen charity.

How do I redeem my Farfetch credits?

As each item sells, you will receive a notification from Thrift+ and your credits will be loaded automatically into your Farfetch account within 48 hours.

Who do I contact if I have questions?

This service is fully operated by Thrift+. If you have any issues or questions, please contact hello@thrift.plus

Please note this service is currently only available in the UK.
