Introduction

In a world where there are more clothes produced than ever before our mission is simple: keep great clothing in circulation and make second-hand the first choice.

At Messina Hembry,  circularity is part of the DNA. Every restored garment in our archive is one less produced, one less discarded, and one more step toward shrinking fashion’s environmental footprint.

OUR IMPACT

Every restored garment we resell prevents a new one from being manufactured — a small act with a big impact in an industry
responsible for enormous CO₂ emissions and overproduction.

We don’t design new clothes.
We give existing ones their next chapter
.

1 million+ garments have already been saved from landfill through Messina Hembry.
That means 1.13 kg of CO₂ saved on average per item, and countless fibres, dyes, and resources kept in use instead of wasted.

Circularity

“We don’t design new collections.
We don’t manufacture.
We circulate what already exists.”

Our entire purpose is to extend the lifespan of clothing, proving that fashion doesn’t need constant newness to stay relevant. By choosing pre-loved, you reduce your environmental impact by up to 90% compared to buying new — and contribute directly to a more thoughtful, less wasteful industry.

HOW WE RESTORE

Our work begins long before a garment reaches your hands.
We inspect, clean, repair and revive every item.
From re-stitching seams to restoring fabric quality, we ensure each piece is ready for a second (or third) life. Restoration is our craft — the difference between second-hand, and second-best.

OUR COMMITMENTS

We are committed to:

  • Long-term circular practices, not seasonal sustainability claims
  • Reducing waste at every touchpoint — from sourcing to packaging
  • Bringing transparency to second-hand, with real, measurable impact
  • Treating second-hand as culture, not as a trend

Valuing the communities who choose restoration over replacement

And above all:
To keep great clothes out of landfill and back into wardrobes — where they belong.

LOOKING AHEAD

Our mission doesn’t stop at what we restore today.
We’re building new systems, improving our processes, and exploring ways to increase our impact year after year.

More clothes saved.
More waste avoided.
More people choosing the circular option first.

The future of fashion isn’t new — it’s renewed.
