RehashClothes.com - Be Green, Trade Your Clothes

Here’s a new taking on the whole business of going green—recycled clothing. Rehash is a new site that does just that. Rehash combines, old clothes, Web 2.0, environmental friendliness, blogging, and a good, thrifty attitude. Fashionistas, thrift-store addicts and, poor starving artists alike can enjoy what Rehash has to offer. Simply register and start rehashing or trading in your old threads for new ones, or rather, new old ones. You list your goods and add what you want in return, whether it be cash or clothing. Members can make offers and you choose the best one. Rehash also has the prerequisite social networking aspect—you can make friends, join groups, attend live events. There’s articles about going green, and plenty of environmentally friendly articles to gnosh on as well.

“Orpheux Design began its planning and development of Rehash Clothes in the early summer of 2007. The original idea was to design clothing out of recycled clothes, however it began to evolve more and more into a place to facilitate the trading of clothes. We decided the best approach would be to not only allow you to trade your clothes, but to provide a social platform for users to better connect with other traders.”

Rehash is the Salvation Army gone Web 2.o. It’s a good idea for those who like thrift stores and finding good deals on potentially expensive clothes. It’s also good for the environment.

Will people want to trade their clothes? Is Rehash trying to do too much? Will its social networking angle catch on?
