Retykle Blog

Retykle Founder Sarah Garner was recently invited by Jumpstart Magazine to contribute a written piece for their online platform. For the piece, she explored the “Shifting Mindset of Chinese Consumers on Sustainable Fashion”. Having worked in the luxury fashion world for many years and now running the largest children’s luxury clothing resale platform, she's seen first hand how consumers in Asia and particularly China have evolved and in particular what drives them to think as more conscious consumers.

Here at Retykle, we are incredibly proud to reveal the talented photographer behind the lens at our shoots! Jenna Louise Potter from Lucky Fish Photography has worked with us on almost all of our campaign shoots and countless giveaways. As Hong Kong's go-to family photographer, we decided to catch up with her to hear how she started her business in Hong Kong and how she balances work life and motherhood.

Amy Malpass Hahn is the Editor-in-Chief of the leading digital lifestyle platform, The Grace Tales. We are thrilled that she has curated a special collection specifically for Retykle, featuring some of her favourite outgrown pieces that her little one has worn and loved. We also caught up with her to hear a bit about her time at The Grace Tales since she joined and what sustainability means to her.

Ahead of a cloth diapering workshop we are hosting at Retykle with Petit Tippi, we caught up with Founder Victoria Chuard on why it is an important method for reducing our environmental footprint. Petit Tippi is Hong Kong's leading platform for top quality, design focused natural, organic and eco-friendly products.

Grace Lam has spent over 22 years in the fashion industry with a career that saw her launch VOGUE China. Today she works hard to advocate for sustainable causes and leads what she describes as a more meaningful life, one that is not always associated with high fashion but one that gives back to the community and environment whilst inspiring others to do the same. We caught up with her to chat about what sustainability means to her and how she implements this in her everyday life with her family and son Theo.

When you've shopped or sold with Retykle, it’s likely that you’ve chatted to someone on our incredible operations team. We thought it might be a nice opportunity to get to know our two Operation Managers, Brianna Chiu and Sarah Buckell to hear a bit more about what they do and what Retykle means to them.

Summer is in full-swing and by now the kids are getting the most out of their gear with hours of fun spent in the sun. Wherever you are in the world for summer, we have some fun summer-themed inspo and trend-tips that should see you through the holidays with your active Tykes!

Getting something new is always super fun and exciting... especially for kids! However, as soon as your child is old enough to have more control of his or her pocket money, things can become a little more complicated.
