Preloved Eid Look Book

Eid-ul-Fitr, the Muslim holiday marking the culmination of the holy month of Ramadan which Muslims around the globe practice fasting and acts of worship, is just around the corner! This, to many Muslims globally, means it’s shopping season! How about we switch it up to being sustainable by shopping second hand to save clothes from going to landfill and also avoid overproduction and overconsumption of resources.

According to the State of the Global Islamic Economy Report (SGIE) 2021, Muslims worldwide spend $2.2 trillion (AED 7.3 trillion) on faith-inspired ethical consumption needs. UAE is ranked as the third top country for the third consecutive year and leads in the modest fashion sector.

Thrifting or buying second hand is one of the best ways to dress sustainably during Eid. Now, more than ever, there is a demand for sustainable fashion that is good for the planet. 

At Thriftforgood, we rehome preloved outfits to reduce waste and save children around the world in partnership with Gulf for Good. Buying second hand for a cause is also a way to give back to the community during Eid. Your purchase on any of our items directly contributes to helping children around the globe in partnership with Gulf for Good and purchasing the sparkle farm to feed children in Malawi under the care of Sparkle Foundation Malawi.

Our modest outfit designs decluttered to us offer a range of beautiful handpicked dresses and outfits that would suit to be worn during Eid. You can shop online directly through our website or in any of our stores in Times Square Center (1st Floor), and Golden Mile 8 Building Galleria Mall in Palm Jumeirah.

Look stylish in one of our preloved Eid outfits through our In-Store Eid Look Book. 

Marc Ellis Women’s Elegant Colourful Jumpsuit

 
This unique jumpsuit pops color and elegance perfect for any special occassion. Modest lose fitting and length gives it an edgy look suitable for an Eid outfit. You can also style it creatively to make it more modest as seen in this pic styled in our preloved black long sleeve top and scarf. The beauty about wearing a second hand outfit during such events like Eid is that you will stand out with unique pieces, not buying into the pressure of wearing trendy new one-off fast-fashion brands that are not good for the environment or won’t last you longer.
