VOWS

The sweet lull of your favourite fashion brands can be hard to ignore, especially with affordability and convenience at an all time high. But no wallet, closet or landfill is deep enough to sustain the effects of overconsumption. Syakirin and Athirah Rosik, the sister duo behind VOWS, are providing an ethical alternative by selling used clothing and jewellery online. While it could be the preferred form of shopping in other parts of the world, buying used clothes is still a novel experience for most. We speak to the sisters to learn how they plan to scale and sustain the business of thrifting.
