If there’s one thing Singaporeans love, it’s a great deal—and when that deal comes with a chance to shop sustainably and support local creatives, even better. From 11 April to 11 May 2025, the team at Refash is running a month-long celebration of secondhand fashion, eco-friendly lifestyle products, and creative crafts at HarbourFront Centre, and it’s not one to miss.
This event, titled “Thrift by the Dock,” is not just another warehouse clearance or flash sale. It’s a community-driven campaign promoting greener consumer choices, giving shoppers the chance to revamp their wardrobe, declutter for rewards, and pick up some hands-on skills along the way. Whether you’re a savvy bargain hunter, a sustainability advocate, or just someone who enjoys hunting for unique pieces, there’s something for you here.
Why this promotion is worth your time
In Singapore, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword anymore. People are becoming more mindful about how and where they shop. Refash taps into that growing consciousness, offering not just discounted goods, but a complete experience around conscious consumerism. Here’s why it’s worth popping down to HarbourFront Centre:
1. Thrift Deals From Just $5
Yes, you read that right. You’ll find womenswear, menswear, activewear, bags, wallets, and footwear starting from only $5. That’s cheaper than a coffee in town—and certainly more exciting. With a curated selection of pre-loved items in great condition, you’re not just saving money, you’re reducing waste too. These items have been quality-checked, so you’re getting style at a steal.
2. Get Rewarded for Decluttering
Have a closet full of unused clothes, bags, or wallets? Don’t let them go to waste. Refash encourages visitors to sell their preloved items in exchange for Decathlon gift cards. Even better—there’s a bonus payout when you trade in menswear, bags, or wallets. It’s the perfect excuse to finally tackle that wardrobe spring cleaning.
3. Celebrity Closets Up for Grabs
Ever fancied owning something from a local influencer’s closet? Now’s your chance. Celebrities such as @shazza.wav, @eh.thea, and @iamhuiwen are putting up their personal wardrobes for sale. You might even bump into them while browsing—what better way to add a conversation-starting piece to your wardrobe?
4. Support Local Eco-Creators and Brands
The market isn’t just about clothing. Look out for pop-up booths by @resincreates.co, @chapterclay.co, and @theooctopus_sg. These creative small businesses will be selling everything from resin crafts and handmade accessories to earth-friendly household products. Buying from them means supporting passionate local entrepreneurs who care about sustainability.
5. Workshops to Get Your Creative Juices Flowing
For those who like to get hands-on, Refash has lined up interactive workshops conducted by eco-conscious partners. Learn the art of sewing, flower arranging, or even build your own living terrarium with guidance from @sewcrazysg, @werms.inc, and @dedronflowers. It’s a fantastic way to spend the weekend or an off day while picking up a new hobby. Details for sign-ups are available via their Facebook event page.
6. Partner Collaborations That Amplify the Impact
The event is powered by strong partnerships with organisations like Decathlon Singapore, Thryft.asia, and Pollen Save—all known for their sustainability efforts. Their presence adds legitimacy and support to the event’s eco-conscious message. Whether it’s through responsible consumption, recycling, or community action, they’re making it easier for everyone to be involved.
Why this event matters
This isn’t just a temporary pop-up—it’s a sign of how consumer culture is evolving in Singapore. Thrift by the Dock reminds people that sustainable shopping can be fun, fashionable, and fulfilling. It also highlights the importance of giving items a second life, rather than feeding into a cycle of fast fashion.
There’s also something undeniably joyful about thrift shopping. It’s the thrill of the hunt, finding a gem tucked away in a rack or discovering a quirky craft that feels one-of-a-kind. Plus, knowing that your purchases contribute to a greener future just makes everything feel better.
For families, it’s a great weekend outing that’s easy on the wallet. For eco-warriors, it’s an opportunity to meet like-minded individuals. For those curious about sustainability but not sure where to start, this event provides a low-barrier entry point into a more conscious way of living.
And the location couldn’t be more convenient. HarbourFront Centre is easily accessible by MRT, bus, or car, and with plenty of food and entertainment options around, you can make a full day of it. Head down in the morning for first dibs on new stock, take part in a workshop by lunch, and explore the booths in the afternoon.
Final thoughts
In a city that often feels fast-paced and hyper-commercialised, events like this remind people to slow down and make thoughtful choices. Thrift by the Dock is more than just a sale—it’s a celebration of sustainability, creativity, and community. Whether you’re there to refresh your wardrobe, learn something new, or simply browse and soak in the vibe, it’s well worth the visit.
So, block out a date on your calendar between 11 April and 11 May 2025. Head down to HarbourFront Centre, explore what’s on offer, and enjoy the satisfaction of shopping smart while doing good. Trust that you’ll leave with more than just shopping bags—you’ll walk away inspired.
