If the wardrobe is getting a little too crowded, October could be a good time to do some clearing out. Instead of letting unwanted clothes, bags and wallets sit in the cupboard for months, REFASH is bringing back its Instant Cash Out promotion at selected locations in Singapore, giving shoppers a chance to turn accepted preloved fashion items into cash on the spot.

The promotion will be available at REFASH Northpoint City and REFASH Waterway Point on selected dates throughout October 2026. For anyone who has been meaning to declutter but keeps putting it off, this could be a useful excuse to finally go through those overflowing drawers and wardrobes.

The idea is fairly straightforward. Bring along eligible preloved clothing, bags or wallets to the participating REFASH outlet during the promotion hours. Their team will inspect the items, and accepted pieces can be paid for instantly in cash.

It is a simple way to give unwanted fashion a second chance while putting a little extra money back into the wallet.

Turn Unwanted Fashion Into Instant Cash

Many of us have clothes that are still perfectly wearable but rarely see the light of day. Perhaps a shirt no longer fits the way it used to, a pair of trousers has been sitting untouched for too long, or a bag that once seemed like a must-have has gradually become forgotten.

Rather than allowing these items to take up valuable wardrobe space, REFASH’s Instant Cash Out promotion provides an opportunity to bring selected preloved pieces in for assessment.

The promotion accepts several categories, including womenswear, menswear, activewear, bags and wallets. This means there is more flexibility than simply clearing out everyday clothing.

Of course, not every item will necessarily be accepted. The items still need to pass REFASH’s assessment, so it is worth choosing pieces that are in suitable condition before making the trip.

Two Convenient Locations to Choose From

The October promotion is taking place at two shopping locations, making it easier for people in different parts of Singapore to participate.

At Northpoint City, REFASH is located at #02-135/136/137. The Instant Cash Out service will be available every Thursday and Friday in October, covering 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, 16, 22, 23, 29 and 30 October 2026, from 12pm to 8pm.

For shoppers around Punggol, the promotion will also be available at Waterway Point #01-52, East Wing. The Waterway Point schedule runs every Friday in October, specifically 2, 9, 16, 23 and 30 October 2026, from 2pm to 8pm.

With multiple dates throughout the month, there is no need to rush everything into one particular weekend. Shoppers can choose a suitable Thursday or Friday based on their schedule.

What Should Be Prepared Before Going?

A little preparation can make the whole process easier.

Start by going through the wardrobe and separating items that are genuinely no longer being used. Look for clothing, activewear, bags and wallets that could potentially be suitable for resale.

It is also a good idea to make sure the items are reasonably presentable before bringing them down. Check pockets, remove personal belongings, and make sure bags and wallets are emptied. Clothing can also be sorted and folded neatly so everything is easier to transport.

Most importantly, remember that bringing an item to REFASH does not automatically mean it will be accepted. Their team will inspect each item before deciding whether it qualifies.

This is particularly important if a large number of pieces are being brought along. It may be better to prioritise the items that are in better condition rather than simply emptying the entire wardrobe into a bag.

Allow Time for the Inspection

One thing shoppers should keep in mind is that the inspection process can take around 60 minutes, depending on how busy the outlet is.

That means this is not necessarily a quick drop-off-and-go arrangement. If the outlet is crowded, the assessment may take longer, so it is worth planning some extra time into the visit.

While waiting, shoppers can make use of the time to browse the surrounding shopping centre, grab a drink or meal, or simply take a break.

There is another important detail to remember. Any rejected items must be collected on the same day after the assessment. So, do not leave items behind with the expectation that they can be collected another day.

This is especially useful to remember if bringing several bags of clothing. Make sure there is enough time after the assessment to collect anything that does not meet the acceptance criteria.

Why Is This Worth Checking Out?

The biggest attraction is obvious: there is an opportunity to turn unused fashion items into cash.

But there is another benefit that is easy to overlook. Selling preloved items can also make the process of decluttering feel more rewarding.

Cleaning out a wardrobe can sometimes be surprisingly difficult. There are always clothes that have sentimental value, items that might supposedly be worn “one day”, and purchases that have not been used in ages. Having a practical reason to sort through everything can make it easier to decide what should stay and what can move on.

For accepted items, getting paid immediately also means there is no need to wait around for a buyer or manage individual online listings. There is no need to take photographs, write descriptions, answer messages from potential buyers or arrange separate meet-ups.

That convenience can make a difference, particularly for people who have a pile of preloved fashion waiting to be cleared.

A More Practical Way to Declutter

There is also something satisfying about knowing that unwanted fashion may find another owner instead of simply remaining unused.

A piece that no longer works for one person’s wardrobe could still be useful to someone else. By bringing suitable preloved items to REFASH, shoppers can potentially give those pieces another opportunity while making space at home.

It can also be a good reminder to shop more thoughtfully in the future. Once the wardrobe has been cleared, it becomes easier to see what is already owned and perhaps avoid buying another item that will eventually end up untouched.

Plan a Visit in October

If there are bags of unwanted clothing, activewear, bags or wallets sitting around at home, October offers plenty of opportunities to do something about them.

For those heading to Northpoint City, the Instant Cash Out promotion runs on selected Thursdays and Fridays from 12pm to 8pm. Those visiting Waterway Point can make use of the Friday sessions from 2pm to 8pm.

Just remember to allow around an hour for the inspection, particularly if the outlet is busy, and make sure there is enough time to collect any rejected items on the same day.

Ultimately, this REFASH promotion is about making decluttering a little more worthwhile. Instead of keeping unwanted fashion hidden away in the wardrobe, bring eligible preloved pieces down for assessment and see whether they can be turned into instant cash.

For anyone who has been saying, “I really need to clear out my wardrobe,” this might be the perfect time to finally get started.
