Our story
Why Friperiz exists
Where we live, almost all our clothes have crossed an ocean before landing in our wardrobes. And yet we already have everything we need to get dressed: between neighbours, between friends, between people from here.
Friperiz is the app that keeps fashion moving right here, in our territories, without one more new garment crossing the ocean. Buy, sell and swap close to home. Because second-hand is the future, and where we live, it's also plain common sense.
Friperiz was born in Guadeloupe in 2024 from a simple idea: what if we stopped buying new from 10,000 km away, when right next door, in our own wardrobes, there's already everything we need to get dressed? Rather than throwing things away or letting them sleep at the back of a drawer, let's keep them moving. Rather than polluting by shipping in new stuff, let's pass things on.
That idea grew into an app, designed and built in Guadeloupe, where it all began, now open in Guadeloupe and in Martinique, with more territories to come.
The facts
The facts are simple
Two figures that sum up why circular fashion is a no-brainer.
2nd
most polluting industry in the world
The textile industry, right after oil. Every new garment you don't buy is a carbon footprint avoided.
~100%
of new clothes are imported into Guadeloupe
In Guadeloupe, where it all began, almost everything we wear arrives by sea. Keeping clothes moving locally is doubly eco-friendly: zero new production, zero transatlantic shipping.
