Gateway to Sustainability in Japan

Lynks offers a sharing service of children’s clothing in Japan

It is normal to throw out children’s clothing after it has ripped, or because the child has simply outgrown it and needs new garments. With Lynks, parents will no longer have to throw away children’s clothing.

Lynks makes it possible to recycle clothing that most people might find unusable. Lynks carefully inspects and repairs clothing that can be further used by other children. This is possible through donations from generous people around Japan. Not only is Lynks providing a safe haven for unwanted clothing, but it is also providing garments at a reasonable, affordable price.

Lynks does request that donated clothing be sent to them in the best possible condition since the donations will be going to another lucky child. As of now, customers send their unwanted clothing to Lynks, but the company is looking for store partners in order to make the donation process easier.

Lynks has also made it easy for customers to sign up and receive clothing. Customers can purchase up to 20 pieces of clothing. Moreover, the prices are extremely reasonable and affordable. For an additional fee, Lynks will also ship out orders throughout Japan. Furthermore, registering with their website is free.

Lynks will also be launching real events in order for patrons to meet up and carry out clothing exchanges. As of now, these events are in the experimental stages, but will soon be launched in many different areas around Japan. This will be a perfect way to introduce the “mottainai” culture the country is famous for.

Placing value on the sharing economy and Japan’s “mottainai” culture is very important for Lynks. Moreover, it is now possible to donate clothing instead of discarding them in the trash. This form of service also makes it possible to find affordable clothing for children at an extremely reasonable cost.
