Our Story

Fashion should give back, not take away.

Loop Collective started with a simple belief — that great clothes deserve a second life, and great people deserve fair prices. We built the marketplace we always wanted to shop on.

Built on four principles

♻️

Sustainability First

Every item resold is one fewer item in landfill. Fashion is one of the world's most polluting industries — we're working to change that, one wardrobe at a time.

🤝

Community Trust

We verify every seller, review every listing, and stand behind every transaction. Your safety and trust is non-negotiable — not a feature, a foundation.

💰

Fair Value

Sellers keep more of their earnings. Buyers pay fair prices. We take a small, transparent platform fee — no surprises, no hidden charges.

💰

Charity Impact

Sellers can choose to donate a portion of their earnings to registered NPOs/NPCs. Every sale contributes to meaningful causes and social impact.

From idea to marketplace

We started as a small WhatsApp group where friends resold clothes. We outgrew it fast. So we built something better.

Frequently Asked

Can't find your answer? Chat with us →

How does buyer protection work?
Payment is held in escrow by Paystack until you confirm you've received your item in the condition described. If something's wrong, you can open a dispute within 48 hours of delivery.
How much does it cost to sell?
Listing is 100% free. We take a 10% platform fee only when you make a sale. No monthly fees, no listing fees, no surprises.
How long does it take to get paid?
Once the buyer confirms receipt (or 5 days after delivery with no dispute), your payout is processed within 1–2 business days to your linked bank account.
What items can I sell on Loop Collective?
Pre-loved clothing, shoes, bags, and accessories in good or better condition. All items must be authentic, accurately described, and photographed clearly. Fakes and counterfeit goods are strictly prohibited.
Is my payment information safe?
Yes. All payments are handled by Paystack — a PCI-DSS certified payment processor. We never store your card details on our servers.
