RE-USE, RE-LOVE AND RECYCLE

Our ongoing partnership with Thrift+ offers a take-back scheme and donation service where your second-hand clothes can be given a new lease of life. 

You can gain extra wardrobe space, raise funds for your chosen charity and enjoy a 20% discount from your next French Connection purchase. Even better, you also contribute to and support circular fashion. 

350,000 tonnes of used and unwanted clothing end up in landfill every year in the UK - so with help of Thrift+, let’s give some of those items a new home and play our part in improving this and protecting our planet through positive changes.

HOW DOES IT WORK

1. Simply add a Thrift+ bag to your basket for free the next time your order from us or pick up one in store.

2. When you receive the bag, scan the QR code on your bag or visit thrift.plus/register to register your bag and choose your free returns service.

3. Fill up the bag with your pre-loved you no longer wear (this doesn’t have to be French Connection, but great if it is).

4. Once full, send it back with your chosen returns service.

5. Thrift will take care of everything to do with reselling or recirculating your clothes. Top drawer items will be sorted, photographed, and uploaded to be resold. If an item sells, get the chance to earn Thrift+ credits that you can spend on pre-loved fashion, redeem on vouchers or donate to charity. See Thrift+’s FAQs here to learn more.

6. Plus, as an exclusive treat from us, when Thrift+ receives your bag, we'll send you a 20% off code to use on your next online order*.‌

FAQ:

We hand-check each item to decide the best way to give it a second life. Either we resell online, donate to charity, or recycle responsibly.

There are two things that make all the difference:

1. Quality. Clothes, shoes and accessories that are new or like new. That means with no rips, marks or stains.

2. Brands. Well-known names get snapped up. Use our Brand Checker to see which ones we accept.

If your items tick both boxes, we photograph, suggest prices, and upload them. You give them the green light. Then we list your items for sale on Thrift+ and other marketplaces.

Thrift+ look for clothing, shoes and accessories from premium and designer brands, plus they also sell everyday high street brands, but these must be in new or excellent condition, Please note they do not accept jewellery, underwear, swimwear and children's or baby clothing. Find which brands are eligible for resale here.

Clothes that aren’t top-drawer for resale will be donated to charity or responsibly recycled. Learn more.

You'd be surprised how much you can fit in a Thrift+ bag - a good guide is a standard carry-on suitcase. You will receive one 20% off discount code per filled Thrift+ bag, which will be sent to your email once Thrift+ receives your clothing donation.

At the moment, the French Connection x Thrift+ takeback scheme is a UK only partnership. However, we are currently looking into international options to expand this circular fashion initiative globally.
