Stellenbosch-based online used clothing marketplace Drip Markets reaches 5 000 app downloads. OnlineMarketplace DripMarkets e-commerce Pre-lovedClothing thrifting
Drip MarketsThe thrifting company − founded by University of Stellenbosch students Bernard Combrink and Wihan Joubert to help users sell and buy pre-loved clothing – has 4 000 downloads on the App Store and 1 000 downloads on the Google Play Store.
Joubert, an investment management student, and Combrink, an accounting student, met in 2020 and worked over two years to realise their concept for an online marketplace. The pair developed the app with the help of Arnold Hattingh, an electrical engineering student who developed Djol, an app that finds dinner and drinks specials in Stellenbosch.
Once a seller receives money for the item, it must be shipped to the buyer. The seller will only receive their funds once the buyer logs the item as “received” on the app. “Drip Markets is not just about creating a platform to sell second-hand clothing; it is also an opportunity to tap into sustainable fashion. So, for example, every time a second-hand T-shirt is bought instead of a new one, 713 litres of water is saved,” explains Joubert.
