History

Refash was founded in September 2015, by Aloysius Sng.[1]

Started off as a retail outlet in City plaza,[2] REFASH grew into a start-up launched in January 2016.[3]

Refash is a graduate from SPH Plug and Play accelerator programme.[4] In September 2016, REFASH raised a $400,000 seed funding. The round was led by Singapore's Tri5 Ventures, and joined by Malaysia-based Tinkbig Ventures, and an unnamed angel investor.[5]

In June 2017, Refash launched its online site at refash.sg where sellers self-list their clothing.
