VinoKilo needs your Support!

This project is about the survival of VinoKilo.

Since starting in 2016 we have given 262+ tons of vintage clothing a new life, saving more than 3.9 tons of CO2 emissions, 4.1 million bath tubs full of water, and 6.2 million washing machine cycles. We are proud of our impact and we want to continue in our role to shape a brighter, more sustainable fashion industry.

However, the pandemic has left us with more than 80 cancelled events throughout April, May, June and August, which would have accounted for 95% of our monthly revenue: our survival is in jeopardy.
As a flexible start-up, we did act swiftly. We are able to keep operating due to our online shop, the team works day and night to bring the clothes online, Event Managers became sourcers, photographers, and steamers - but it is not enough!

We turned over every stone in our company to save and/or generate money. We looked for financial support from banks and government institutions which were declined - our sustainable business model doesn't fit into the German government criteria.

Therefore, we are continuing to fight to bridge our monthly gap of 65,000€, the money we need to cover our operational costs as a company, including salaries, rent etc..

With your support, you can help us stay alive. We can get through this crisis and bring back the best assortment of Vintage treasures to your city.

So what can you do?
You can support us by buying a Kilo of clothes now, which you can redeem at any future Vintage Kilo Sale at any city of your choice.

With pre-ordering a Kilo, buying it ahead of time, you will help VinoKilo survive in this difficult moment.

Our mission is to give everyone an alternative to fast-fashion. We create a positive impact for the future and we promote conscious fashion consumption.

You are our audience! You, who firmly believes, like us, that sustainability is not just a nice-to-have. That sustainability should not be the first thing dropped in a crisis. You who feels sustainability must come back in an even more important position after this difficult period. You who likes fashion! You who loves vintage! You who believes brands like us need to exist!

The goal of this campaign is to financially secure us to enable our continued commitment towards our mission.

Help us now so that we can help you being #stylishlysustainable!

By helping us now through this challenging crisis, you are supporting us to build a future where second-hand can become everyone’s first-hand.
We want our vintage to be an alternative to fast-fashion.

For every Kilo we sell we off-set the production of fast-fashion garments.

Oh, and of course, you can get some awesome perks by supporting us now!

We want to operate transparently. So, here is our gap of 65.000€ per month consisting of:

• 22.000€ Rent & Building maintenance
• 32.000€ Salaries (already including some short-term governmental unemployment protection)
• 11.000€ Services

Let's be honest: We do not know when we will be running Vintage Kilo Sales again. So the goal is to ensure we have enough funds raised that we can fully invest in maintaining our sustainable dream until we can be back with a bang in a city near you.
