Revofa is a peer-to-peer clothing rental platform. ‘Revofa’ stands for Revolve Fashion which brings the meaning of the ability for fashion to rotate and go around. Fashion is a vast industry that impacts people + planet. Revofa has established a way to gather and connect a community of women, allowing them to share their wardrobe and take even better care of the planet we all love.Ever since the fast-fashion revolution came to play, people are encouraged to purchase and consume more rapidly than planet resources could restore. Revofa is a community-driven movement that encourages women to rent clothes through an online platform, with the mission to support the reduction of textile wastage in landfills, and water pollution in clothing manufacturing. As a social project, Revofa also contributes to clothing donation initiatives, offering pre-loved garments to those in need, and providing support to marine conservation works in Malaysia.
