Who We Are ?

The Tejori Marketplace offers a sustainable, peer-to-peer platform for buying and selling preloved South Asian outfits, addressing a common issue in the UK’s South Asian community: beautiful, expensive outfits worn once and left unused. We aim to glamorise the impact a more circular approach to fashion can make! Breaking bad habits and introducing sustainability to South Asians while breaking taboos. By promoting environmental responsibility, we hope to inspire future generations.

A Personal Note

As the founder of The Tejori Marketplace and someone deeply connected to South Asian culture, this mission is personal to me. I have always been captivated by the beauty, elegance, and craftsmanship of traditional Asian outfits. Growing up, I would marvel at my mother’s ability to transform fabric into intricate, dazzling garments that
told a story of culture, heritage, and artistry. She always taught me and my siblings, dressing up for weddings, festivals, and celebrations wasn’t just about looking good—it
was about celebrating tradition, family, and culture. But I also saw how these cherished outfits often sat in closets for years after a single use for a few hours – which is common
within our community! This ultimately disrespects the craftsmanship that goes into putting these outfits together, raising alarms to lengthen the life cycle of these outfits!
