Trade-In Service
Trade in your shirt. Close the loop.
At CARPASUS, we believe clothing should never go to waste. That’s why we’ve launched our Trade-In Program in collaboration with i-ceep, making it easier for you to return your worn or unused CARPASUS shirts and give them a second life.
How it works
1. Trade in your item
Send us back your pre-loved CARPASUS shirt, t-shirt, overshirt or trousers. It doesn’t matter if it’s gently worn, a little faded, or has a story to tell, as long as it's a CARPASUS original. You can trade-in your item through our online trade-in process or simply bring along your item when you visit us in our St. Gallen Showroom.
2. Get instant credit
Once we receive your pre-loved CARPASUS item, you’ll receive a voucher code for your next purchase as a little thank-you for helping us reduce textile waste. Because doing the right thing should feel good and look good! The voucher will be redeemable for all purchases over CHF 50.-
The amounts you get from trading in CARPASUS items are the following:
- Shirts: CHF 15.-
- Overshirts: CHF 20.-
- Trousers: CHF 15.-
- T-Shirt: CHF 5.-
3. We sort it, we store it, we use it
Your pre-loved CARPASUS item is carefully inspected and sorted:
- Rewearable pieces are cleaned and stored for future resale in our pre-loved collection. We might upcycle or enhance them with embroideries or prints. We keep you updated once the first pieces go live.
- Worn-out items are saved for future recycling projects such as new fabrics.
4. What qualifies
✔ Articles from CARPASUS only (Shirts, T-Shirts, Polo Shirt, Trousers or Overshirts)
✔ Gently used or worn (no need to be perfect)
✔ Clean and dry when shipped back
Why we do it
Every year, millions of garments end up in landfills. At CARPASUS, we want to change that—by designing clothes that last and building systems that let them live on, even when you’re done wearing them.
What happens with your traded-in shirt?
Your returned item might:
- Find a second owner through our upcoming pre-loved collection
- Be repurposed into something entirely new
- Be recycled into new fibers and yarns and contribute to circular fashion solutions
