Once upon a time, not that long ago (we're talking 2023), two enthusiastic rave kids were gearing up for their next big event. Wanting to look their best in the latest and greatest trends, they turned to online rave stores but were quickly disheartened by their totals at checkout.

Being two young adults living in one of the most expensive cities in the world, we did what many others do and turned to an ultra-cheap fast fashion site (if you catch our drift). Our carts were full of cute fits and we were ready to checkout, but we couldn't go through with it. We couldn't stand giving our money to this company knowing about how unethical and unsustainable it is.

With the event coming up quickly, we turned to our local thrift stores, scouring the racks for something to wear. After three stores we still came up empty-handed and as frustrated as ever.

With options limited, we asked our friends if we can borrow something. To our surprise, many people not only said yes, they said we could keep what we borrowed. They told us "we're done with them anyway."

We thought to ourselves: how can we and our fellow ravers find cool second-hand rave and festival stuff for affordable prices?

LIGHTBULB!
