Rag-Re-home: Unloved Apparel Seeking New Homes

On Postage and Discounts

2009-08-05T18:54:00.006+08:00

Hey all,

Just a short note to announce that the flat rates for Poslaju charges has increased to RM7 for packages sent within East Malaysia, and RM9 for packages to West Malaysia.

I would like to keep the postage price down (as I know how annoying it is to have to factor that in on top of the price of the items here), but the price has gone up since awhile ago, and it's really impractical for me to absorb the surcharge.

Pos Ekspress, however, remains RM4 for both East and West Malaysia, for single items that can fit into the paper envelope.

However, for all combined purchases of RM150 and above - I'll automatically waive postage charges.

Please state your preferred postage method when confirming purchase of any items here - I'll be more than happy to address all enquiries!

Sorry for the change in policy here, but I promise to keep all item prices here reasonable, alright? Also, discounts apply where applicable, read carefully through each post if conditions for that are specified.

Thank you for browsing!

Série Fond de Livre Blanc

2009-08-03T01:02:00.026+08:00

Sorry for being a few hours late (had an unexpectedly busy day), but finally, here's the update I promised! This time I'm presenting to you five dresses up for sale, starting from prices as low as RM15. I call it the white paper background series, for obvious reasons (and lack of creativity at such an hour LOL).

Indulge in the modest country-girl look with an oh-so-comfortable dress, or vamp up a decadently velvety kimono-inspired sexy little number; go minimalist in a simple two-toned mini-dress that paired with a pair of leggings, transforms into a cute tunic top; play tea-party with a demure tube dress constructed from the prettiest peach chiffon, or spread joy and cheer with a rainbow-hued sundress that's a kaleidoscope of yummy candy colours...

What are you waiting for? Send me that email! A 10% discount will be given to for purchases of two items from this series =)

Padini Authentics Lace-Trimmed Country Dress

Bought from: Padini Authentics
I'm selling this off because: I prefer short dresses or full gypsy skirts over a dress like this, that falls past the knees and reaches mid-calf, and besides, realised I didn't quite like it as much as I did when I bought it.
Condition: Worn once, still in perfect condition (this dress is to be stored twisted up to give its fabric more texture, but it's been hanging in my closet after I last laundered it). Not shown in the pictures: it has a hidden side-zipper for ease of wearing - and ensures a snugger fit around your bust area.
Size: Tagged size S, fits sizes 6-8
Material: Cotton
Colour: Brown, blue, and white fabric, accentuated with buttery yellow lace
Price: RM39 (original price RM69)
Status: Available

Red Striped Kimono-Inspired Mini-Dress with Satin Sashes

Bought from: Cat Whiskers
I'm selling this off because: I just haven't worn this for so long, I figured I'd just sell it off. Love the black satin ribbons though - it's up to you to either tie it back to enhance your silhouette, or tie it into a bow in front.
Condition: Worn about 5-6 times, still in fairly good condition. However, fabric (especially around the bust area) has become a bit linty due to machine-washing (check out the second image), which should be able to be fixed with a little cellotape. Not for fussy buyers.
Size: Should fit sizes 6-8, however do note that hem is a bit short, but will still fall to mid-thigh for taller girls
Material: A velvety material for the dress, satin for the sash
Colour: Predominantly red, with navy and black stripes (refer to second picture)
Price: ~~RM27~~ RM20
Status: Available

Brown and White Scoop-Necked Mini-dress cum Tunic Top

Bought from: 1Utama
I'm selling this off because: I've too many mini-dresses/tunic tops like this, and brown really isn't my colour
Condition: Worn once, briefly
Size: Free-sized (should fit a size 6 to maybe a small 10)
Material: Light cotton-mix fabric (like T-shirt material)
Colour: Brown and white (refer to second picture for more accurate representation of true colours)
Price: RM15 (original price RM30)
Status: Sold

Peach Chiffon Tube Dress

Bought from: Can't remember boutique name
I'm selling this off because: I've too many tube dresses, and I've not worn this for a long time already - would've forgotten about it if I didn't find it while reorganizing my clothes.
Condition: Worn 3 times, still in pretty good condition. Comes with a loop with matching string to convert into a halter dress (see second picture).
Size: Fits a size 6-8, waist area is smocked to accentuate figure
Material: A light chiffon (lined so the dress won't be too sheer)
Colour: Peach
Price: RM28 (original price: RM40)
Status: Available

Rainbow Sundress

Bought from: Absolutely Dress[ed]
I'm selling this off because: I have too many similar dresses (you guys must be sick of reading this already haha)
Condition: Worn once. In superb condition, almost brand-new.
Size: It has a elasticated back (not smocked) that will stretch to fit, ties, and adjustable straps, as evident in the second picture, so it should fit sizes 6-10
Material: Light cotton (lined to prevent it from being too sheer)
Colour: A cheerful looking mix of happy basic colours - green, red, blue, yellow - so summery!
Price: RM38 (originally RM45)
Status: Available

Before I end this post, I'd like to thank you all for browsing! Also, for those who have already made payment for your items, I'll be posting out all parcels by Tuesday (4th August 2009) afternoon. Thank you for your patience =)

Who Says Vintage Isn't Sexy?

2009-08-01T01:43:00.016+08:00

Love mini-dresses, and how they show off your legs? Think vintage is awesome? These two items I have up for sale here combine the best of both worlds!

I'm featuring two adorable dresses from Like Seriously, one of my favourite vintage blog-shops so far, not just for the really cool stuff they sell (I have no idea where they get all their kick-ass vintage check shirts and sheath dresses, but they get snapped up really quickly), but also because the girls running the blog are the nicest, friendliest sellers I've dealt with so far. So do hop over their blog-shop to browse what they have up for sale as well... I'm sure you'll find something nice among their large selection of clothes =)

Anyway, moving on to the dresses up for sale today...

Teal Wrap Cotton Minidress

Bought from: Like Seriously
I'm selling this off because: Aside from the obvious reasons (no space), this mini-dress is a bit too short for me. I'm 5' 6", this dress would probably look better on someone a little shorter. Also, the material's a tad too thick for me right now, as I'm still acclimatizing to the hot, humid weather back here in tropical Malaysia.
Condition: Vintage, but just very lightly worn. Doesn't come with brown belt in first picture.
Size: 6-8
Material: Thick, quality cotton
Colour: A cheerful teal
Price: RM39 (original price: RM49 exclusive of postage)
Status: Available

Sienna-Brown and Beige Sheath Dress with Double Pockets

Bought from: Like Seriously
I'm selling this off because: I love this dress... and I'm having second thoughts about selling it, but I have to, because I've sworn to clear out the clothes I don't wear very much anymore. Once again, this one is a tad short for me, and just about skims my crotch, so I have to wear leggings with this, which I've not been too keen on wearing lately.
Condition: Vintage, but in very good condition, almost mint. Was shortened from its original length to a mini-dress by the previous sellers.
Size: A standard size 6-8
Material: An airy linen
Colour: Beige with sienna brown accents - check out the buttons!
Price: RM36 (original price: RM46 exclusive of postage)
Status: Sold

I love these dresses to bits, honestly, but I'm selling them off here because I don't wear them as much as I would like to, and I think I've to be practical about this. The dresses are just absolutely adorable, both equally quirky, but I guess they're just a tiny bit too short for me to carry off properly (more suitable for the petites, or at least those one or two inches shorter than I am). However, I'm hoping they end up with people who genuinely like them, and have better use for them, so please do hit me with an email if you're interested aye?

Also, more updates should be up by Sunday, when I've the time to take photos of my own, instead of using copyrighted material heh. Patience is a virtue!

Chaussures de Champignon

2009-07-31T17:05:00.014+08:00

Finally! An update after a long hiatus - assignments, exams, and a trip to the land down under got in the way of my resolve to sell off my stuff. But now I'm back (and armed with a camera, so hopefully there'll be less pinching of pictures from other sites haha) - expect more updates soon! =)

Rubi Shoes in Mushroom

Bought from: Rubi Shoes, an Australian brand under Cotton-On
I'm selling this off because: It's a bit too tight on me - I'm a size 6.5, and although I can squeeze into this pair of flatties, it's a bit uncomfortable, which defeats the purpose of wearing flatties... So I'm letting it go instead.
Condtion: Brand-new
Size: 37 (Vincci size 6)
Material: An easy-to-clean light-weight PU leather, with a comfortable fabric lining
Colour: A brownish-grey shade, labeled as "mushroom" on its tag, with black-and-white check lining (see last picture for most accurate depiction of true colour)
Price: RM40 (original price: RM45)
Status: Sold

Rubi Shoes is a very popular Australian brand, its most distinctive (and beloved) product being its affordable comfortable ballet flats which are great as walking shoes - it has a proper sole that affords some grip, so no slipping and sliding while walking in these uber-versatile shoes! Wear this pair (in an understated neutral shade that goes all too well with your vintage clothes) with pretty summer dresses, floral tops and shorts, or even skinny jeans, it'll still look equally good, complementing your outfits without looking too obtrusive.

Rubi Shoe sprees in Malaysia are currently selling these babies for at least RM45 a pair, not inclusive of postage fees, so why not grab this one at a lower price instead? Purchase this with something else from Rag-Rehome (hold your horses, will be updating soon with plenty of pre-loved and brand new items in the next two days) and I'll throw in further discounts!

Phew... Glitch's Gone (Finally)

Sorry for shifting around the entire blog between two domains, but a bug occurred with the template that I couldn't fix - I think it was probably something to do with the widgets, because even after spending the best part of an hour going through the XML, and then uninstalling and reinstalling the entire template, the problem persisted.

So instead of deleting my blog and starting all over, I got a new URL and reinstalled everything on that. Saved me the frustration and the confusion, and it turned out nicely after all.

There'll be no more domain-name changes after this, I've decided to settle on this one. Thank you for your patience, and I hope you enjoy browsing the items here. I'll add another few batches of pre-loved clothes once I've the time to photograph them - I can't remember the exact blog-site for some items hence no picture to source from the original sellers.

Will update hopefully by next week! And once again, thanks for browsing =)

Rag-Re-home: Série 1

2009-05-16T02:18:00.010+08:00

Topshop-Inspired Sun-dress

Bought from: Absolutely Dress[ed]

I'm selling this off because: Colour doesn't really go with my complexion, AND I've so many sun-dresses I've not even had the chance to wear! Since this has been hanging untouched in my closet for a year already, I figured I might as well sell it off.

Condition: Brand-new, I've only tried it once - and have yet to find an opportunity to wear it.

Size: Free-sized - should fit a size 6-10 easily.

Material: A tactile chiffon (lined to prevent it from being too sheer)

Colour: Deep forest green

Price: RM40 (original price: RM60)
Status: Sold

Purple Jersey-Knit V-Neck Dress

Bought from: Absolutely Dress[ed]

I'm selling this off because: Once again, I've too many dresses I don't wear! And this one is a tad loose on me.
Condtion: Worn three times, but in perfect condition.
Size: Free-sized, but might be slightly too big on those who are a size XS-S like me.
Material: A very comfortable light jersey knit
Colour: Predominantly purple, with black and white stripes.
Price: RM28 (original price: RM55)
Status: Sold

Vintage Sundress

Bought from: Like Seriously
I'm selling this off because: I adore this lovely vintage dress, but it's way too big for me (I wear a size XS-S)! I could probably get it altered, but I've been procrastinating that trip to the tailor's for quite a few months already, and I guess I might never get that done. So instead of letting it gather dust on my clothes rack, I've decided to let it go to someone more deserving instead.
Condition: It's a vintage dress, but in very good condition - no flaws as far as I can see. Does not come with the black ribbon.
Size: Says size 6-8 on the blog-site I bought it from, but would probably suit a size 8-10 better
Material: Some light synthetic material, polyester probably.
Colour: A pale cream with white flowers
Price: RM45 (original price: RM59 inclusive of postage)
Status: Available

Victorian Print Combat Jacket

Bought from: An Old Flame
I'm selling this off because: I've worn this all of two times - and then promptly bought myself a grey sweater, which goes better with the clothes I currently wear on a regular basis. That and the fact I prefer using scarves and shawls better.
Condition: Worn twice, briefly.
Size: Free-sized. Fits size 6-12.
Material: Thick cotton
Colour: Black print on white fabric
Price: RM39 (original price: RM49)
Status: Available

Kelly Bag

Bought from: Threadmark
I'm selling this off because: I bought four bags within the space of a week - and three of them are clutches! I badly need to curb my bag-addiction. Am de-cluttering my room at the moment, and this has got to go - I've more bags than is reasonable. Plus with my current lifestyle, I need my big bags more than dainty clutches - so this one, which I've not used before, had been elected for re-homing.
Condition: Brand-new, never used. Australian brand - Cotton-On.
Size: 12.5" by 11" (unfolded)
Material: PU leather
Price: RM40 (original price: RM57 with postage)
Status: Sold

Envelope Clutch

Bought from: Strawberries and Tea
I'm selling this off because: I need more floor space in my room! And I've wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too many clutches already, which I don't use, since I'm too busy of late, and bigger bags are more suitable for me at the moment.
Condition: Brand-new, never used. Comes with a chain in case you want to use it as a shoulder bag instead.
Size: 12" by 6"
Material: A glossy PU leather
Price: RM40 (original price: RM53 inclusive of postage)
Status: Sold

"So Rihanna" Sexy Strappy Heels

Bought from: Ablinc

I'm selling this off because: I fell in love with this sexy pair of heels, and got them in size 37 (Vincci size 6, according to the seller), but when I got it I couldn't even fit my foot into it as I'm a size 6.5. The cutting's a bit small as well, and would probably fit a size 5.5 or small size 6 better. I would keep it anyway (since I collect nice shoes), but it's just serving as a painful reminder how I can't even cram my foot in for the satisfaction of owning this, so I'm selling it off. Out of sight, out of mind, I say!

Condition: Brand-new, still in box. Couldn't even try it on, my feet were obviously too big =(

Size: 37 (Vincci size 6), but cutting is small. Length of insole: 21.5cm.

Material: PU leather

Colour: Black

Price: RM55 (original price: RM79 inclusive of postage)
Status: Available

Prices are negotiable if you're taking two items and above, together.

HELP NEEDED!

2009-05-15T04:30:00.003+08:00

Severely lacking sufficient wardrobe space. Pre-loved items/brand-new items going cheap, anyone?

I'm selling off my stuff and also some of my sisters' stuff - living in a all-girl family makes the cry of "I have absolutely nothing to wear..." a familiar one that occurs on a daily basis, when wardrobes are in fact overflowing.

I think these clothes deserve someone better, someone who'll actually wear them, instead of leave them to gather dust in a closet. Some of the clothes are brand-new, I've not had the chance to wear them, and I doubt I will anymore, at the rate new garments are being cheerfully acquired.

So do browse the array of items here, and just email me, or leave me a comment (with your email addy, of course) if something catches your eye, and I'll reply to you as soon as I can - my poor unloved, pre-loved clothes need new homes, with appreciative owners who can give them the care and attention they need!
