Fast fashion created a waste crisis
The average American discards about 81 pounds of clothing each year. Most of it ends up in landfill — even pieces that are perfectly fine to wear. The secondhand market exists, but most of it is overwhelming: dusty thrift stores, vague condition notes, no measurements, no photos worth trusting.
AboveGrade is the answer to that problem. Small, curated inventory. Every piece inspected and graded. Cleaned and pressed before photos. Real measurements on every listing. No surprises.
Six steps between "sourced" and "shipped"
Every item goes through a consistent workflow before it ever reaches a customer. We inspect and assign a condition grade — excellent, good, or fair. We clean it (wash or dry-clean) before photos. Steam or press it. Measure every garment. Price it to move, not to sit. Then ship flat-rate to your door.
