Episode Rotterdam

Clothing that is dona­ted is depo­si­ted in con­tai­ners belon­ging to cha­rity orga­ni­za­tions. The cha­ri­ties trans­port them to their own warehou­se, whe­re they sort them to sell them to more sor­ting com­pa­nies all over the world. Here they are divi­ded into usa­ble clothing and mate­rial for recycling. 

Tha­t’s whe­re epi­so­de’s emplo­yees come in! They visit com­pa­nies explai­ning to the staff how to sepe­ra­te the ever chan­ging vin­ta­ge fashion from the usea­ble clothes. From all con­ti­nents the selec­ted goods arri­ve at the epi­so­de’s warehou­se, whe­re the gar­ments are washed, repai­red or upcy­cled to make the most of your dona­tion. When ready they are dis­tri­bu­ted to seve­ral Epi­so­de sto­res in Euro­pe for you to come and find the gor­geo­us item!

So as you can see Epi­so­de sells vin­ta­ge clothing, but your money is going to a cha­rity ins­tead of to another per­son selling the clothes. Unli­ke many other sto­res, Epi­so­de also does not accept peo­ple coming in to offer their war­dro­be for con­sig­ment as they only work with charities.
