Reborn Textiles – Expert Wholesale Textile Recycling and Export Services

Company overview

Reborn Textiles is a UK wholesale supplier of second-hand and recycled used clothing, aimed at resellers and small trading businesses. The company operates from Arrow Mill, Queensway, Rochdale, and states over 30 years of reselling experience behind its buying advice.

Rochdale is not an accidental location. The town sits in the old Lancashire textile belt, and Arrow Mill is one of the surviving mill buildings from that era. A supplier working out of a converted mill in the north west has short logistics into the UK's densest reseller population, which is exactly the audience the offer is built around.

The product tiers

Reborn Textiles publishes five named tiers rather than a conventional letter ladder:

• Mega Bundles - 20 kg mixed clothing parcels
• A Grade Selection - higher quality sorted stock
• Bargain Basement - budget options with promotional deals
• Brand New With Tags - unworn merchandise
• Reseller Mixes - parcels assembled specifically for resale businesses

Standard parcels weigh 20 kg and are priced between £50 and £65. Shipping starts at £7.50 per 20 kg parcel and is free on orders above £150.

What the pricing structure actually tells you

The free shipping threshold at £150 is worth a moment of arithmetic, because it changes the right order size. At £50-£65 per parcel, three parcels clear the threshold. A buyer ordering two parcels pays shipping twice and lands each one at roughly £4 per kilo more than necessary; a buyer ordering three pays none. In a trade where margins are thin, that single line moves the economics more than a small discount on the goods would.

The tier names also do something useful: they describe the commercial purpose rather than pretending to be a technical standard. "Reseller Mixes" tells you the parcel was assembled to be listed, not to hit a weight. Buyers coming from continental suppliers should not try to map these names onto European letters. Read the underlying grades vocabulary and ask what the defect rule is for the tier you want, because a UK trade name and an Italian cream classification measure different things.

Categories, including plus sizes

Stock covers women's, men's and kids' clothing, plus sizes, and seasonal collections split into summer and all-season.

Plus sizes as a published category deserves attention. Most suppliers treat larger sizes as whatever happens to fall into a mixed bale, which leaves resellers serving that market unable to buy reliably. A supplier that separates the category at source is solving a real gap, and for a reseller whose audience needs those sizes it is often the deciding factor between two otherwise similar offers.

The summer and all-season split matters for the same reason it matters anywhere: a parcel weighted with winter goods is close to unsellable in the wrong month or the wrong market. Being able to specify it up front removes a common and expensive surprise.

Who this supplier fits

Twenty-kilogram parcels at £50-£65 are sized for one person to unpack, photograph and list. That places Reborn Textiles firmly with the pack-based suppliers serving marketplace sellers rather than with the container exporters, and the seven-day-a-week phone and WhatsApp support fits the same profile: resellers work weekends.

It does not fit a buyer who needs tonnage at per-kilo export pricing, who is better served by the large European sorting houses. Most growing businesses use both at different stages. Buyers comparing several second hand clothes suppliers should compare cost per sellable item rather than per kilo, and factor the shipping threshold into that number.
