About Us

Hi and welcome to Queenie’s Rage!

We are a UK based family run business. We started in 2022, on a popular online marketplace site. Whilst this was great, we found it was very controlling, with a lot of hidden fees, and a bit impersonal with our customer base. So, we’ve taken the plunge and started our own website.

We are very proud of what we have achieved so far and what we hope to do in the future. I have taken a ‘crash course’ in website design and online media advertising (with a little bit of help from my teenage/adult kids!) This is all new to us and very exciting, although Mr. Queenie’s Rage is taking a step back from the computer-based activities (not his thing, ha-ha!)

Our ethos, and our by-line, is ‘Recycle, Reuse, Relove’. We want to help save textiles from going to landfill.

{alert 🤓 nerdy facts coming up!}

  • The world produces 92 million tons of textile waste every year.
  • China (20M Tons) and the US (17M Tons) produce the most.
  • Clothing and textiles currently make up at least 7% of the total amount of waste in global landfill space.
  • Between 80 and 100 billion new clothing garments are produced globally every year.
  • 87% of the materials and fibres used to make clothing will end up in either incinerators or landfills.
  • Only 20% of discarded textiles are collected.
  • Only 1% of clothes will get recycled into new garments. 

1%!!!! That’s insane 🤯

   but this is the ugly truth.

We use 3 different ways to help towards a cleaner and greener environment.

  1. Preloved – we sell second hand clothing. This has become a lot more popular.
  2. Vintage – we rescue retro and vintage clothing that may have been discarded years ago to give it new life.
  3. Rescued – our rescued range is new clothing that has been discarded by Online and Highstreet stores due to over ordering or rejection based on fashion trends that would otherwise end up in the dumps.

Prices of clothing has risen dramatically, even in the Highstreet Charity Shops (although we will always support them). With the cost of living getting harder, recycling and reusing is the way forward. We pride ourselves on good quality and great prices.

We do not turn away clothing based on fashion, what we believe people will accept, or seasonal trends. We want our customers to make their own minds up on what they want and what will look good on them.

So come and help us, join our community and embrace being unique! 🥰
