When people think of thrift, they usually think of saving money or scoring unique pieces. But at GRN&Co, thrifting means something much deeper. For us, second-hand clothing is not just a product. It’s a platform that supports local talent, especially young women from Nagaland who are using fashion to shape their futures.

This is not just about what you wear. It’s about where your clothes come from, and who they empower.

Creating Jobs, Not Just Outfits

GRN&Co is run by a close-knit team of young women from the hills of Nagaland. Each one plays a vital role — from sourcing and sorting to styling, packing, and customer service.

In many parts of India, especially in remote regions, opportunities for girls and young women are still limited. GRN&Co offers more than employment. It offers a platform to:

  • Earn a stable, dignified income

  • Contribute to household needs

  • Support educational goals

  • Grow into creative professionals and entrepreneurs

These young women are not employees. They are the reason the business works.


Local Fashion, Local Futures

There’s a ripple effect when you support local, women-led businesses. With every order:

  • Money stays within the community

  • Jobs are created where few existed before

  • Young women gain hands-on experience in both creative and operational roles

Your purchase at GRN&Co supports circular fashion and strengthens the economic roots of a community that’s often overlooked by larger markets.

Not Fast Fashion, Not Charity  Something Real

This isn’t about charity or pity. The women at GRN&Co don’t need saving. They need opportunity. And they are making the most of it.

Each piece of clothing they touch carries their attention, their creativity, and their story. When you buy a thrifted item here, you’re not just shopping you’re investing in someone’s potential.
