We are Bart & Mischa, the founders of ReRags Vintage Clothing Wholesale.
Our story began long before ReRags existed: in fact, even before we were born. Our mothers were friends, and because of that, we grew up side by side in Amsterdam, almost like brothers. From delivering newspapers together as boys to building ReRags, we have shared everything in between.
After more than a decade of working in vintage clothing, we decided in 2009 to take the next step and build something of our own. That is when ReRags was born. Since then, we have put our heart and soul into creating the best possible product for our customers, always driven by passion, quality and a love for vintage clothing.
From the beginning, we wanted to do things differently. ReRags became one of the very first online vintage clothing wholesalers to sell products in 10kg packages. By doing so, we made wholesale vintage clothing more accessible to smaller retailers and resellers, giving them the opportunity to start or grow without having to buy huge volumes at once. At the same time, we have always served larger customers as well: from other wholesalers to established retailers and store chains with multiple locations. This mix of customers has helped shape ReRags into the company it is today.
Over the years, ReRags has grown into much more than just the two of us. We are proud to have built a dedicated team around us: people who have helped shape the company in their own unique ways, some of whom have been with us since the very early days. Each team member has brought their own expertise, perspective and energy, contributing to the growth and identity of ReRags.
We are also deeply grateful for our customers. Many of them have been loyal to us for years and some have been buying from ReRags since the early days. Their trust, support and continued belief in what we do have played an important role in our journey. Without them, ReRags would not be where it is today.
Today, we are both fathers, and that new generation has given us an even richer perspective on what we do and why we do it. What once started as two young boys with a newspaper route has grown into a beautiful company with fantastic people behind it.
For that, we are proud, grateful and more motivated than ever to keep building the ReRags story.Bart & Mischa
