Through this initiative, we aim to reach a large number of customers and encourage them to participate in this garment exchange program and contribute by donating their old clothes. With an exchange of 1.5 Lakh garments and a redemption rate of 73% seen last year, we are certain that this year will see a great success rate as well.”

Raymond has pledged to donate over a million garments through Goonj – an NGO that utilizes urban discard as a tool to alleviate poverty and enhance the dignity of the underprivileged people of the world. This social initiative will give the much-needed impetus to the Tailoring community that was adversely impacted due to the onset of Covid.
