A pioneering enterprise opened the “Toirog” charity shop opened in August 2020. The shop collects old second-hand and distributes them, promoting a culture of environmentally friendly use of old clothes.
The store recycles and sells more than 2 tons of old clothes every year and a half. The fashion classifies outdated clothing, and in collaboration with young designers, updates the design to create a unique “upcycled second-hand” design.
The founders of the store want to further develop this business with a franchise system and open it in every corner of Mongolia.
They have recently opened an online store called “Shkaf.mn.” Agnuush, a photographer who co-founded the store, said, “We buy old clothes from people and resell them.
The tax rate for such services is quite high. Therefore, we are planning to initiate and approve a draft law to create a favorable tax environment for businesses in this area.”
