A brief introduction...

As in introductory blog post, here’s a brief run-down on exactly what OneNoffs, a social enterprise founded by Rupert Noffs is all about.

To put it simply, OneNoffs is a vintage clothing store with a modern twist. The clothing we receive often harbours huge potential. The fabrics, craftsmanship and style may be stunning, but sometimes vintage clothing can lack that ‘edge’ that makes it wearable today. So, we send off our clothing to up and coming designers. These designers rework the clothing – updating the cuts, lengths, removing parts, adding features – the list goes on! The reworked garments are then sold exclusively through our OneNoffs store, with proceeds going to charity (designers receive 20% of the final sale price). When customers buy from OneNoffs they’re not only buying vintage fashion, but also fashion with a conscious. Think of it as ‘charity-chic’.  

With a very LA feel about them, One Noffs is encouraging design students and designers from around Sydney to get involved. In the words of founder Rupert Noffs “The opportunity for young designers to come into the store and mix and match, snip and sew clothes, is a very exciting and entrepreneurial idea for young people to get involved in.”

So, if you’re a up and coming or already established designer in Sydney and you would either like to get your name and designs out there, or simply give something back to a good cause – get in contact with us now!

With an all-new Oxford Street location for OneNoffs, a YouTube sitcom being filmed, and an array of other exciting projects in the works, the brand is going from strength to strength and is set to become one of Sydney’s top vintage fashion retailers.
