شناسا — shanasa. It means familiar. Someone you already know.
Everything here has been loved before
Shanasa started in Islamabad with a simple frustration: good clothes in Pakistan cost more than most people can justify, and the alternative is fast fashion that falls apart in three washes.
There is a third option. Somewhere out there, a well-made jacket has already been bought, worn a handful of times, and set aside. It has years left in it. It just needs to find the next person.
That's the whole business.
What makes us different
We grade everything
Every piece carries a condition grade from A+ to D, and we tell you exactly what the flaws are. Not "gently used." Not "good condition." A specific description of the specific mark on the specific garment, photographed.
Buying preloved online usually means hoping. We'd rather you knew.
We measure everything
Sizing labels lie, especially on older clothes and across brands. So we measure every piece flat, in centimetres, and publish the numbers. Lay something you already own next to those numbers and you'll know if it fits before you order.
One of each
Nothing here is restocked. When a piece sells, it's gone. That's the nature of preloved — and it's why we photograph each item individually rather than using catalogue shots.
Priced for real people
Our Under Rs. 1,500 collection isn't a clearance section. It's the point. Good clothes shouldn't require a big budget, and we'd rather sell more pieces at fair prices than fewer at inflated ones.
Where the pieces come from
Sourced, sorted, cleaned and photographed by hand in Islamabad. Everything is washed or professionally cleaned before it's listed, and checked properly — particularly the branded pieces, where fakes are common and we'd rather turn something away than pass on a doubt.
Can't find what you want?
Tell us what you're looking for and we'll try to source it. Brand, size, budget — send it over and we'll let you know if we can find it.
