Replastex is Nigeria and the UK's first managed marketplace for high-value fabric afterlife. We unlock the value in aso-oke, French lace, brocade and ankara, and connect it with the creators building what comes next.
Editorial placeholders, replace with photography on upload.
In Abuja, Lagos, and across the diaspora, asoebi traditions move enormous volumes of premium fabric, French beaded lace, aso-oke, brocade, ankara, bought at exorbitant prices, worn once, then quietly stored away.
Tailors and fashion houses accumulate studio surplus. Households inherit yardage with no second life. The fabric is too valuable to discard, too specific to resell casually, and too fragmented for any single buyer to source at scale.
That gap is the marketplace.
Catalog fabric by type, weight, condition. Photos optional, we can shoot on pickup.
Schedule a collection, bi-monthly cadence for households, on-demand for studios.
We sort, weigh, and verify. Once matched, you're paid against the verified weight.
Filter by fabric type, weight, condition and origin hub. Every lot is traceable.
Order swatches before committing. Direct procurement, transparent pricing.
Each batch carries origin and chain-of-custody data, ready for your impact reporting.
Where the fabric story lives, asoebi events, tailor networks, household yardage. 20+ active households on bi-monthly pickup.
Where verified inventory meets European sustainable brands, upcyclers and material innovators.
Replastex began with 20+ households on a bi-monthly plastic pickup route. Textile is the lead wedge today, the cultural and economic case is sharpest there, but the thesis was always multi-material circularity.
The infrastructure scales: same managed pickup, same verification spine, same buyer network. Plastic stays part of the roadmap, not a footnote.
