Raveival was born from a simple truth: there is already enough clothing on this planet to clothe the next six generations. The festival scene reflects this excess, with nearly 27 million new festival outfits bought each year—and one-third of them worn only once (ThredUp). We realized that as a festival community, we’re contributing to this waste, and it’s time for a shift in how we approach fashion.

Raveival was created because it was nearly impossible to find unique, thrifted festival wear. We knew our community needed a dedicated secondhand marketplace for festival fashion. Our name is a fusion of “rave” and “revival,” symbolizing our mission to give new life to fashion on the dance floor and reimagine festival culture’s sustainability.

At our core, Raveival exists to make festival fashion more inclusive, sustainable, and affordable. We believe in fashion as a form of self-expression. That’s why we’re passionate about fit, helping buyers and sellers connect over body types so that everyone can find clothing that they feel great about. Raveival is a space where all ravers are welcome, where individuality thrives, and where festival fashion is accessible to everyone.

We are building a future where fashion isn’t just about looking good—it’s about feeling good, knowing that your style choices positively impact the planet. By embracing circular fashion, we reduce waste and conserve resources, allowing ravers to express themselves freely without harming the environment.

Festivals can be financially straining, and we wanted to change that. By making it easier to buy and sell secondhand, we’re making it affordable for you to find the looks you love. Raveival exists because the festival community deserves to look and feel great without breaking the bank.

That’s our “why.” Together, we’re dancing towards a more sustainable and inclusive future.
