1. Organise your wardrobe
Keep or toss? Living in a land-scarce city like Hong Kong, Marie Kondo-ing your closet is a necessary evil you have to go through regularly to maximise storage space.
Take out all the items from your wardrobe and put them into different categories: toss, donate and customise. Ask yourself, “Do I love it? Does it fit? Does it have a special meaning? Is it in good condition?” These are some questions you should think of prior ditching or donating items that no longer serve you.
For the most treasured, luxury pieces—from your Chanel tweed jacket to Burberry trench coat and Celine classic box bag—give them some love by cleaning, or customising to repair minor damages like missing buttons, small rips and stains. If you’ve decided to part ways with your beloved items, while wishing to have them appreciated by fashion lovers like you, online luxury reselling platform Vestiaire Collective will lend you a hand. You can also try Farfetch's new luxury repair service to extend the life of your favourite designer shoes, bags and leather goods.
