Building ancient resale works
Hana started her journey during the epidemic, as she was first selling on the Internet under the Gremlinzgarmentz handle, focusing on old clothes from the 1960s to early 2000.

A violent reaction to the distributor
When Hana She shared her story On Instagram and Tiktok, reactions have been mixed. Some sympathized, but others criticized her profession, accusing the sellers of “theft from the poor”.

She said that the sellers play an important role in sustainability by encouraging shoppers to choose fast fashion.
“The used fashion revolves around giving new clothes to the new life,” she said. “Not only do you get a unique piece, but you also help reduce waste. Why do you want to wear a shirt owned by another million people as well?”
