00:00Glasgow Restore came about, well we're obviously a sneaker laundry, that's our main business

00:07and we realised that there was an appetite for customers to sell us some shoes that they were

00:12no longer wearing so we came up with the idea of selling pre-loved sneakers initially and then

00:21obviously that just grew arms and legs where we now have as I say hundreds of different items of

00:28clothing, caps, accessories, collectibles, as I say we source it from all across the globe.

00:35So some of the brands that we have in store typically Stone Island, CP Company, Supreme,

00:40Palace, we also have you know a good selection of Levi's, Edwin, Japanese Denim,

00:48I say it really ranges, you know we've got some nice stuff at the moment from Nike, ACG,

00:53you know we've got some high-end stuff, some Balenciaga, some Prada, Gucci, it really just

01:00say it varies so much right from you know a kind of affordable 20-30 quid Adidas and Nike

01:07tops right up to you know CP Company and Stone Island you know jackets at 1800 pounds so

01:15say there's a bit in there for everyone, we do like to keep it as I say fresh so as I say there

01:21is stuff arriving almost on a daily basis so definitely worth checking out regularly. Myself

01:26and Alan were from a sneaker background and you know the whole the whole kind of recycling

01:32you know thing appealed to us you know keeping shoes out of landfill and I think it comes down

01:36to the idea again with the clothes as you know we're all you know there's no need for these to

01:43be just sitting in people's wardrobes, other people can get use of them so as I say rather

01:49than you know just throwing things away I think we've all got a little bit of an eye on you know

01:54kind of sustainability now and quite rightly so and keeping you know things out of landfill

02:00and as I say trying to you know maybe look after the world a wee bit better than we have done

02:05previously as I say I think a lot of us have been focused really on you know kind of fast fashion

02:11for a while but as I say I think there has been a little bit of a shift recently where people are

02:17looking more to buy less of but you know kind of more quality driven items so as I say that

02:26kind of fits in perfectly with what we're trying to do with the Glasgow eStore brand.
