clothes donation · free pickup in kolkata
donate clothes in Kolkata.
Kolkata keeps clothes longer than most cities, and keeps them better — handloom and good cotton are bought to last here rather than to last a season. The result is that a Kolkata donation often contains older pieces in better condition than newer pieces from elsewhere, which is precisely the kind of thing somebody is hunting for second-hand.
what you get for it
- 150 She Coins per piece we can re-home — about ₹37 off a future order. 4 coins = ₹1.
- Coins pay for up to 50% of an order at checkout. They are store credit, not cash — they cannot be withdrawn.
- Collection costs nothing. A ₹100 confirmation deposit is held when you book and refunded if you cancel at least 24 hours before.
- Coins are credited after the bag is sorted, for every piece we can actually re-home — which is why the booking page says "up to".
free home pickup in Kolkata
There is nothing to carry anywhere and no drop-off point to find. Clothes donation pickup in Kolkata happens at your doorstep, at a time you choose. It is a free pickup in the plainest sense — we come to you and it costs nothing — collected by courier on exactly the same terms as everywhere else we reach. Most services in this space either ask you to drop a bag off yourself or charge a convenience fee for collection; this does neither.
You can donate old clothes you have not worn in a year, pieces that no longer fit, or a whole wardrobe you are clearing after a move. Nothing needs washing or ironing first. The only thing we ask is that a piece is in a condition someone else would be glad to receive — and if you are unsure about something, call +91 98906 65697 and ask before the pickup rather than after.
how a Kolkata pickup works
- Book a date, or call and we'll book it with you.
- Bag the pieces. Nothing needs washing or ironing first — we do that.
- We collect from your door in Kolkata between 8:00 am and 8:00 pm, Monday to Saturday. We call before setting off.
- The bag is sorted and quality-checked, then your She Coins land in your account.
questions, answered.
- Do you take handloom and older saris from Kolkata?
- Yes, and age is not a problem — condition is what matters. A well-kept older handloom piece is more re-homeable than a newer synthetic one, so it is worth sending rather than setting aside.
- Can I donate clothes and earn money?
- Not cash — store credit. She Thriftss credits 150 She Coins for each piece we can re-home, and 4 coins are worth ₹1, so a piece earns about ₹37 off a future order. Coins can pay for up to 50% of an order at checkout. They cannot be withdrawn, transferred or exchanged for money. If you are looking to be paid in cash for clothes, this is a donation programme rather than a resale one and we are not the right fit.
- Do I get anything back for donating my clothes?
- Yes. She Thriftss credits She Coins for donated pre-loved clothing — 150 She Coins for each piece we are able to re-home. 4 She Coins are worth ₹1, so a donated piece is worth about ₹37 off a future order. Coins are credited after the bag has been sorted and quality-checked, because how many pieces can be re-homed is not known until someone has looked at them.
- How much are She Coins worth?
- 4 She Coins equal ₹1. They are redeemed as a discount at checkout, and up to 50% of any order can be paid with coins — the rest is paid normally. Coins are not cash and cannot be withdrawn or transferred.
- Is home pickup free, and do you collect at my doorstep?
- Yes to both. Clothes donation pickup is free everywhere we collect, and it happens at your doorstep — there is no drop-off point to travel to and no collection fee. Most services in this space either ask you to drop the bag off yourself or charge a convenience fee; this does neither. A ₹100 confirmation deposit is held when you book and is refunded if you cancel at least 24 hours before, so that a scheduled collection is a real one.
- Can I donate old clothes and get a discount?
- That is exactly how it works. Donate old clothes you no longer wear and you get a discount towards a future order: 150 She Coins for every piece we can re-home, worth about ₹37, redeemable against up to 50% of an order at checkout. There is no minimum number of pieces and the pickup itself is free.
- How does clothes donation work at She Thriftss?
- Book a collection on the donate page or call +91 98906 65697. Pickup is free anywhere in India, Monday to Saturday, between 8:00 am and 8:00 pm, and can be scheduled up to 45 days ahead. In Pune and Bengaluru a member of the team collects the bag in person; elsewhere it is a courier collection on the same terms. Nothing needs washing or ironing first. Once the bag is sorted, She Coins are credited for every piece we can re-home.
- How does donating clothes to She Thriftss work?
- Book a pickup on the donate page with your address, the number of pieces and a date. We collect between 8:00 am and 8:00 pm on the day you chose, Monday to Saturday, and call before setting off. The pieces are then cleaned, photographed and listed individually, and She Coins are credited for every piece we can re-home.
- Which days can clothes be collected?
- Monday to Saturday. We do not collect on Sundays. A pickup can be booked up to 45 days ahead.
- What kind of clothes can I donate?
- Pre-loved womenswear in a condition someone else would be glad to receive — sarees, lehengas, kurta sets, dresses, tops, bags and jewellery. If you are not sure whether something counts as one piece or whether we can take it, call +91 98906 65697 before the pickup.
