The French company Carrefour has opted for the textile circular economy by adding two of its establishments in Madrid and Barcelona some corners to market second -hand clothes.
These two sales points have been managed with the collaboration of Patapam, a company specialized in second -hand garments that has managed to make a name within the sector.Thus, since last summer, Carrefour has managed to market more than 4.000 units of clothing in the categories of baby, child, woman and man.

The garments put up for sale are of all kinds: summer clothes, winter, pants, t -shirts, sweaters, booties, sweatshirts, etc..So the catalog that any user can find is quite extensive.
