Baguio City · Textiles pilot 2026
Every piece of clothing, routed to its next use.
SINOP helps Baguio households pass on clothes they no longer wear. Log a piece, and SINOP routes it to a named partner who will wear it, mend it, resell it or upcycle it. You get a receipt that shows where it went.
The gap
Clothes swaps happen once in a while. Clothes pile up every day.
Between swaps, households have no easy, trusted place to send clothes they're done with, so they sit in a bag or end up in the trash.
Episodic options
Swaps and drives come and go. A household that misses one waits weeks for the next.
No proof of where it went
"Donated" often means "dropped off". Nobody can say who received a piece or what happened to it.
Fixers and resellers are hard to reach
Sastre, modista, upcyclers and ukay sellers want good stock but have no steady way to find it.
Our first event · 17 Oct 2026 · Mt. Cloud Bookshop
One afternoon, 172 garments back in play
Our first Clothes Swap and Repair Café brought households, fixers and upcyclers together. Every piece was weighed at the door. Whatever didn't find a new owner is being routed to named partners.

Where the leftovers went
After the swap we checked every leftover piece back into inventory and logged where each one went. Of the 30.7 kg left, about half has already moved on to a new use.

How the app works
Four steps from your closet to its next owner
Match it
SINOP suggests the best next use: swap, mend, resell or upcycle, based on condition and what partners need.
Route it
Drop it off at an event or arrange a handover. Every piece is weighed and logged.
See where it went
The receiving partner signs for it. You get a confirmed slip, and anyone can check it on a public page.

Who we are
It started with our own closets
Four women, four disciplines. We asked 42 people across 33 Baguio barangays what piles up at home. Clothes came up twice as often as anything else.
