I think this is a great idea because I currently haven’t been able to find affordable college gear.”
“Throughout [high school] I've gotten SO MUCH college apparel, but at the end I'd rather be able to re-sell all the different pieces and get more of my specific college... literally love this idea.”

Meet The CE
Patricia Garcia
Founder & CEO
Patricia Garcia is currently an undergraduate student in sunny South Florida at Florida International University (FIU). She is a senior in the Honors College on track to be the first graduate of FIU’s newly established School of Universal Computing, Construction, and Engineering Education (SUCCEED), spearheading the brand-new interdisciplinary engineering degree with a concentration in manufacturing engineering and minor in business management.
She has a passion for developing products that address problems faced by under-served communities and promoting sustainability.
Throughout her time at the undergraduate level, she has worked on projects at institutions across the U.S, including the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), UC Berkeley, Stanford, and others which allowed her to experience distinct campus cultures.
In 2019, she launched "college thrifts" from her college dorm after identifying this unmet need faced by college students around the nation.
“college thrifts” commitment to resale is based on Patricia’s desire to create more inclusive college campuses and eliminate clothing waste - one college student at a time.
