Almost every woman’s wardrobe has a special section for sarees. Be it handloom or fancy, the six-yards of elegance simply adds to the beauty of any woman who drapes it. However, with time, fashion statement changes and the collection begins to seem mundane. That’s where ‘MOS Preloved’ comes in.

The MOS Preloved, an initiative by Susmita Misra, helps women sell
their old sarees (in good condition) with ease. You can sell any of
your sarees on MOS Preloved website–www.magicofsarees.com. Not only that, you can also buy expensive sarees at affordable prices. It
serves as a common platform for both buyers and sellers of preloved
sarees.

 “Many a time, we get bored of wearing the same saree and that piece
takes the bottom spot in the wardrobe for year-round. The MOS Preloved is a common platform that gives women a chance to wear someone else’s expensive saree at a lower price. Customers can buy a saree from the website at 50 to 60 per cent less than the market price,” said CEO Susmita, an MBA degree holder from a reputed management institute.

Just like any other e-commerce platform, customers can buy sarees from
a wide range of collections available on the website–
www.magicofsarees.com. To sell, click on the ‘sell’ tab, provide
personal details and a description of the saree along with a photo of
the same.

Speaking about how it all started, Susmita said about 11 years ago,
she and her sister Suneeta opened a Facebook page ‘The Magic of
Sarees’, where they encouraged women to wear sarees. The idea to
develop an online forum for saree lovers sparked off from a casual
conversation between friends about the ‘saree state of affairs’.
Later, the ‘MOS Preloved’ was launched in July last year giving an
opportunity to women for sell and purchase of preloved sarees, she
added.

“About 30% of the sarees added to the product line belong to my family
and friends. Recently, a woman bought a Mysore crepe silk, a
Kanjivaram, a Bomkai silk and a Coimbatore cotton saree for just Rs
13,200,” the entrepreneur added.
