what we Do
Giving Discarded Clothing a Fresh Start
Western Rags, proudly Canadian but with love for our neighbors in the South, is a leading exporter of used clothing, specializing in the clothing, shoes, bags, household items, toys, and more. Our robust supply chain spans the globe, reaching countries across Southeast Asia, Africa, and South America.
Western Rags sources goods from various locations throughout the United States and Canada, selecting items for their quality and potential. These items are then shipped to our partner companies for thorough processing, ensuring they are in excellent condition.
After processing, the goods are categorized and distributed to various markets based on demand and suitability for local culture, climate, fashion, and more. We understand that the value of an expensive pair of high-heeled ladies' shoes may vary greatly in different regions, influenced by culture and terrain.
Nurturing Profitable Alliances
While we are a for-profit company, our vision extends far beyond profitability. We understand the value of fostering partnerships for sustainable growth. Drawing inspiration from industries like airlines and shipping, which have transitioned from competitors to collaborators, we prioritize mutual benefits derived from sales, purchases, and cost reduction in challenging times.
In periods of low demand, we stand firmly beside our suppliers, and in return, they reciprocate when market shortages arise. We maintain continuous collaboration with both our buyers and sellers, cultivating innovative strategies for efficient inventory turnover. For instance, our practice of shipping multiple items in a single container not only saves on warehouse space but also exemplifies our commitment to resourcefulness.
