Zaars

Zaars is a peer-to-peer marketplace for South Asian clothing – both new & pre-loved – designed to make Desi fashion more accessible, sustainable, and community-driven. Our platform connects boutique retailers and individual sellers with a national audience. For sellers, Zaars uplifts small brands, boutiques, and individual closets buy spotlighting inventory through social media and in-person activations; for buyers, Zaars creates a one-stop shop to explore Desi fashion. Our platform is built specifically for these clothes, incorporating standardized sizing and measurement fields, in-app chat, one-click resale, and integrated shipping to make buying & selling as seamless as possible for our users. Our mission is to make Desi fashion more accessible and sustainable in the U.S.– especially for those who love the culture but feel priced or logistically out of it. Zaars also serves as a platform for stories, preserving diasporic experiences & voices beyond just the clothes through our 'cloth & culture' blog.
