A SUSTAINABLE fashion business in Glasgow is in the running for a top prize from eBay.
Scottish Preloved, founded by Kenny Warren, has been named as one of six national finalists for the Start-Up Award in the eBay for Business Awards 2025.
Kenny says it is "crazy" to be nominated for the award.
He told the Glasgow Times: "It didn't expect it but I've been putting a lot of work into it for the last three years so it's good to get some recognition.
"We recently joined the Pre-loved Partnership with eBay as well which is an invite only partnership they have with sellers of pre-loved clothing.
"That was a good milestone in itself."
"It would be tremendous."
Founded in 2022, Scottish Preloved sells preloved and occasionally new men and women's clothing.
The majority of its sale are on eBay where it has maintained 100% positive feedback.
Kenny, from Pollokshields, says he was inspired to start the shop after he wrote his Business Management university theses on ethics within the clothing industry.
He said: "What I found is while people care about environmental and human rights issues, they care a lot more about style, quality and price.
"That was often something they wouldn't want to compromise on so I found they would still look towards something that's a bit unethical like fast fashion."
He explained: "We get our stock from multiple places.
"We do a lot of wholesale so a lot of stock gets imported from America and it will sometimes come with Goodwill charity branding, and then there are car boot sales and stuff like that as well.
"The business being nominated on a national scale is quite impressive."
Voting for the eBay for Business Awards 2025 is open until Monday, July 21
