About YAGA
Yaga is the fastest-growing buy & sell app for preloved fashion in South Africa and Estonia. Yaga launched a pilot in Tallinn, Estonia, and expanded to South Africa in early 2020 where it quickly became the number one choice for South Africans for selling their preloved fashion items online. In 2024, we also re-launched in Kenya. With over 1.1M monthly users and 4M items sold, we are growing each month and don’t plan on stopping anytime soon.
Our mission is to boost sustainable lifestyle by providing an online platform for selling and shopping preloved fashion. Supporting local communities by giving everyone the chance to start their online business or to find amazing items for their wardrobe. We aim to make person-to-person secondhand trading as easy and safe as possible, to change the future of shopping.
