Our story 

Pre Amada, the Spanish translation of ‘pre-loved’, was established to fulfill a gap in the second-hand market in the UAE. Buying and selling quality, second-hand goods proved a challenging and timely task, often involving multiple platforms.

Thus, the concept behind Pre Amada was born - an efficient, hassle-free and user-friendly single platform to connect sellers and buyers to give their used goods a second home. 

Why Pre Amada?

• Cost-efficient: Why pay full price for quality items that are otherwise collecting dust in a seller’s home without a grateful second owner?
• Environmentally-conscious: Through local handling, reduce your carbon footprint that would have otherwise resulted from traditional consumer freight and shipping activities. Creating an environmentally-sustainable initiative is central to the Founder’s vision and very close to her heart.
• Haggle-free: Engage with users in a reasonable fashion with sensible offers, managed by the Pre-Amada app and website. Sellers can provide a ‘buy it now’ option or buyers can 'offer' on items making it a smooth and comfortable transaction for both buyer and seller.

Shop and support local: Locally-owned Pre Amada was founded by a British expat, residing in Dubai for 9 years, looking for a way to buy and sell pre-loved furniture and chic, trendy clothing within her community.
