Born from Frustration, Built for Change

4Cycle began in a Mississauga basement, sparked by one too many disappointing experiences trying to resell clothes online. Our founder Peidra-Ann James had listed a formal dress on a popular platform eight months later, it still hadn’t sold. Meanwhile, local consignment stores were either too far or offered shockingly low returns.

Peidra realized she wasn’t alone. Between the endless haggling, lowball offers, poor payouts, and the constant need to relist or renew items, the process was exhausting, especially for busy people with full lives. Friends shared the same frustrations: taking photos, writing listings, and chasing sales just didn’t feel worth it.

That’s when 4Cycle was born. A 100% online Canadian consignment store designed to make secondhand selling simple, sustainable, and actually rewarding.

"I stumbled through failure time and time again, until I found something worth every fall."
