A lot of the overconsumption happening in our country and across the globe right now comes from fast fashion trends. Fashion companies mass-produce clothing at low cost to fit the trend du jour. This method usually includes low-quality materials and low wages for workers. Since the garment isn't made to last, it feels like it's only good for a few wears; then people often don't think twice about throwing it away.
This leads to huge amounts of clothing being purchased annually. And huge amounts of textiles in the landfill.
Be a part of the change this holiday season, and help break the cycle!
*Purchase intentionally and try not to give gifts out of obligation.
*Shop second hand and support and small businesses.
*Choose quality items.
*Resist micro-trends - find your own, unique style! (we can help with that too! Our resale manager, Christina is also a world class stylist!)
*If you have to buy new, support brands committed to sustainability.
