Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Reconnect.
We all know that fast fashion has a detrimental effect on the environment so buying preloved is the perfect way to shop if you care about your impact on the planet. Reuse and recycling reduces Co2 emissions, keeps clothing out of landfill and does not add chemicals or production stress to the environment.

From vintage gems to designer pieces, charity shops stock a huge range of brands and styles – the sustainable way to update you wardrobe, or furnish your home, shopping pre-loved gives you the chance to express yourself and explore new styles without breaking the bank, all whilst donating to good causes.

Shop second hand to keep perfectly good clothing from going to waste. Charity shops saved 339,000 tonnes of textiles from landfill in 2018/19. 

According to the waste hierarchy, it’s ‘Reuse’ – which can mean mend, upcycle, resell or donate. And this is naturally where charity shops fall. In the waste hierarchy charity shops are better for the planet than the vast majority of retailers in the world dealing in new goods – who don’t even appear in the hierarchy. What a privilege that is! What a platform from which to speed up the behaviour change we are seeing in shopping trends towards second hand.
