Why Buy Second Hand?Where To Shop For Quality Second Hand or Vintage Clothing Online: I know that there are some people that love the hunt of thrifting, but right now (during covid) it is much more difficult to get to thrift stores. There are many options out there to purchase second hand or vintage clothing and other items online. Several of my frequented sites/apps are Mercari, Poshmark, Depop, The Real Real, Vestiaire Collective. They are all online marketplaces for second hand, thrifted and vintage items. FYI: The difference between second hand and vintage- second hand are previously owned items and vintage is a subcategory of that in which clothes are between 20-100 years old. You can also use Facebook Marketplace, Letgo, Kidizen, Nextdoor, Ebay and Facebook Groups like The Buy Nothing Project and your local swap groups to purchase second hand items. You can sell your second hand or used items on many of these platforms as well! Tips For Purchasing Second Hand Clothing Online:
Final ThoughtsI want to remind you that the most sustainable wardrobe you have is the one in your closet right now. Wear what you have when you can (I need to take my own advice on this one more often.)
In a later post I will include some recommendations for some great sustainable clothing companies- as there are things that we still want first hand (hello underwear) and also, there are times we just want something new to us. It is important to keep companies like this in business too! Vote with your dollar and support businesses that are pushing the fashion industry to be more ethical and sustainable! I am going to wrap this up now as this is getting LONG. If you made it this far, you deserve a cookie. Good for you! And thanks for reading!
