Why buy thrifted/preloved clothes? 🤔🤔🤔
• Reduce waste. Someone else’s trash is another man’s treasure. Shopping at a local thrift store is a simple and easy way to go green! Live out the “reduce, reuse, recycle” motto!💚💚💚
•Lessen Carbon Footprint. Would you believe that it took around 1,800 gallons of water to produce that pair of jeans you’re wearing now? And that’s only one aspect of the production process that all goes into the clothing industry. What about the manufacturing and the distributing of these clothing items? Each part of the production for a single item has a corresponding amount of energy, carbon footprint and greenhouse gases being generated, all adding further damage to the planet. But each time you thrift an item instead of buying something new from the mall, you are maximizing all the resources spent on each item when you extend its life to the fullest. Plus, making a detour to the thrift store benefits both your wallet and the planet. 💚💚💚
•Sustainable for the Environment. The fashion industry is one of the biggest industries existing, and understandably so, as it is something very personal to each of us. Unfortunately, this makes it also one of the largest pollutants in the environment. This is why thrifting is the best middle ground between the two situations. It’s a win-win for everyone, really. 💚💚💚
• Curate a one-of-a-kind wardrobe. Thrift shopping is a lot like a treasure hunt: you never know what you might find! Finders keepers 😉 Vintage stealssss 🥰
• Score high-quality goods at low prices. Good for the wallet 👌
One of the best things with thrifting is the low prices for good quality clothing and other items. We get to save money and get good deals too? Wow. In thrift shops, you have many options in shopping clothing that would cost you multiple times at department stores. And mind you, these are high quality clothes, branded items. Many thrift finds come from popular brand names and with some clothes, bags, and shoes still with price tags on it! Sometimes there are also new items in many thrift stores too, all for low prices still. Why get it for more at the department store when you can get it for way less at the thrift shop and save a lot of money?😘
• Find your next DIY project. Unique and diverse styles! 😍
• Support the local community. The shoppers leave the store feeling double better with their purchase! It’s both shopping and helping out at the same time. 🤗
Happy shopping thriftieeees! 😘
