Why Buy Secondhand?

Sure, we all like new clothes. But...new clothes don’t have to be from-the-store new to be just as cute or exciting. And what’s even more exciting? Knowing you’re doing a little bit of good for the planet with recommerce.

Millions of people are rethinking their purchasing habits across all areas of their lives. With ever-growing demands for high fashion at a low cost, energy-draining production of new goods is causing pollution everyday in waste water and chemical dumping. Did you know that each year 15 million tons of textile waste is created in the US, with 10.5 million of those tons being sent to the landfill—numbers which have doubled in the last 20 years.

The apparel industry is second only to the oil and gas industry for global environmental pollution, and worsening with constant entrants in fast fashion, as well as growing demands by consumer for newer, faster, cheaper fashion by their favorite brands.
