I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again:
Please Be a Closet Environmentalist!
There’s no reason not to bring joy and beauty to ourselves and others through our dress, but there is every reason to make the right choices about what we choose to hang in our closets.
I wear and sell vintage fashion. I started because this was economical for me, and I loved what I could find. But the more I knew about garment manufacturing, the more I believed in vintage fashion as a truly wonderful form of reuse. Talk about a win-win, avoiding new environmental damage while having a smorgasbord of sartorial finery from the past!
Cute, fashionable, new clothing—cheaply and quickly produced—is fast fashion. It has become the standard in fashion merchandising. What you will often get with fast fashion:
dangerous and even lethal working conditions for the workers
air, soil and water pollution from its production
enormous waste dumped on the planet when it goes unsold or is discarded
It’s really simple: Fast fashion robs the world. You can help the world with your actions and that includes what you wear.
Lots of you are already passionate about vintage for many good reasons. Looking to your closet to help the environment is yet one more great reason that vintage makes the world a better place. It’s because of my great customers that I’ve been able to raise awareness and funds for endangered species and their habitats. I care, and so do you—and I’m very thankful that you do.
