Support Small Business -- Shop Sustainably
-- Shopping secondhand reduces the demand for new clothes and,
in turn, slows down the production of new apparel.
-- Pre-loved clothes get a second life in a new closet instead of being buried in a landfill.
-- Supporting vintage can make a big difference in the fashion industry's environmental impact.
