Shopping and donating second hand allows us to live life more sustainably.
Oxfam’s Second Hand September campaign is now into its fifth year and here are some tips and tricks for shopping second hand:
- Shop out of season
Think ahead and buy your summer wardrobe in Autumn. And your winter wardrobe in Spring! - Make and mend
Fix items in your wardrobe and get to up-cycle more clothes/textiles. - Be open minded
Don’t be picky with the band of clothes you would opt for. Be open to new brands and find unique items and sizes. - Visit charity shops
Search online sites as well like eBay and Vinted if you are looking for a particular item. - Donate
Donating your pre-loved or even unworn clothing is such a great way to declutter and raise money for charity. - Be prepared to sometimes leave empty handed
You might not always find exactly what you are looking for. But it is al worth it when you have a more unique and planet friendly wardrobe.
Take part in Second Hand September and shop second hand to reduce waste, take a stance against climate change, and help create a fairer world.
