Second-hand September is back!

And BAM! Before we knew it September has arrived and with the new calendar month we have an interesting proposition for you…

Originated by Oxfam UK and back for its fourth year, #SecondHandSeptember is here! Never heard of the movement? Here is a quick guide to probably one of the most exciting activities in the fashion calendar.

The idea is simple - the event encourages people to shop only second-hand for 30 days (or ideally more!) to help prioritise people and planet over the economical profit of fast fashion establishments. Need a bit of encouragement? Here are five reasons why you should get involved this year!

🌎 The most sustainable item of clothing is the one already hanging in your wardrobe - why not to give those clothes a second life and adopt a garment from someone else’s closet or start selling yours? If you are new to Loop Generation and would liek to start selling with us, simply follow these steps.

💰 You will save (and earn) quite a lot of money. Pre-loved clothes cost usually 70-80% less than the original price (with the current inflation and the price rises of the luxury goods the difference is gonna be even more dramatic). Selling your own items is a good way of earning some extra cash. According to 2018 study published in Fashion Network, Britons have £10bn worth of unworn clothes in their wardrobes.

👚 You will tackle the fast fashion industry. This giant produces more carbon emissions per minute than driving a car around the world six times. Even though the problem of fast fashion is complex and the responsibility doesn’t only lie with us shoppers only, buying second-hand certainly challenges the throwaway lifestyle.

⭐️ You are not only going to find a unique piece that nobody else is going to wear at the same party, but you are also getting a high quality piece. We have observed that pieces from couple of years ago are contructed way better than what we see in the shops today.

🌈 You’ll become a climate activist. Over the past few years, thousands of people participated in the movement and they keep inspiring others. The huge number of resale platforms similar to ours and fast fashion brands introducing resale to their offerings is a clear sign of a greener and healthier future.
