Second hand clothes are popular due to being a more sustainable and affordable option compared to brand new items. They also enable consumers to dive into the past and shop for items of clothing from past eras.

Buying second hand clothes is good for the environment because it reduces the demand for brand new items while preventing second hand items from being wasted. Manufacturing brand new items needlessly puts more clothes on the market and has a major carbon footprint.

There are also 92 million tons of clothing-related waste each year. Buying second hand items is a great way to counteract these facts.
