Okay, like, I just spent 2 hours in a rabbit hole about ‘sustainable’ fast fashion brands… and I’m calling BS. Who else is ditching that for thrifting entirely? :woman_detective::sparkles:

Preach! I scored a vintage Levi’s jacket for $15 at the thrift store. Not only did I save money, but I also saved a piece from landfill :flexed_biceps::coat:

I tried researching those ‘sustainable’ options too… turns out they still don’t pay workers living wages. Not vibing with that :globe_showing_europe_africa::thinking:

Thrifting is literally a treasure hunt every time! Found a brand new pair of Docs once for $20. :exploding_head: No fast fashion wannabe can top that experience.

FYI: The textile industry is one of the largest polluters. Thrifting vs. fast fashion? It’s like choosing a walk in the park over a factory tour :factory::man_walking:

100% agree. Plus, thrifting has that unique factor. No one else will have your fit. Individuality > Mass production :cyclone::dress:

Ethical consumerism can’t be achieved if workers aren’t treated fairly. Thrift stores support local charities & communities. :triangular_flag::glowing_star:
