Fabric Industries have a significant impact on the environment, from materials through to production, and although it is wonderful to have the latest fashions if you are trying to live a more eco-friendly life then it is much better to recycle clothing, and utilise all those millions of perfectly good garments that get thrown away every year.
Charity Shops
This is an excellent way to recycle your clothing and pick up new outfits, and charity shops are making much more effort these days to sort through clothing and present it in a more appealing manner. You can pick up good quality
clothes, bags and shoes here at rock bottom prices, and there are plenty of gems in amongst the unfashionable items if you have a good look around.
Online Auctions
eBay and other online auction sites are an ideal place to pick up bargains, but you should avoid the eBay shops selling new clothes and instead look through auctions from private sellers, as they are often clearing out cupboards and
selling good as new clothes that would otherwise be thrown away (not everyone can be bothered to go to the charity shops!). You can pick up second hand designer clothes here very cheaply, and no one but you will know they were second hand.
Swap Parties
The next big thing is swap parties, where groups of friends organises a huge event, where they bring all of the clothes they don’t want to swap with other items from friends. These Swap Parties are great fun, and a fantastic way to
recycle your clothes, accessorise, bags and shoes, and you can make an evening of it by providing drinks and nibbles.
