REASONS WHY WE SHOULD ALL BE SHOPPING SECOND HAND
OTHER THAN JUST “ITS BETTER FOR THE ENVIRONMNET”
Affordability: Second hand items are usually significantly cheaper than buying brand new, so no need to go into the student overdraft for a new outfit!

Unique and Vintage Finds: Buying second hand offers a treasure trove of unique and one-of-a-kind items. Charity and Vintage shops often carry retro pieces that you wouldn’t be able to find anywhere else, meaning you’ll never match outfits with someone
Quality and Durability: Second hand items are often much better quality as they were manufactured in the past to a higher standard than fast fashion products are today
Expressing Personal Style: Buying second hand allows you to experiment with your style and create unique fashion statements
Your money is often going to a good cause: Buying from a charity shop means your money is going towards a social or environmental cause
