What is Circular Fashion and how can you help

Circular fashion refers to a sustainable model in the fashion industry that focuses on reducing waste and extending the life of garments. It aims to create a closed-loop system where resources are reused and recycled instead of following the traditional linear model of produce, use, and dispose. 

How can you help? By consigning your clothing! It's a fantastic way to contribute to circular fashion. Here are the key benefits:

Let someone else give your unloved clothing a second chance.

1. Extending Garment Lifespan

• By consigning clothing, you're giving pieces a second life. Instead of ending up in landfills, your garments are reused by others, significantly reducing waste.

2. Reducing Fashion Waste

• Millions of tons of clothing end up in landfills each year. Consignment helps divert this waste by encouraging reuse, ensuring that items remain in circulation.

3. Promoting Sustainability

• Consigning supports sustainable fashion by reducing the need for new manufacturing, which typically uses energy, water, and raw materials. By selling secondhand clothes, you're conserving these valuable resources.

4. Financial Returns

• You can earn money for gently used clothing through consignment. This allows you to monetise items you no longer wear while contributing to a more sustainable fashion industry.

5. Encouraging Mindful Consumption

• When people consign their clothes, they become more conscious of their purchasing habits, moving toward buying higher-quality, timeless pieces instead of fast fashion.

6. Supporting Local Businesses

• Consigning often involves working with local shops like Reinvent Boutique, fostering community engagement and supporting small, sustainable businesses.

7. Closet Decluttering with Purpose

• Consigning offers a practical way to clear out your wardrobe while knowing your clothes will find new owners who appreciate them, instead of adding to environmental harm.
