5 : Why we can't rely on the second hand industry forever
03/25/20 • 12 min
Second hand clothes may be a great alternative to fix all the issues related to the fashion industry, but in this episode, I explain to you why we can't rely on it forever.
So here are the major downsides of the second hand industry:
1. Fast fashion is overly produced, consumed and given away, so that's what we find in thrift stores
2. Clothes can't last forever : We will always need to produce new ones (but ideally in a slow fashion approach)
I really hope it will help you create your own opinion about the second hand industry !
