WHY BUY PERVIOUSLY OWNED??

There are so many reasons to purchase "used" or previously owned clothing- even if it is still "New with Tags"- Check out our top reasons to recycle, reuse and reduce our wardrobes!

 

- REDUCING CHILDREN'S EXPOSURE TO CHEMICALS IN CLOTHING

Cotton (found in most clothing) is the MOST PESTICIDE

dependent crop in the world. 

 

- REDUCING EVERYONE'S EXPOSURE TO PESTICIDES (WATER, FOOD, APPAREL)

It takes 1/3 of a Pound of pesticide

to make JUST 1 SHIRT!

 

- CONSERVING OUR RESOURCES; WATER 

It can take up to 700 gallons of water to make a single T-Shirt.

It can also take 1800 gallons of water to make a pair of jeans. 

 

- SAVING MONEY!

Not only is it putting money back into your wallet to sell & donate used clothing it also

saves thousands of dollars each year per family in retail spending. $127 Million worth of

clothing ends up in landfills each year after only being worn one time. 

 

 

- CONSERVING OUR WORLD FOR OUR CHILDREN + GRANDCHILDREN

26 billion pounds of clothes are added to our landfills each year,

95% of these textiles are able to be reused or recycled.
