It has been reported that the clothing industry is responsible for around 4% of the world’s waste.
This is in part due to emergence and proliferation of “fast fashion”, but much of the blame needs to be directed at companies.
Some companies have admitted to destroying clothing with minor errors, or clothing that is simply unsold or out of season.
It’s bullshit.
It’s a crying shame that in someone else’s hands these items would be binned, that’s why we’ve set up a depop shop for our seconds, samples and ex-display items.
The items in the shop have either been used in photo shoots or used in displays (and then fully washed), or have minor printing errors/stitching pulls that are hardly noticeable.
This is reflected in the pricing, along with a further discount as a thank you for helping eliminate unnecessary waste in the clothing industry 🙂
