“The British Fashion Council has said that we have enough clothing on the planet to dress the next six generations”.  That means enough for you and your Great, Great, Great, Great Grandchildren!!!! ❓ What can we do to reduce the excess production ❓ 📈 Pre-Owned Clothing is a surging market Last week eBay announced the removal of selling fees in the UK for private sellers, aligning themselves with the likes of Vinted and supporting growth in the second-hand market. Drapers have said that the second-hand market “is on track to take 10% of global fashion revenue by 2025.” Many retailers are now offering second-hand initiatives such as M&S, Zara and H&M group. Yet some brands are going one step further and offering a fully circular model. ZIG+STAR has won Best Circularity Initiative at Drapers Sustainable Fashion Awards, 2 years in a row. Ali McAleavy (Cullen) has designed shoes to grow with your child’s feet and therefore can be worn for longer (& passed on if you can), reducing your environmental impact . It not only reduces carbon emissions from reduced production but also decreases the amount going to landfill. ZIG+STAR's trade in scheme allows you to send your outgrown pair back & they will do all they can to keep them going by either: 👟 Donating to their partner charity – Sal's Shoes 👟 Resold 👟 Or recycle them free of charge with their recycling partner. (plus you get £5 credit note for your trouble and to cover cost of shipping). It was great to see Sal's Shoes feature in Drapers this month. Sal's Shoes won Best Sustainable Initiative at the Drapers Footwear Awards 2024 for its distribution of 20,000 pairs of Clarks shoes to children displaced by the 2023 Turkey earthquake. Sal's Shoes finds new feet for preloved shoes across the UK & internationally, transforming the lives of disadvantaged people. An amazing story, please read.
