Why should you buy pre-loved?

Children grow so fast and you would be shocked if you worked out how much an item costs you per wear!

It fights fast fashion

Buying secondhand makes a massive difference and you can get some amazing items. The fast fashion industry is the second biggest polluter. By buying pre-loved you are becoming part of the slow fashion revolution!

When you buy preloved you can explore a whole range of items, things that you are in love with and on trend items without paying top prices.

This weight of clothing would produce around fifty tonnes of carbon emissions (162,000 miles in a car). 

The carbon footprint of new clothes bought in the UK each month is greater than flying a plane around the world 900 times.

One new shirt produces more carbon than driving a car for 35 miles.
