We all know the benefits of recycling in terms of making the most of the planet's resources and this is especially relevant for second hand clothes. There are loads of charity clothes shops on most major high streets which have benefit from both being a great means of recycling but also generating funds for various causes- both seem pretty sensible to me!
Oxfam have jsut announced this week the opening of a couple of "boutique" stores in London, which will offer a collection of donated fashion items, Fair Trade, organic, recycled and restyled clothes and accessories.
They appear to have teamed up with a load of students from the London School of Fashion to produce ranges of clothes from sustainable and recyclable means.
Read more about it from the Oxfam webpage.
Hopefully more stores like this will start emerging soon and really promote greener clothes, hopefully ending up being a really good scheme. Plus you've got to admit that everyone loves a bit of vintage clothing!
and if we all walk together then we'll get there a lot quicker (apologies for the cheesy metaphor!)
