Lowering Your Carbon Footprint

Re-use and recycling offer some carbon savings because the lifetime of clothing is extended.

Most of the carbon emissions come from farming the rare materials that go into fashion. And more CO2 is produced during the manufacturing process. So instead of contributing to the problem, you’ve decided to buy some or all of your maternity wardrobe secondhand.

Second-hand Clothing Isn't travelling as far to get to your door.

That's 19,884 miles!

From the farm to the factories, then over the seas to your favourite brands. Your closet has traveled more than you have! Second-hand shrink these KM's dramatically!


"Textile manufacturing results in 1.2 billion tonnes of CO2 equivalent per year, which is more emissions than international flights and maritime shipping combined.
