@modamensch: a lot of fashion bloggers and content creators peddle things as "sustainable" or "unsustainable" for the wrong reasons and i want to resist the buzzword-ification of something that's actually really important #sustainablefashion #fashion #fashiontok #fashiontiktok #Sustainability #consciousconsumer #fastfashionsucks #swimwear #shopping sustainable fashion, resale fashion, thrifting, ethical fashion brands
I fell for the "thifting is stealing clothes form the poor" until I saw that the backroom of my local thrift shop is bigger and has more stuff than the shop itself. The suply is endlessly.

whenever someone unironically equates buying from shein to overconsuming thrift clothes I know their goal isn't sustainability, it's bragging rights

Wait how could someone say thrifting isn’t sustainable? I mean maybe on comparison to never getting new clothes

I totally agree! But I would consider sustainability and human rights to be measured differently—to conflate them could further confuse an already complex issue. Of course they are both important!

I get the impression that some people think that plastic clothes/shoes just disappear if nobody buys them secondhand.

People forget that thrift stores are often a way for charities to raise money to support programs for the poor. It isn’t just about making clothes available for people at a “cheap” price.

Yes !!! This is why sometimes I kind of hate the word Sustainable since it can be so misconstrued and people can use it without considering ethical labor practices. I prefer saying ethical fashion

truly, this is why I only thrift and only shop vintage stores. I pick my clothes from dusty antique malls.

And oh my gosh this is how I feel about some thrifters weird elitism towards buying certain fabrics and brands at thrift stores and put that onto others
