The truth is that it is\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">more than just reminiscing past fashion icons and vintage design. It&#8217;s\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">a better and more sustainable way forward for the world of fashion<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0and the impact it has on the environment<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-contrast=\"none\">What&#8217;s So Sustainable About Shopping Pre-Owned?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:40,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The fast fashion industry generates 100 billion garments per year. It&#8217;s one of the most polluting industries in the world after oil.\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Luxury resale and consignment have an important environmental impact in this regard. It extends the life of something that\u2019s already been produced, rather than quickly and unethically creating a trendy new item. These tend to\u00a0be worn for one season and tossed into landfills shortly after purchase.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Re-selling your\u00a0luxury handbags and shoes\u00a0can do a lot more than previously thought.
