5 reasons to start THRIFTING

I’m not about to write a whole essay before I get to the reasons you should thrift… but I will say that I don’t care if you buy pre-loved from me or go on your own treasure hunt at the bins. I DO CARE that you never shop at places like SHEIN ever again!! * BOOOO shame on Shein *

Let’s get into it!!

1. You are making a small positive impact on the environment by giving pre-loved clothing a new life! Circular fashion is not just saving the garment from landfill. It saves a new piece from being made which creates fabric waste in the process, uses plastic in the shipping and individual wrapping, and probably used additional chemicals to dye or treat fabric. 

2. Vintage clothing is still around because it is HIGH QUALITY! It was made with long lasting materials, and a higher level of craftsmanship than your fast fashion options that fall apart after 1-2 wears. 

3. Unique options! You are not going to run into your friend wearing the same dress as you at the prom, or anywhere else for that matter! Vintage is hard to find two identical pieces so you know you are going to stand out! Even with Vintage Levi’s you may find the same style of jeans but the wear marks and level of fading are different for each person. 

4. YOU SAVE MONEY! Buying a brand new silk blouse for $200 is a little ridiculous when you can buy one in beautiful condition from a vintage seller for a fraction of the price! I sell most of my silk tops for less than $50! So buy from me, it’s a win-win for both of us!

5. You might be supporting a small business owner like ME!! That saying about an actual person doing a happy dance when you buy from a small business is so true! We do all the sifting through thrift stores and estate sales and sometimes dirty sketchy sales, to find the gems, clean them up, and bring them directly to you! When all that hard work pays off and we have a happy customer, dancing is inevitable! Not to mention, if you find a vintage seller who matches your aesthetic, you can almost always guarantee they will have something you will fall in love with!

If you need more reasons to buy vintage, give me a follow! I LOVE vintage shopping, and I know it can be a pain, so I am here to help! Let me know what you are looking for and I will do my best to find it for you!

Happy Shopping!

Love,
