It’s Second Hand September, a move initially promoted by Oxfam to encourage people to move away from fast fashion and to encourage sustainability.
This year’s campaign is about celebrating style with purpose, choosing second hand instead of fast fashion and supporting climate justice. There are now enough clothes in the world to clothe the next six generations so if someone really needs something new, they are being asked to make it something new to them and second hand.
