Fast fashion’s problem

are extensive and well reported

– from issues with pay

and working conditions for producers

to concerns about the environmental impact

of factory processes

and the waste caused

by our throwaway culture.

According to Wrap,

an estimated £140m worth of clothes

goes to landfill every year.

are tapping into the millennial and generation Z market.

But if people are buying secondhand

they're not buying new.
