Sustainable Style

Reading Time: 3 Minutes

With sustainability, a little bit goes a long way, so why not start in your wardrobe? 

Second-hand shopping has grown in popularity over the years and for good reason. Traditionally, second-hand shopping only referred to thrift shops or charity shops, nowadays this has expanded to rental companies where you can hire a garment for a night and return this the next day. These pot-of-gold stores offer many benefits to not just your pocket, making them an excellent choice for both buyers and the environment. 

It’s a no-brainer that second-hand shops are filled with hidden gems although, it isn’t just about finding a gem amongst the rough, it’s also about sustainably playing your part and reducing the amount of waste that goes back into landfills. By purchasing or renting pre-loved clothing, you’re helping to extend the life cycle of those garments which may have otherwise been thrown out. 

Lucky for you, Newmarket is home to the best vintage shops and rental businesses which means you don't have to go far to fill this need in your life.
