Over 1.9 million tonnes of textile waste is produced each year (www.earth.org). With much of this heading to incineration or landfill, we urgently need to rethink our approach to clothing and reduce-reuse-recycle more textile products. For those special events in life, the right outfit generally isn’t an everyday wear item. This is an ideal opportunity to think about pre-loved quality clothes that can be enjoyed and then passed along.
