Description

On cue, Black Friday will take the world by storm next week. Buy, buy, buy. Get the deal. Take advantage of the sale. Send a gift. Treat yourself. The messaging is relentless. But it isn’t the only way. And Black Friday isn’t the only time of year we need to be mindful consumers. This week we sat down with Brooke Bowlin of Secondhand Sustainability. We discuss:

• What is nuance and why is it key to the conversation?
• What are the barrier entries into secondhand fashion.
• Why bother shopping secondhand?
• What to do if you lack access to good secondhand stores.
• Does it really make a difference?
