Ah, the world of fashion—a place where trends come and go faster than a TikTok dance challenge. But one debate never goes out of style: Should we wear animal-derived materials? Leather, wool, cashmere, silk, angora—these luxurious fabrics have been wardrobe staples for centuries, but their ethical implications are as tangled as last season’s scarf in the back of your closet.

If you’ve ever scrolled through social media, you’ve likely seen the heated debates about thrift resellers. Some argue that resellers are snatching up the best finds and driving up prices, making it harder for those in need to shop affordably. But is that the whole story? Or are resellers actually helping to extend the life cycle of secondhand goods and keep more items out of landfills?

Let’s talk fabric - not all are created equal! Some are breathable and kind to the planet, while others are basically plastic in disguise, shedding microplastics like an overexcited golden retriever.

So, if you’ve ever wondered what your clothes are really made of and whether they’re doing the Earth any favors, let’s break it down—fabric by fabric.

Let’s be honest—Earth is kind of a mess right now. Between overflowing landfills, plastic-filled oceans, and an atmosphere that’s hotter than your ex’s bad takes, things aren’t looking great. But before we start pricing one-way tickets to Mars (spoiler: they don’t exist yet), let’s talk about something we can do—reducing and reusing!

Not a sewist? No worries—we got you covered (just like that hole in your jeans). Visible mending is a fun and creative way to repair your clothes while making a statement.

Fast fashion is defined as “inexpensive clothing produced rapidly by mass-market retailers in response to the latest trends.” In other words, it’s the fashion industry’s version of a whirlwind fling—cheap, exciting, and over before you know it.
