The most obvious reason to shop vintage is for the rad fashion & unmatched quality! However, the most important reason is to help slow down the fashion industry. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the amount of textiles (such as clothing & footwear) ending up in landfills has rapidly increased every year since the 1970's. In 2018 alone, there were 11.3 million tons of textiles received by landfills. This is a HUGE number that only continues to grow. You can help stop the cycle! Shop secondhand. Shop vintage.
