If you follow me on other platforms, you know that I love secondhand/vintage items, but these days - their sourcing is not considered “thrifting”. I failed to mention how one of the trade-offs for thrifting is supporting small businesses (whether online or in-person) and vintage shops. I’ve met shop owners who love clothes and vintage as much as I do, and it’s really hard not to give them my business!
When I mention polyester, a lot of people tend to believe that they should toss every synthetic fiber out of their closet. This should not be the case. I still do not have a fully “natural” fiber closet. There are some use in synthetic fibers (structure/utility), and some pieces are still wearable with the right care.
I could go on and on in this description box, but I’d rather hear what you think!
