Unpacking Secondhand

On this episode of Unpacking Ethical, we get real about secondhand fashion and sustainability with Natalie of Grey Moon Vintage.
“These are a lot of the questions to ask why fast fashion is a part of the ugly side of the second-hand and the pollution problem.”
On this week’s episode:

Natalie dives deep — explores the dark side of the secondhand fashion industry and what we might not know about it.
We discuss how fast fashion has co-opted sustainability.
The three of us share our thoughts on corporate greed and capitalism, and the challenges of addressing environmental issues we’re facing in fashion and beyond.

Join us as we explore the many angles of secondhand, sustainability, and fast fashion.
