Happy Earth Day! I thrift the best and leave the rest.
With thirty years in business, it’s amazing to realize how quality has
changed and the absence of many items from the market. Sometimes I find just
what I need in thrift stores. I enjoy thrifting for staging merchandise and the hunt for beautiful antique
and vintage items too.
Since textile is my main business operation, social responsibility is important. One of the most
significant contributions of recycled textile products is their ability to
reduce waste. Only 1% of discarded clothes are recycled. Recycling textiles
generally consumes less energy and generates fewer emissions compared to
producing textiles from virgin materials. Additionally, recycling diverts
textiles from the incineration process, reducing the release of harmful
pollutants and greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. This not only helps
mitigate climate change but also improves air quality. Prioritizing environmental
responsibility, supporting, and adopting recycled textile products can be a
significant step.
