In this Q&A solo episode, I'll share different options for what to do with old or unwanted clothes (that aren't just putting them in bags and dropping them off at a charity shop); tips for upcycling, reusing, and recycling damaged clothes; my personal favorite eco underwear, bras, and socks brands if you don't feel comfy buying those things secondhand; the secondhand stores I shop from; plus a few slow fashion marketplaces to check out if you're looking to make an intentional, new purchase.
