Thrifting: sustainable or consumerist?

Has thrifting a once sustainable practice, just become another way to feed the consumption machine?  This episode unpacks the trend of second-hand goods, the pressures of social media, Depop re-sellers and the major jump in prices across all opportunity shops.  The second-hand market is expected to increase by 126% by 2026, this is three times faster than the global apparel market.  So, it’s clear thrifting is here to stay and societies issues with over consumption are too.
