Swapping is the core essence of our brand, and we have been doing it for a while now. So, we are here to teach you why swapping is so important and why you and your friends should be swapping and styling your clothes.
It’s Cheaper
Swapping makes it cheaper for you to swap out your clothes and keep a fresh and up-to-date wardrobe. You’ll never have to show up twice in the same dress, and it’ll cost you a lot less as well. Each set of 3 swaps costs you £20 a month at Secondhand Styling, and that's without the added benefits included. This allows you to get three new pieces every month for the price of one new piece in an average high-street fast-fashion brand.
It’s Easier
Swapping is so much easier than shopping. Everything is stored in one place with shopping and the styles change constantly so if you can’t find something that you love today try tomorrow. With swapping brands, including Secondhand Styling, there are set steps that will guide you throughout the process, making it easy and simple to swap. Also, most swapping brands are extremely well curated, which helps you have the easiest and smoothest shopping process possible.
It’s Healthier for the Planet
Although it sounds repetitive, swapping is one of the most ethical ways to shop. It allows there to be a circular cycle of clothing, stopping new pieces from being made in their millions. Pre-loved pieces come in (the customer takes something from the shop), the product gets mended and sold, and this goes around in a circle as that said product takes the other pieces' place. This allows everyone to experiment and have a moving and growing style without the harmfulness of buying new every time. Buying secondhand instead of new clothing reduces carbon emissions by an average of 25%.
