Uni­ted Ward­ro­be is a Dut­ch mar­ket­pla­ce for second­hand fas­hi­on.

Buying second hand is always bet­ter than buying new, even from a very sustai­na­ble brand. The fas­hi­on indu­stry is one of the most pol­lu­ting indu­stries in the world. The manu­fac­tu­ring of clothing requi­res mate­ri­als, water, ener­gy and che­mi­cals and is often at risks of vio­la­ting labor rights and ani­mal wel­fa­re. Then there’s pack­a­ging, trans­porta­ti­on and other impacts you don’t even think about. Whi­le pack­a­ging and trans­porta­ti­on still hap­pens when you buy second hand, at least you buy a pre-owned pie­ce of clothing for which no new pro­duc­ti­on is nee­ded. This makes buying second hand the most sustai­na­ble thing you can do to redu­ce your cli­ma­te impact. The­re are a lot of gre­at ini­ti­a­ti­ves like The Next Clo­set whe­re you can buy ama­zing items for a gre­at pri­ce. Becau­se you never know what you’re going to find, it can be fun as well! Con­si­der it a tre­a­su­re hunt. Let’s get thrifting!
