Thrift-shopping, is an increasingly popular term in the last few years, which means buying pre-owned and vintage clothes. The need for sustainable fashion is a fact, since it is not just beneficial for the environment, but it actually gives us the chance to own statement pieces by famous brands, from past collections or haute couture clothing from past decades, all, in really affordable prices.
“Sustainable” or “ethical fashion”, are the terms that describe the whole process of fashion design, from production to purchase, that aim at fair working conditions, sustainable production, zero environmental impact and animal welfare. A great part of sustainable fashion, is thrift shopping.
Although Greece is not one of the first countries to explore this new chapter in fashion, we gladly notice that vintage & thrift shops become increasingly popular, especially in the cities of Athens and Thessaloniki. If you are used to buying clothes only from franchise, fast fashion brands, maybe it is time you explored thrift shops. Most of their pieces are unique, so it is almost impossible to see another woman rocking the same look as you, at the street.
