Vintage Clothing in the 10's

Swapping clothes is a new trend that is helping to mitigate the waste the fashion industry is responsible for creating. With clothing becoming a throw away commodity across more and more western and developing countries, the waste produced is becoming increasingly draining on the Worlds resources.

With the population growing faster than ever our habits our going to have to change. Cotton is one of the most water demanding crops and is something that, moving forwad, will not be able to be wasted on throw away clothing.

Swapping websites such as CovertCandy and WhatsMineIsYours are a way to make the best of the clothing that has already been produced rather than waste money and valuable resources on new stuff.

Buying vintage clothes is another way to save resources. Often vintage clothes are massively over priced, but various sites have online shops that are selling vintage clothing at very reasonable prices.

Vintage clothes and swapping sites are just two ways we can save the environment when acquiring new clothes. Other things like always buying organic and fair trade are important things to remember as well.

Most people have negative ideas of swapping sites because back when they were first created many sites had poor functionality compared to platforms such as Ebay. Now however swapping sites have all the bells and whistles you would expect from growing communities. Great feedback and internal messaging, as well as clear functionailty and support systems that help users with any problems they may encounter.

A quick search for vintage clothing and swapping sites brings up many articles comparing the various sites available. I recommend you sign up to a few and get a feel for which websites have the best choice and functionality. It may also be worth checking out the profiles of other users to ensure they are similar to you. Some websites have older audiences than others and it is important to find the one that suits you best.

Vintage and retro sites are best found through specific product searches rather than broad searches which often bring old sites with very generic and dated approaches to vintage.
