Why Second Hand September Matters: The Power of Circular Fashion

Second Hand September is more than just a campaign - it’s a movement that encourages us to embrace the power of circular fashion and the beauty of second-hand style. This initiative serves as a crucial reminder of the significant role each of us can play by making thoughtful, sustainable choices.

The Impact of Extending the Life of Clothing

Did you know that simply wearing a piece of clothing for an additional nine months can reduce its carbon footprint by up to 30%? This small yet impactful action highlights the importance of extending the life cycle of our garments. By choosing to re-wear, repurpose, or buy second-hand, we contribute to a more sustainable future, reducing the demand for new clothing and minimising waste.

The QT's Commitment to Circular Fashion

At The QT, our commitment to circularity and sustainability is in our DNA. Our designs are crafted with longevity in mind, ensuring that each piece can be handed down, reused, or recycled. We believe that fashion should not only look good but also do good - for the people who make it, those who wear it, and the planet. By investing in high-quality, durable clothing, you’re helping to reduce waste and support a circular economy.

How You Can Participate

Before you consider buying new, take a moment to explore pre-loved clothing. By choosing pre-loved, you’re not only making an eco-friendly choice but also helping to support a circular economy and promote sustainable fashion.

Join Us in Celebrating Second Hand September

This September, we invite you to join us in celebrating the power of second-hand fashion. Together, we can make a difference - one garment at a time. Let’s work together to create a future where fashion is not only about looking good but also about doing good.
