Lol, right? I've still got stuff from my first round of college in 2006. I've pretty much spent my life in scrubs. The 3 sets I bought yesterday is the first addition to my closet in something like 3-4 years. But I've been looking for a way to make the jewlery I make more environmentally friendly. I saw a designer who uses fabric samples that are thrown out in her designs and am trying to think of a way to adapt the idea.

I'm surprised they have lasted that long. My clothes usually last about 2 years before I need to throw them away because of the fabric fading and becoming tacky looking or becoming weak. Things like elastane in Jersey cotton starts splitting and sticking out the fabric. I'll repair whatever I can, I have a pill remover that I use to maintain my clothes. The grip on my sneakers starts to wear down after about two years. I have indoor clothes and outdoor clothes. I try and make my clothes and shoes last, but I won't look like a bum or wear shoes that could potentially make me slip (I have no ACL in one knee).

Liked for going up the conveyor belt at 4:17.

Well, now I feel a whole lot better about living in scrubs for the last 6 years and still owning pieces I got while in college. But seriously, when you combine all these documentaries about fast fashion waste, the garbage patch in the Atlantic(?) Ocean, impact of factory farming, etc it paints a very grim picture indeed. How people can deny that human activity is ruining the plants is beyond me.

I love to think about what happened to my second hand clothes especially the vintage ones. It’s lovely to think about how someone had fun in it

A huge chunk of my clothing has always come from thrift stores. My whole life. I was taught to sew at 12. Since I know all that goes into making clothing, I've always thrifted. We were wearing thrift silk satin gowns in jr high school, that was the style. Brian Setzer Stray Cats style.

2:44 Shopping about twice a week? Are you insane? I buy new clothes 2 times per year, if that.

Yep. Such a shame right? If I will not be able to use it over & over for a long period of time, then I would not buy them. That should be the mindset of everybody...

Here I am taking old towels, as well as 20 year old clothes to turn them into something new or doing maintenance to keep them for longer. 🤗🥰 Much love and good fortune towards those doing the same.

Brilliant! I will share this out with my young Fashion Students! Thank you

thank you! great video.

It would interest you to know that a large number of these used clothes are shipped to West Africa where they are sold at ridiculous prices. This is unethical, as the majority of these clothes are ruined and can only be won once or twice.

I just came from a documentary that talked about that. Mitumba(sp?) is what they call it, at least in Kenya. They talked about routinely only Being able to sell 1/2 (or more) of a $23,000 bale. So they can't make the profit they need to survive.

Vintage clothing is much higher quality.

That dress that company made out of new fabric + the repurposed lace top was so poorly made, it was worse than fast fashion. I doubt it will ever get worn even once outside this video.

Great video!

I have always been a huge thrift shop buyer, for myself, NOT for resale. I watched a video last night about Britain's donated clothes going to Africa. At the end of each market day a huge amount of clothing went to the dump. I'm not sure why the dump ?? Although it is fabric made into clothing it is still fabric. A person could use that fabric for something else. The bottom line is that they don't want ANYBODY to get something for free.

This is why I NEVER watch “clothing haul videos” of KZreadrs.

@M. Hall I'd really like to learn how to sew. My cousin is a cosplayer and makes all of her costumes. She made her own wedding dress and a friend (who sews for a living) made our bride's maids dresses from a design she drew. Both were absolutely beautiful. And I saw the kimonos the seamstress had made for a production of "The Mikado" and those were drop dead gorgeous. I don't really wear "street" clothing all that often because school and work require scrubs. But I'd like to make my own so I can control the fabric, fit, etc.

There needs to be an overall balance. It's not about our opinions and preferences here, it is about regulating an industry that is unsustainable and harmful to our society. We can't just think about it as an individual choice, it is collective responsibility and when a behaviour is detrimental, it needs to be corrected and regulated just like anything else. No one can stop you looking good but what we can do as a society is change the way the industry works and this will reflect on changes in consumers behaviours too. Freedom means you can make a choice and with that choice comes responsibility - always and there are always boundaries. When you waste resources that are scarce that should not be the price of looking good. You can still look good while being efficient and using fewer resources. I would call it optimization and it is necessary for every aspect of our lives.

If you buy fabric, where does that cotton or rayon come from?

Even when you source from an unethical source it is still more sustainable for tailors in fast fashion work in such a pace they make a lot of mistakes so much that often sewing and stiches aren't even. And think of all those people who do logistics. Amazon treats its workers horibly they work in cages.

Thankyou, I never thought of it this way. I only knew fashion had an impact on the environment....you really opened my eyes to the even uglier truth, how can there be forced an exploitative labour like this still!!

A very Good video!

This is a great video! We need to spread awareness and act to save our planet #Livetree #Fairweb #GreenFashion #EthicalFashion

As a newer seamstress, I can’t bear buying anything to support slave labor, or chemical pollution. I’ve learned so much in the last few years about this.

That's awesome. Do you do requests?

At 7:30 you say "the fashion industry is joining forces with designers and scientists to clean up their act". Untrue: they do almost absolutely nothing, the little that they do is merely cosmetic: different makeup on the same lips. Greenwashing. Let's swap and support the second hand trade (basically charity shops) and, above all, let's treasure what we already have (a lot of women suffered to make it). Support fair trade!!! Boycott fast-fashion!!! In fact, boycott fashion!!! Javi Caballero (Spain)

Kinda, it is a swastica, a symbol of fortune i believe, that was known for thousands of years before Hitler picked it up and ruined it for everyone. Before WW2 there was even a canadian hockey team called "The Swasticas". It is still widely used but mostly in the east. Hope i helped :)

It has original religious origins before it was used in the war- which is tilted in a different direction . For example it is the manji symbol in Japan which represents peace and prosperity, it is still used today in their temples. I imagine that the shirt shown in this video is representative of their culture.
