Why Used Fashion Makes Sense

If you buy second-hand, you extend the lifespan of garments and reduce textile waste. For every reused piece, no new one has to be produced, which saves water, energy and raw materials. Then there is the price: used clothing is often considerably cheaper, and pieces from earlier decades are frequently solidly made.

What to Look Out for When Buying

A quick check before the till saves disappointment at home:

  • Check the material and care instructions: natural fibres such as wool, silk and cotton often last longer

  • Look out for hidden damage, for example holes, stains or stretched cuffs

  • Test zips and buttons

  • Try things on: size markings on older pieces differ from today's

  • Ask about alteration options

Tips for Bargain Hunting

Experienced second-hand fans take their time. The best finds are often not visible at first glance but lie among inconspicuous pieces.

  • Drop by regularly, as the stock changes

  • Plan a morning or an afternoon and go through the rails at your leisure

  • It is usually quieter during the week than at weekends

  • A visit is also worthwhile at the change of season

Combining Vintage With Modern Pieces

Vintage items combine well with modern basics. The key is the mix: one eye-catching older piece, the rest understated. A vintage blouse goes with current jeans, an older jacket over a modern dress, and classic shoes give a modern look character.

Care and Preservation

To make your finds last a long time, wash them gently and follow the care instructions. Delicate materials belong at the professional dry cleaner's. Store clothing on padded hangers and protect it from moths and damp.
