Wear the clothes you love for longer, you don’t always need something new!
Before you buy, have a look in your wardrobe because sometimes we forget about the things we already own and love.
Repair and upcycling are also great ways to get some more wear out of clothes we already own.
Daunting as it may seem, with a little help you can give this a try – sewing classes are available across Ireland and online and many of these are aimed at making minor repairs to keep the items you love in use for longer. You can also find a directory of repair services on the Repair My Stuff website.
Vintage, thrifting and buying pre-loved are really on trend right now. Check out your local charity shops, vintage stores, or online to find something unique, or even get your hands on a piece that you missed out on recently.
