    I do not buy 2nd hand fashion ... yet ...

    However, I repair my clothes or get them fixed whenever possible. I try not to buy from fast fashion providers but it is not so easy as thought ...

    I only buy expensive stuff and make it last for an eternity. Never tried to buy 2nd hand 😬

    Meaning buying cheap and eventually be forced to trashing the items is terrible for achieving a circular economy. Expensive stuff can be resold or repaired and keeps a certain value

    There are many second hand stores in Zurich! And if not, a lot are considered as eco friendly 😉

    Second hand is best, especially when the shop lets you buy in bulk weight of fabric - there's a few thrift stores in Lisbon I highly recommend!

    Yes, I actually purchase a lot of 2nd hand fashion and I am very supportive of circulating clothes. The fashion industry is not sustainable at all.

    My friends always made fun of me because I had the same cloth since college. But now, I am very proud of keeping them for a while, this is better for our planet :)

    I almost never buy second hand, but I stopped buying cheap clothes that are probably produced under bad circumstances.

    I also donate a lot of clothes I do not use anymore.

    1. I buy about 90% of my clothes in second hand shops, since 2 years.
    2. Yes, slowly but steadily for 4 years

    Unfortunately not much options for men available if you don't take your time to search for a longer time. Always looking but nothing bought yet.

    1. I do buy and sell what I can, I draw the line with underwear though
    2. In some ways yes, however, if I really need something, you can't be sure to find it and I might end up in a fashion store quickly

    I've especially bought 2nd hand fashion for my son. Only seldomly for myself. I try to buy long-lasting products and keep them for as long as possible.

    No, I have never bought 2nd fashion, but I prefer to use my clothes or accessories for a really long period.

    2nd clothes are in every sense sustainable and supports creativity and local stores

    Yes! and it's important to follow the 3r → re-use, recycle, repair

    I purchase almost exclusevely second hand, but I also donate and accept gifts. I follow some speficic groups on fb where one can meet other givers and expand his/her circular community.
