in my last blog, i mentioned H&M's organic collection and expressed my advocacy for this clothing line. sustainable fashion is an avid trend because it make consumers correspond personal satisfaction with social responsibility. just as i was struggling to balance myself between peter singer's lecture at my college and my addiction to SATC, i came across Etsy, a social website that functions like eBay, except for that it only sells vintage goods and original, hand-made products.
what makes Etsy sustainable and eco-friendly:
for vintage goods:
- recycle and reuse: instead of investing your money in a brand new thing, you buy it from someone who needs it no more
- affordability: some vintage is still expensive, but it surely still costs much less than the original price
- look: what's more elegant than a taste of vintage in your wardrobe. a lot of renowned fashionistas have smart vintage styling, which makes them sophisticated, classy AND outstanding
for hand-made products:
- reduce: because hand-made products are often made-to-order, there is no unwanted stuff to throw away
- price: most products are at reasonable prices, equivalent to their quality
- uniqueness: either the product is one-of-a-kind, or you can tailor it to match your style
