🌞 Finally: Summer vacations are here! And no matter where you are headed, Miami, the Croisette or Positano, you probably have the impulse to stock up on new clothes for those days at the beach and summer nights in a dreamy restaurant. Impulse buying tends to spike during the summer months, accelerating the consumption of low-quality, non-durable, and seasonal items from fast fashion. Ironically, those items that we show off at the pristine beach of our choice, have a good chance to end up on the beaches of Ghana or other countries as fashion waste. Did you know? 🌍 92 million tons of textile waste could cover a typical beach hundreds of times over! ✈️ 56% of impulsive buyers regret their purchase, growing tired of seasonal and ephemeral pieces. 🌊 14 million tons of microplastics contaminate our oceans, projected to reach 22 million tons by 2050. Let's make a difference this summer. Think First Buy second and choose sustainable, pre-loved options. Enjoy your summer vacation knowing you're contributing positively to the planet. hashtag #VestiaireCollective #ThinkFirstBuySecond #Circularity #Fashion #Impact #Summer2024
