To raise awareness about the perils of fast fashion, one woman has organised a “shwop”. Waitress Amy Pickles, 21, from Sherwood, also wants to show people the importance of second-hand shopping and how fun it can be. Amy's event 'After Shwop' will be held on Saturday May 21 from noon until 3pm at Mimm Studios 35 Warser Gate, Hockley.
“An important part of why I’m doing this is because I don’t want second hand shopping to just be for people who either have a lot of money or time," said Amy, who studied Fashion Branding and Communications in Birmingham. "Second hand shopping can be expensive or hard if you’re plus size or slimmer, I want to make it accessible to everyone.”
