Sustainable fashion

Thrift culture is slowly gaining popularity in our country, especially among the youth.

Thrifting refers to the practice of purchasing pre-owned gently used products, mainly clothing.

Thrift wear or upcycled products are those that are already used by someone, cleaned, retouched and, if needed, embellished and sold. These clothes are sold at a comparatively lower price than the original ones. Thrifting is more common among the Gen Z as it combines fashion and sustainability. It also does not burn a hole in the pocket.
