When it comes to clothing, the word “used” may be off-putting to some; however there are many benefits to shopping resale.
One benefit to shopping at Retro Exchange is the prices. Shopping at thrift stores allows customers to buy brand name clothing at a cheaper cost than in department stores. Also, resale shopping allows customers to find unique or vintage pieces that couldn't be found anywhere else. Retro Exchange has a wide variety of apparel that appeals to all different kinds of styles.
“Being a typical college student, I’m all about saving the little money I have,” said Texas State University student Jordan Davis.
Not only can money be saved by shopping at Retro Exchange, but customers can make money as well. Customers can sell any previously used clothing in good condition to the store and will receive money for the clothing accepted.
What could arguably be the greatest positive of shopping resale is the environmental impact. Fashion leaves a pollution footprint with every step in the making of the clothing process generates potential environmental issues.
The demand for man-made fibers like cotton and polyester, have nearly doubled in the last 15 years according to the figures of the Technical Textile Markets. Many textile manufacturing facilities have been proven to be hazardous waste generators.
Manufacturing polyester, the most widely used fabric, is a process that requires intense energy, large amounts of crude oil and releases emissions such as volatile organic compounds, particle matter and acid gases, all which can contribute to respiratory disease.
Reuse, Reduce, Recycle. By selling to and/or buying from Retro Exchange, zero waste is created. The reuse of the clothing is keeping it out of landfills. Packaging of brand new clothing such as the plastic, tissue and tags end up in landfills too; shopping at Retro Exchange cuts back on that waste.
Shopping at Retro Exchange allows customers to find great clothing at low costs and help save the environment at the same time.
