Vintage Factory is a fashion store that sells a variety of high-quality vintage clothing, shoes, and accessories. They define their clothes not as second-hand, but rather as used or unused. The items they sell are often decades old. They also clean and repair used clothing in the store.
Why sustainable?
Vintage Factory is a sustainable initiative due to the fact that all their clothing is repurposed, meaning no new clothing is made. By purchasing items that already exist, less finite resources are needed for production. Thrifting at this store, therefore, prevents existing clothes from accumulating in landfills.
Responsible consumption and production: Buying Vintage Factory's used clothing minimizes the use of natural resources and toxic materials since preexisting clothes are repurposed.
Climate Action: Buying Vintage Factory's used clothes reduces pollution, as there is no new production of synthetic fabrics.
