Ep 6. Festive frocks cost more than you think

What are you wearing this holiday season? As our social media gets flooded with Christmas jumpers and glittery tops, it’s time to talk about the true cost of the seasonal clothes we buy. If we’re getting a bargain, who is picking up the bill? And what are the pros and cons of recycling and resale, renting and reinventing. https://wrap.org.uk/resources/report/valuing-our-clothes-cost-uk-fashion https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/abfac3/pdf https://www.oxfam.org.uk/get-involved/second-hand-september/ https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/2021/jul/06/renting-clothes-is-less-green-than-throwing-them-away https://rememberwhomadethem.com/ https://theuniformproject.com/ and https://vimeo.com/11113046 https://thrift.plus/ https://good-beans.com/articles/nothing-new-christmas-gift-guide/ https://medium.com/@thisbecause/blinded-by-bargains-what-stuff-really-costs-e2bdc3fa268d https://birdsong.london/
