Get ready to love the pre-loved, with stunning collections of second-hand and circular fashion at Selfridges Birmingham.

Second-hand and sustainable are the latest buzzwords of fashion; the industry is one of the most polluting in the world, with a significant impact on the environment. The production of clothing and accessories requires large amounts of water, energy and chemicals, leading to water pollution, greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental issues.

Step forward Selfridges, which is doing its bit for sustainability … something we welcome with open arms. After all, by buying second-hand we not only reduce the environmental impact but also encourage more diverse and creative fashion choices

The aim of  Re-Selfridges ‘Worn Again’ is that by 2030 an impressive 45% of store’s transactions will come from circular products and services. The eco-friendly campaign is dedicated to ideas, collaborations and events that explore different ways to keep second-hand in circulation for longer.
