We have a large selection of high-end jeans you can buy without using any more resources.

Lower carbon footprint
Shopping for secondhand furniture, home decor, and fashion significantly reduces carbon emissions. If every customer this year purchased one piece of secondhand clothing instead of a new item, it would lower CO2 emissions by 2 billion pounds—the equivalent of taking 76 million cars off the road for a day. For example, buying a pair of secondhand jeans saves an average of 33 kg of CO2, the same amount produced by an average car driving 70 miles.

Lessen textiles in landfills
Each year, 11.3 million tons of clothing end up in landfills, with over 3 million tons incinerated, releasing harmful gasses. The remaining clothing decomposes, producing methane and leaking dyes and chemicals into the environment. By purchasing second hand garments, you prevent them from ending up in landfills, giving them a new life.
