Here is a Great resource if you have stained or work clothes that are not suitable for the fashion exchange or charity.

Australian charities throw out 30% of donated clothing. Here's where you can recycle ripped, worn, and stained clothes that aren't good enough for op shops.

You can swap clothes or only $3 a piece for some new (for you) pieces in your wardrobe.
We have lots of fresh things this month.

Pre-loved clothing has moved beyond the op shop and weekend markets.

We had a very interesting evening Friday night. We went to truecostmovie.com put on by council. It is a very saddening and eye opening documentary about the cost of fast fashion on our environment and the people of India, Cambodia and Bangladesh who are working in terrible conditions for very low wages to produce these clothes.
Think before you purchase new or search out ethical, locally made clothing.
