Meet Leonie, the woman behind her self-titled vintage store in Kiel, Germany, who also happens to be our partner store on Parampara. We asked her about her thoughts on overconsumption in fashion and the reason why she decided to open up a store of her own. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
«In the many years I have spent thrifting, I am alarmed at how many good pieces of clothing from fast fashion brands are landing on the racks in recent years, which means that A) people are just throwing out and consuming faster, and B) all of these items have not nearly lived their timespan. The environmental and societal impact of our addiction to fashion is severe and through the Leonie Store, I hope to contribute towards a more positive, cooler image for vintage, secondhand and preloved shopping.» - Leonie von Hase ⠀
