Buying pre-owned items improves the sustainability of a garment. Research shows extending the average life of clothes (2.2 years) by just three months of using an item actively would lead to a 5-10% reduction in each of the carbon, water and waste footprints

Filippa K publishes their Fair Wear Foundation performance checks on their website, which examines how company management systems support FWF’s Code of Labour Practices. They evaluate the parts of company supply chains where clothing is assembled. This is the most labour intensive part of garment supply chains, and where brands can have the most influence over working conditions. By being part of FairWearFoundation they are committed to safe and healthy working conditions

Since this item is preowned, the entire garment is made from waste that would otherwise be discarded, giving it a new life. Buying preowned helps to keep garments in the loop for longer creating a more circular fashion system
