TOMS

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

Toms is B Corp certified , meaning they’re legally permitted to consider the impact of their decisions on their workers, customers, suppliers, community, and the environment. They are also a proud member of the Fair Labor Association, which holds its members to a higher level of workforce accountability. Plus, they engage third-party auditors, such as Elevate, to make sure the factories are meeting their CSR requirements

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
