064: How to Shop Secondhand the 21st Century Way

These days, it's easier than ever to shop secondhand. Add to your wardrobe the eco-friendly way with these tips + tricks.


Let me guess: You like the *idea* of thrifting as a means of preserving both your hard-earned money + the planet.

But in practice, things get muddled. Who has the time, energy or desire to sift through mounds of less-than-ideal garments in search of a genuine find?

Here’s the good news: These days, it’s easier than ever to shop secondhand.

My guest this week is Lauren Spraggins. She’s a fashion reseller who searches for, cleans, mends + presses secondhand items. Thanks to fashion resellers like Lauren, resurrecting once-loved garments is now accessible to the average time-crunched consumer.

Learn tricks of the reselling trade + how, exactly, you can benefit in this week’s episode.

Enjoy!
