In an industry rife with sustainability issues, a circular model would prove advantageous. A circular fashion model “asks the industry to close the loop on production, including responsible manufacturing, use and end-of-life for every garment” according to Good On You. This means that garments are designed with longevity, sustainability, and recyclability in mind. These considerations make it such that the fashion industry can reduce waste. According to the World Economic Forum, clothing production continues to rise while actual use before throwing an item out is shrinking. This lack of balance between the two can be in part attributed to the continued popularity of fast fashion and single-wear culture. #togetherwerise #workforcedevelopment #NY2023 #shoprepurpose #vintage #designerresale #luxuryresale #shopsustainably #sustainability #shopsecondhand #secondhand #secondhandshop #prelovedfashion #slowfashion #ecofashion #nyc #nycfashion

According to Carolyn Mair, PhD, founder of the psychology of fashion department at the London College of Fashion at the University of the Arts London, feeling comfortable in what you are wearing decreases stress. This decrease in stress frees up more space for us to focus on the tasks important to us. But, how do you find your personal style? Let’s turn to expert stylists Sam Giordano, a former mentee of Jessie’s, and Jessie Freschl for advice and learn from their experiences. #togetherwerise #workforcedevelopment #NY2023 #shoprepurpose #vintage #designerresale #luxuryresale #shopsustainably #sustainability #shopsecondhand #secondhand #secondhandshop #prelovedfashion #slowfashion #ecofashion #nyc #nycfashion

August 26 marks the anniversary of the day women were given the right to vote. That being said, “[a]s late as 1962, some states still prevented women of color from voting on contrived grounds” and further legislation was finally passed in the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to protect Black women’s right to vote. In honor of all the women from many backgrounds who fought for the right to vote and those who continue to fight for equality, join us in exploring Suffragist fashion and women’s empowerment in the fashion industry today. ⁠#shoprepurpose #vintage #designerresale #luxuryresale #shopsustainably #sustainability #shopsecondhand #vintagefashion #secondhandshop #prelovedfashion #ecofashion #nyc #nycfashion

After listening to our customers' frustrations with the time-consuming consignment process, one of our marketing trainees developed our "Donate and Deduct" campaign. Isa conducted an in-depth analysis of our offerings and compared them to competitors, revealing that donors can receive up to 5x more value by choosing Repurpose over consignment. Here’s how it works: donate, receive an itemized receipt, evaluate the fair market value, and deduct it from your taxable income. Skip the hassle of selling and maximize your wardrobe’s value with us. * Refer to your accountant for information on how you can deduct your clothing donations.⁠

As the fashion industry needs continued change and effort to decrease the environmental impact, the future workforce is extremely important. That being said, applying to jobs is difficult, time consuming, and, at times, demoralizing. But, there is hope. Working with a mentor can improve your career and “lead to new career opportunities, a promotion, even a better work-life balance”. These opportunities stem from a conscious effort to stay on track with goals and receive valuable feedback from an experienced member of one’s target industry. After securing a job, mentorship remains important and can improve job satisfaction, making it desirable for the mentee and the mentor. This support uplifts mentees which can increase their commitment to their work and their industry. Mentorship also fosters skill development and collaboration as it asks mentors to regularly give feedback and mentees to implement that feedback for learning. ⁠#shoprepurpose #vintage #designerresale #luxuryresale #shopsustainably #sustainability #shopsecondhand #vintagefashion #secondhandshop #prelovedfashion #ecofashion #nyc #nycfashion
