How second-hand is becoming first choice for fashionistas

Thrift stores, swap meets, pre-loved designer sales, new old favourites. Indian fashion is finally doing right by the Earth. Are you?
There used to be a time when they were called hand-me-downs, when people were too embarrassed to admit they wore them, and when they would give them away secretly. Now they are called pre-loved and are celebrated. People wait for thrift-store pop-ups, raid the shelf for their size, and gleefully browse the other shelves too. They are happy to buy designer lehengas someone wore to one season of weddings, and boho dresses worn exactly once for an influencer’s photo shoot in Greece. They know what sole damage, label-intact and nearly new mean. Some are even setting up thrifting circles among same-sized family and friends.
