How Reluv Is Transforming The Way We Shop

An obsession with shopping is a prerequisite for most girls in their teenage years – and it’s this obsession that inspired Karen Freidin, the founder of Reluv. When Karen’s two daughters entered their teenage years, shopping became an essential part of their lives, prompting her to question the ethics and sustainability of the fashion industry. The

Not another misleading fashion report! The Baptist

Not another misleading fashion report! The Baptist World Aid Australia report has just dropped and is once again confusing consumers by awarding As to brands such as Zara and H&M and Bs to ethical fashion houses such as Cotton On and ASOS. Hang on? Yep. You don’t have to do much to get a good score in this report (in fact - 50% and above is an “A”). The A-F scoring system is way too simplified to capture the various efforts brands need to make to help make the fashion industry fairer to workers and better for the environment. Only 4% of the brands in the report are paying a living wage to their staff throughout the supply chain, and a lot of brands on the A list are increasing their production/output year-on-year (and in turn their carbon footprint). We need more comms about ethical fashion but we don’t need more confusion. If you’re going to have a look at this one, please take the time to download the full report from the website, rather than just using the A-F scoring system. There’s some fantastic info in the report findings, but it’s really not captured in the grading system which is what is promoted widely.

There’s no silver bullet that will solve all of

There’s no silver bullet that will solve all of the problems with the fashion industry, but secondhand clothing is definitely part of the multifaceted approach that’s required. @reluv_clothing is one of Australia’s largest online retailers of secondhand clothing and accessories, with a goal of keeping clothes in circulation longer and out of landfill, while driving a change in consumer choices. “Sustainable production, a trend towards slow fashion brands producing better quality clothing, clothing rental, resale and textile recycling will all need to be part of a new way forward for fashion,” founder Karen Freidin says. “Resale increases the utilisation rate of garments and drives down production of new items. With every secondhand garment purchased, one new garment is not produced.” Read more about Karen’s shop and the journey that brought her to Reluv on #BrittsList, link in bio. #partnercontent #sustainablefashion #secondhand

Today’s group on the @brisbanefashionmonth x #BrittsList sustainable fashion walking tour 🙌. So great to see so many fresh faces on the tour and a couple of return attendees from last year’s BFM tour in the city. This year’s BFM tour was in the valley - proving you can shop #sustainablefashion in nearly every inner city suburb in Brisbane! (I’ve now done the city, West End, Paddington and FV). Where should the next tour be?
