A fun one today, I recently had a mini style session and interview with Chinti & Parker as part of their Chinti & Friends mini series, which showcase a range of amazing women making things happen in their businesses. The team came to the Depop office to run an interview and take some snaps wearing their new collection. What I love about Chinti is that they pride themselves on creating beautiful garments that will stand the test of time both in terms of aesthetics and quality. Made using sustainable materials and methods, they really create love-forever pieces – no to fast fashion!
Check out the Chinti & Parker post on their website for the full interview, but I’ll leave you with my this extracted quote which perfectly sums up why I do what I do.
“E-commerce really changed the game for shoppers like me but there’s so much more awareness of the impact that fast fashion has on the environment now and I think consumers are looking to become more responsible and make better purchasing decisions. Using an app like Depop helps to connect like-minded people to share their wardrobes and find new clothes, without creating more waste in the world. There’s so much incredible vintage clothing that would otherwise go to landfill and Depop gives these items a new lease of life. I think buying from individuals can be more meaningful when you know you’re also helping someone make money from their side hustle.”
