Embracing Sustainable Fashion: A Mindset Shift

“When you hear the term ‘sustainable fashion,’ what comes to mind?”

As the concept of sustainable fashion gains traction globally, it is essential to navigate through the layers of meaning it holds. It is more than just a trend; it is a movement towards responsible and mindful consumption. At Retykle, we believe buying good quality clothing and then keeping it circulated is the best course for lightening its environmental impact.

In a recent documentary titled 'The State of Sustainable Fashion in Singapore,' presented by Zerrin, we witnessed Singapore's fashion industry taking strides towards a more sustainable future. The documentary paints a vivid portrait of how Singapore's fashion industry is embracing change and leading the charge towards a more sustainable future.

Susannah Jaffer, founder of Zerrin, also shares her personal sentiment on what sustainable fashion means to her and highlights the pivotal role played by platforms like Retykle in promoting sustainable fashion.

“... To me, sustainable fashion is a mindset shift towards changing your relationship with clothing consumption in general.”

“... From swapping to renting, buying secondhand, which platforms like Retykle represent, to supporting brands that upcycle, use better materials, and ethical practices. But at the root of it all, a more sustainable relationship with fashion really starts with your beliefs and values.” 

“... For kids clothing, choosing secondhand is an incredible choice because they grow out of it so quickly and therefore there's so much like new condition clothing in circulation. Platforms like Retykle make that easy for you to do.”

Sustainable fashion is indeed a transformative mindset that transcends mere consumption. It's about making conscious choices, including embracing secondhand options, which platforms like Retykle facilitates, and supporting brands with ethical practices. This shift doesn't just affect our clothes. It also changes how we think about what we buy and how it impacts the environment. It's a step towards a greener future.

At Retykle, as the largest online resale platform for kids in Asia, we want to make life easier for parents, not only on their wallets but on their ability to make positive change to their community and the environment.

Through our platform, we are creating a longer lifespan for children’s products and want to ultimately create a fully circular solution that eliminates waste associated with kids all together. Join the cycle - start selling here or find your next sustainable treasure here.
