We could all
use a new hobby or interest nowadays—something that can pick our spirits up
when times are difficult. If you’ve never been to a thrift shop before, or if
you’ve never done any serious thrifting, you’re missing out on a ton of fun.
What is it about thrift shops that make them so alluring to so many people? In
my exclusive write-up, I’ll tell you exactly why I enjoyed thrifting so much with
Swap Fashions.
The
Thrill of the Hunt
We’ve all
heard the saying that the journey is always better than the destination or that
the anticipation of something is often better than the thing itself. Swap
Fashions is full to bursting with that sense of anticipation. As you run down
different brands and designs on their website, you never know what you’ll be
able to find. Their collections are always rotating and inclusive of the best
brands and designs in the market.
The
Satisfaction of a Good Deal
Is there any
feeling quite like knowing you just got something fantastic for the lowest
price possible? That’s what thrift shopping is all about. Getting a great deal
(whether you need the item or not) is one of the best parts of thrifting. You
won’t find better deals on great finds than inside Swap
Fashions. If you’re
looking to get the most for your money, you owe it to yourself to go straight
to Swap Fashions.
The
Effective De-Clutter and Upcycling
Having small
houses is a problem in cities like Mumbai but having less space for storage is
indeed a global issue. This is mainly because we all tend to fill our houses
with clothes without understanding the real purpose and need. Swap
Fashions enables us to think and swap our unused/barely used clothes in an excellent
collection with clothes that match our current requirements. Recycling,
reusing, and sustainability are the need of the hour, and we should all take a
pause and think before we shop for anything new and add to our closet.
Swapping
is Rewarding
Swap Fashions has made swapping extremely
convenient and fulfilling. Platforms like Swap
Fashions help our community in both passive and active ways. Swapping is a
fantastic way to ensure our unwanted clothes reach people who actually desire
them while getting something for ourselves in the process. Mind you Swap Fashions
does not charge for any swapping transaction. To swap your unused/barely used
clothes you just order a Swap Kit for Rs. 299 from their website (www.swapfashions.com) or even better,
just courier them your clothes. The
lockdown has definitely made us master the art of couriering.
Basis their
swapping checklist & algorithms you would be rewarded points in exchange
for your clothes, which you redeem for your dream outfits on their website!
The Good
for the Environment and Community
Thrifting is
a very useful way to reuse and recycle unwanted clothing that would otherwise
end up in a landfill. Clothing is surprisingly durable, and most don’t break
down quickly or easily on the earth, meaning that it can harm the soil and
contribute to environmental degradation. The Fashion industry is the 2nd
largest pollutant in the world. By swapping/ donating your branded western wear
clothes to Swap Fashions instead of throwing them out, you prevent excessive
waste from ruining your community’s environment. We all need to do our part for
the environment—for both our local and global communities—if we’d like to
combat the effects of climate change.
Vision at Swap Fashions - Keeps People Connected
Thrifting
isn’t just a way to get nice and affordable clothing. Thrifting is a way of
life! It has a community of its own that is willing and waiting to welcome new members
all the time. They like to foster their own community always trying to extend
their customer base.
The
whole thing about clothes is insane. You can spend a dollar on a jacket in a
thrift store. And you can spend a thousand dollars on a jacket in a fast
fashion store. And if you saw those two jackets walking down the street, you
probably wouldn't know which was which.
