This skirt is another 3.50 euro bargain. It is difficult to find good value vintage pieces in Berlin.
I bought this at HUMANA, but have recently discovered that HUMANA is a bit of a sham organisation. When buying a Humana piece of clothing the profits do not go the struggling communities. Rather the communities receive all of the left over clothes that Humana doesn't want, which is a problem in itself. These companies just dump their unwanted waste. It gets more and more difficult to try and do the right thing.
Don't you think?
Love that first photo! Great look, loving your skirt and the edgy form you've styled it in! :)
ReplyDeleteTake care, Daniella xox
Thanks! I love this skirt too! It was a good find:)
DeleteYes, yes it does. We can think we're being eco friendly by buying old clothes, and then also wonder if we aren't taking some else's only chance at having decent clothes.
ReplyDeleteTrue! It all gets a bit confusing.
DeleteGreat skirt, sad story. I'm really disappointed to hear that about Humana. The whole 'clothes dumping' thing is covered in Lucy Seigle's book To Die For, which is a great read if you're interested in the ethics (or lack of ethics) in the fashion industry. It is definitely getting harder to be an ethical shopper.
ReplyDeleteCool! Thanks for the tip. I will look into it.
DeleteLovely skirt, but really awful that Humana are just dumping the left over clothing - it's not the charity you expect is it?

definitely a sad story:( Thanks for your feedback!
DeleteWow that's awful, totally unlike the op shops we have in Perth. I hate to think where the funds ARE going...
