In their first EVER episode Rosie and Izzy discuss âThe dreaded Depop girliesâ charity shop prices going up and the heart-breaking moment your charity shop treasure turns out to be fast fashion.
They ask:
- Is it ethical or sustainable to resell?
- Are the depop girlies saving the planet?
- Are resellers making second hand less accessible and more expensive?
Over the past year, Depop girlies have gained a lot of traction for buying vintage for ÂŁ2 and reselling it for ÂŁ100+, or the most recent TikTok scandal surrounding Sabrina Carpenter's birthday dress. Yet with 57% of clothing being sent to landfill Rosie & Izzy question the value of the much slandered Depop girlies.
Ps- listen out for some guest appearances from Bunsen the podcast kitty cat!!
