What do labour rights have to do with secondhand fashion? It turns out, a lot. In today’s episode, we talk to Emily Stochl, host of the Pre-Loved Podcast on labour rights activism and how it informs the secondhand market and our secondhand shopping consumption habits. One of our favourite takeaways from this episode is Emily’s encouragement to see ourselves as citizens rather than just consumers to advocate for systemic change. We discuss topics like a living wage, unlearning our traditional views about sustainable fashion, and vintage resellers.
