提倡环境永续 H&M 伦敦店贩卖二手衣｜2024年3月号

Warm-up question: What do you do with your old clothes when you don’t want them?

H&M started selling secondhand clothes in its London store in October 2023. Fast fashion brands like H&M make cheap clothes and often lead to more waste. H&M is working on changing this by giving people a greener choice. This marks a big change from the common fast fashion ways of selling.

Flamingos Vintage Kilo, a secondhand clothes brand,is working with H&M. Together, they’re bringing secondhand items to the store. People can give away their old clothes to the store, too. H&M also has websites for secondhand clothes in Germany and Sweden. These show H&M’s efforts to help the planet through fashion.

读之前想想看：你会怎么处理不再需要的旧衣物？

2023 年 10 月，H&M 在伦敦店面开始贩卖二手衣物。像 H&M 这样的快时尚品牌通常生产价格便宜的服饰，而这往往造成更多浪费。H&M 藉由提供消费者更环保的选择，着手改变这样的情况。这意味着从一般快时尚销售模式跳脱的重大转变。

二手服饰品牌 Flamingos Vintage Kilo 正与 H&M 合作，它们一起将二手单品引进门市。人们也可以将自己的旧衣物捐赠给这间商店。此外，H&M 在德国和瑞典亦设有贩卖二手衣物的网站。这些行动展现了 H&M 透过时尚为地球所尽的努力。
