Buy Responsibly - Buy Better
Buying responsibly is becoming increasingly important as the fashion industry becomes more sustainable.
There is an awareness of the environmental and social impacts associated with the production and consumption of new clothing. Second-hand is an effective way to address these issues, by offering quality products, while reducing our ecological footprint.
The textile industry needs a wake-up call.
Even though progress is being made, it is necessary to face the facts that fast fashion and ultra-fashion aka “fast-fashion” continue to dominate the market with serious human and environmental consequences. Billions of garments are produced each year and create mountains of textile waste. Not to mention the often disastrous working conditions and the huge margins of the brands.
Buy responsibly: buy better with Terkay
Buying responsibly at Terkay means asking yourself the right questions: is this purchase really ethical? Does it meet environmental and social criteria? To help our customers make informed choices, we invite them to find out more. Buying second-hand at Terkay is already a responsible approach , but it doesn't stop there! In addition to offering a sustainable alternative, we encourage our customers to turn to sustainable practices.
We offer pre-owned clothing and accessories that have been carefully selected for their quality, so they can have a new life in your wardrobe. By choosing products that already have a story, you reduce your impact on the planet while supporting a circular economy .
Buying less, but better: this is one of the keys to combating overconsumption. At Terkay, we believe that fashion should not be synonymous with constant renewal. Each product you buy from us is a chance to extend the life of a garment, an accessory, and to reduce the demand for new products. Less waste, less overproduction, more sustainable style!
Second-hand, an ideal alternative for sustainable fashion
At Terkay, we believe that second-hand is one of the most powerful solutions to evolve the fashion industry towards a more ethical and ecological model. Buying second-hand extends the life of products while reducing the need for natural resources to produce new items.
Sustainable fashion is not just about buying ethical or eco-friendly products , but also about rethinking our relationship with consumption. And the good news is that Terkay is here to support you in this process!
Sustainable consumption: together we are the change
By making more conscious and responsible choices, you can become an actor of this change. Every purchase at Terkay is a step towards more sustainable and planet-friendly fashion. But for this change to be truly concrete, governments must also get involved. Stricter and fairer laws must be put in place to protect the environment and workers. Fortunately, Europe is moving in the right direction with initiatives like the Green Deal, and we can hope that this will revolutionize the textile industry in the years to come.
At Terkay, we are proud to be part of this movement. And we hope that you will join us in promoting more responsible, ethical and sustainable fashion.
