Black Friday has over the years been an opportunity for consumers to purchase at a discount, especially designer items that are discounted. Once a retail shopping experience in the USA is now an international phenomenon. While it’s a borrowed shopping culture in the UK, we have adopted it firmly, and both online consumers and retailers can’t get enough of it – myself included.
Like many others, I started looking at Christmas presents for my kids early, hoping to get some discounts this Black Friday, but buying secondhand clothing didn’t come naturally to me. I had to dig a bit to discover secondhand resellers alongside a growing movement of parents being a bit more sustainable in their purchases, saving money and even making a few extra quid on the side.
The primary and most obvious benefit of buying second-hand kids’ clothes is that doing so saves you money. It’s not just money you are saving when you shop secondhand for your little ones – you’re also doing your bit for the planet. And once your kids have grown out of the garment, you can sell it on again to keep the sustainable cycle going – and make a little extra cash!
If you are still looking to join this growing movement, there are resale platforms like Fillip Shop Live that enables parents to list items and or discover great kids’ secondhand clothing at a great Black Friday discount.
But for now, I made a list of kids’ secondhand clothing retailers you can get a good Black Friday bargain;
If you must buy new, then buy from eco-friendly brands making products which are both kind to the planet and don’t irritate children’s skin. Some of these brands encourage re-use and they build products from materials that are less harmful to our planet, sustainable and environmentally conscious.
Buying children’s clothing requires the same amount of eco-friendly and sustainable consideration as when purchasing yours. Join the growing movement of parent resellers saving money, doing their bit for the planet and making a bit on the side too on secondhand marketplace platforms like Fillip Shop Live.
