Oileán Carter Stritch is one half of Change Clothes Crumlin, a sustainable clothing initiative aimed at bridging the gap between fast fashion and charity shopping. Hoping to change the negative connotations that are often associated with second-hand shopping, here she tells us more about their new Dublin hub and what the project is all about.Change Clothes Crumlin is a clothing reuse hub in Dublin.
Everyone is welcome to take part in our events. With the cost of living skyrocketing, and an impending climate crisis hanging over our heads, we need to think of solutions that benefit local communities and the wider world we’re living in. We know modern fashion production is having a catastrophic impact on the environment and the people who are paid slave wages to produce it.
The idea of the Change Clothes Crumli swap shops is to bridge the gap between second-hand shopping and a modern retail experience. Thriftify provides this service online, and does it very well, but we’re hoping to create a welcoming community hub that also serves as a social and learning space. We hope that with this series of events, we can open people’s minds to pre-loved fashion, in a ‘gradual steps’ type of way.
