Zara Canfield, 30, works as a volunteer marketing manager at Oxfam and has been buying only secondhand clothing since 2019. Here, she explains why she loves preloved...
Back in my early twenties, I was the definition of a fast fashion addict. We all know how the story goes - you buy one thing online and you're hounded with discount codes enticing you to buy more. I fell straight into the trap, getting something new for every event in my calendar.
A change in career inspired me to do things differently. I was working for a children's charity, but by 2017 I felt ready for a new challenge and took a job at Oxfam.
Two years into working for the organisation, I was managing the campaigning team for festivals and launched Second Hand September, asking people to re-wear and recycle their clothes for 30 days.
