In their first EVER episode Rosie and Izzy discuss ‘The dreaded Depop girlies’ charity shop prices going up and the heart-breaking moment your charity shop treasure turns out to be fast fashion.

They ask:

- Is it ethical or sustainable to resell?

- Are the depop girlies saving the planet?

- Are resellers making second hand less accessible and more expensive?

Over the past year, Depop girlies have gained a lot of traction for buying vintage for £2 and reselling it for £100+, or the most recent TikTok scandal surrounding Sabrina Carpenter's birthday dress. Yet with 57% of clothing being sent to landfill Rosie & Izzy question the value of the much slandered Depop girlies.

Grab a cuppa and joinIzzy and Rosie as they sit down with the first guest,Stuart Trevor, founder of the worldwide fashion brand All Saints and now sustainable upcycling name sake Stuart Trevor.

From fast fashion and building an empire to choosing to create a brand that doesn't make anything new, Stuart Trevor shares his personal and professional journey.

They ask Stuart:

Why did you leave All Saints and start Stuart Trevor?

Do you carry any guilt about working in the fashion industry?

A lot of people say sustainable fashion is financially inaccessible. what’s your opinion as someone who runs a luxury sustainable brand?

Stuart Trevor:

Whenever Stuart was asked to start a new fashion brand he replied, “the world doesn't need a new clothing company”. Then he thought to himself - hold it...what about a clothing company that doesn't produce any clothes?

This fell in line with his two main passions: having fun and protecting the planet. It was consistent with his belief that scarcity is the mother of creativity.

*While fact checking this episode, we came across a very interesting article from the BBC discussing ‘enough clothes for next six generations’ that took us by surprise. After doing deeper research, we were unable to find the original source of this fact, although it's mentioned multiple times by a range of media outlets. SO, even we mix things up sometimes, and this is a great moment to show how facts change with time and that proper fact-checking is so important. Moving forward, we won't be using this information.
