Waste Crisis
32 billion garments are produced for the US market each year and 64% of them end up in landfill. Throwaway fashion culture is depleting natural resources and overfilling landfills. The single best thing we can do is consume less and reuse more.*
Choose Used
To Combat Textile WasteIntroducing #chooseused, a limited edition collection and social movement designed to celebrate secondhand as a solution to the harmful effects of textile waste. Speak up for the planet and proudly wear your support to inspire a more sustainable fashion future.


More people wearing secondhand means less waste
If everyone in the US bought just one item used instead of new in 2019, it would save nearly 6 billion lbs of carbon emissions—the equivalent of taking over half a million cars off the road for an entire year.*
There are already enough awesome clothes on the planet.
Let’s wear them.
Wear Your Support
Wearing secondhand is a vote for the planet. Snag a statement piece and inspire others to #chooseused. Just like this exclusive collection, earth’s resources are limited and our planet is one-of-a-kind.


Choose Used Collection
Designed in collaboration with Olivia Wilde and Conscious Commerce, every design is screen printed on a used item and available in an inclusive range of sizes and styles. For every #chooseused item purchased, 10% of net proceeds will go to the thredUP Circular Fashion Fund
I love the idea that used clothes have been on adventures before I came to own them. You can feel that each piece has a soul.
