The Thrift Journey

Thrift shopping is the best way to find some old gems and even some new gems too. Its all about shopping your style and also switching it up once in a while. The common misconception around thrifting is that it’s most popular for clothing but that not the case. It's most definitely a journey worth venturing into. Thrift shopping has become the saving grace to an almost disastrous fast fashion industry. But we are seeing more and more brands jump onto the sustainable band wagon, and we aren’t complaining! Whether you are shopping for clothes, sneakers or casual items like plates or bags. Thrifting has become the new norm for many shoppers out there. There is a thrill of buying items that you love for a lesser cost and we believe that is why it has become so popular today. It has become more of a lifestyle and once an avid thrifter you fit perfectly into the various subcultures that represent pre-loved clothing. Fashion Conscious Collective has a collection specifically for thrift lovers, ranging from blazers, to lifestyle items and homeware products, we have got our tribe covered for everything. Items are carefully chosen to fit our market and also appeal to those who are newbies within this thrifting world. We have a variety of interesting and fun items for you, that we want you all to explore and purchase for yourself. Happy Thrifting!

Building a sustainable marketplace

Hey FCCTRIBE! You would probably want to know the inspiration behind the fashion conscious collective! Living sustainable is garned to be difficult or expensive, and it truly doesn’t have to be. All it needs is creativity and informative information of certain topics. This blog post will outline the various elements and ideas around the start of FCC and the new developments surrounding the brand. Having embarked my own sustainability journey, this has further encouraged me on educating myself on the subject. I realized how crucial my buying decisions impacted the environment, it was from then that I decided to take a huge step and advocate with people who share the same knowledge on the subject. Furthermore, I aim to provide our customers with the opportunity to shop their values .Which could range by, supporting items that are made by women in South Africa, or products that are eco-friendly and consciously made. Ultimately, I would like this platform to became a community- a community of collaborators and contributors which will serve as a safespace for those who would love to know more on being an environmentally friendly citizen. With the official launch around the corner, we hope and believe that the excitement is building and our community is ready to go all out and support us. We are ultimately stronger together. Love, Elle”
