Marks and Spencer Partners with Oxfam for Sustainable Wardrobe Solutions ♻️

We've all experienced the struggle of storing clothes we no longer wear in our wardrobes! Well, our problems have just been solved.  Marks and Spencer and Oxfam have come up with the perfect solution launching a trial offering you a free postal donation for all your pre-loved clothes. Through a prepaid postal donation bag from the Oxfam website, you can give your pre-loved wearable clothes a new home or your unwearable (yet too good to go) clothes a chance to be reused and recycled in a completely circular system, helping tackle high levels of textile waste left in landfills. So what counts as wearable and unwearable? Clothes that will be labelled as wearable are defined as clean, dry, in good condition, and ready to wear. Whereas unwearable pieces count as damaged in some way, e.g., torn, stained, faded, or stretched. So, let's declutter with purpose and kickstart your wardrobe clear-out in a sustainable way and order your prepaid donation bag here.
