Why Thrift? The Hidden Power of Secondhand
Most of us know that thrifting saves money — but did you know it saves resources too?
Every new t-shirt, pair of jeans, or handbag requires water, energy, and labor to produce. When you buy secondhand, you reduce the demand for new production and keep perfectly good clothes out of landfills.
According to the EPA, Americans throw away over 11 million tons of textiles every year. By shopping secondhand, you’re fighting that waste, piece by piece.
How Consignment Keeps Clothes in Circulation
Consignment is one of the easiest ways to extend the life of your clothes. Instead of tossing an item you no longer love, you can bring it to Diversity Consignment.
We help find it a new home — and you earn money or store credit for something you’ll actually wear.
This simple cycle keeps fashion circular, local, and accessible for everyone.
More Than Clothes: A Community Movement
When you shop or consign with us, you’re not just clearing out your closet — you’re part of a bigger mission.
Our community includes students, artists, families, and style-lovers from all walks of life. Together, we prove that fashion can be expressive, inclusive, and eco-friendly.
You’re helping your neighbors find affordable pieces, discover their style, and shop consciously.
How to Start Shopping & Consigning Smarter
Want to join in? Here’s how:
✅ 1. Clean out your closet. Look for quality pieces you don’t wear.
✅ 2. Bring them to us. We’ll handle pricing and selling.
✅ 3. Shop intentionally. Find pre-loved gems that match your style — and skip trends you don’t really need.
✅ 4. Tell a friend. The more people buy and sell secondhand, the bigger the impact.
Let’s Make Boston a Little Greener
Small actions add up. By choosing secondhand, you’re showing that style doesn’t have to cost the Earth — or empty your wallet.
Next time you’re ready for something new, think local, think circular, and think Diversity.
Because when we shop smarter together, we all look good — and do good.
