Press Release Body: Vintage clothes supplier, Devoted 2 Vintage is pleased to be
doing their bit to help the environment.

What better way to help the environment than by recycling clothes that otherwise
would be destined for the rubbish? In fact, with many modern designer collections
being based on vintage or retro designs, why settle for an imitation when quite
often, an original piece can be sourced.

(Paul Armstrong - Managing Director D2V Ltd.) said;

"Designers the world over seek inspiration from decades gone by and modern
collections are often heavily influenced by iconic designs. Buying from a vintage
clothes shop allows you to get the key look while helping the environment at the
same time."

Choosing to buy vintage is something Devoted 2 Vintage are keen to support, after
all, when you buy a piece of retro clothing you are helping to save the environment.
Clothing that is all too often thrown away ends up in landfills which recycling
helps to reduce. In addition, many cotton crops that are used for clothes
manufacture are sprayed with pesticides. These pesticides are known to sometimes be
harmful to the environment.

We must also not forget that many modern, mass produced clothes are produced in
sweatshops around the world. Buying a piece of vintage clothing means that you can
be sure that you are not supporting this kind of trade.

(Paul Armstrong - Managing Director D2V Ltd.) also stated;

"No one likes to think about the fact that in some cases, the clothes they are
wearing is made at the expense of child labour and third world sweatshops. Choosing
to wear vintage gives us the confidence in knowing that we do not support such
methods of manufacture."

Buying retro clothes says a lot about who you are and adds to the number of things
an individual can do to help the environment. Recycling is a great way to help make
a difference and what better way than with the clothes we wear.
