BBC Radio Scotland - Clever About Cash, How to create a waste-free wardrobe

Love Islander Jay Younger and Great British Sewing Bee winner Serena Baker share tips.

Love Islander Jay Younger and Great British Sewing Bee winner Serena Baker share their tips on saving money, reducing waste and extending the life of our clothes.

Whilst fast fashion is an easy and affordable choice for many, pre-loved clothing is enjoying a moment in the spotlight – ITV’s reality show Love Island even had a second-hand fashion partnership this summer. So how else can we save on our wardrobes, whilst being environmentally-friendly? Kim and Eileen chat to last year’s Great British Sewing Bee winner Serena Baker and Love Islander Jay Younger to discuss easy upcycling, the joys of charity shopping and how to avoid greenwashing when investing in clothes. They are joined by an audience in the Spiegeltent at the BBC’s Festivals site in Edinburgh who share their favourite ways to save money on fashion.   

Kim and Eileen also meet Joyce Reid in Dundee at The Wardrobe – a charity shop with a difference, and Claire D’All and Luke Murphy discuss tips that could help shops become more accessible for disabled consumers.
