In this episode of the Conscious Style Podcast, we're going to be talking all about the secondhand fashion ecosystem with Emily Stochl, the producer and host of Pre-Loved Podcast, which is a weekly interview show that explores the vintage, thrift and secondhand industry.

In this interview, you'll hear (or read!) about:

• What pre-loved fashion encompasses and how you can get started not only with conscious shopping secondhand, but with secondhand fashion activism;
• What the concern about gentrification of thrift stores is all about and what this conversation is currently missing;
• How charity shops really operate and what this means for the global secondhand trade;
• What the recent $1 billion+ IPO (initial public offering) of ThredUP might mean for the future of secondhand;
• And more!
