At Eco Threads Collective we learn from seasoned op-shoppers and discover more about giving second-hand items a second chance to support our environment.
Did you know each Australian disposes of an average of 23kg of clothing to landfill each year? Australia has no systematic resources for collecting unwearable clothing.
Our goal is to inspire and give practical tips for balancing planet-friendly habits with our imperfect reality and have fun doing it!!
I’m El Rattray, passionate about sustainable fashion and proud to produce and Co-host Thrift ShopTo Catwalk preloved fashion shows - local charity fundraising community events with my gorgeous Co-host Liz Cole, owner and extremely dedicated operator at The White House nook and cafe located in Darawank NSW.
