The fashion industry unfortunately takes a lot of blame when it comes to climate change; however, this doesn’t mean that you can’t find clothes you like while also being sustainable.

Truly the best option would be to just never have to buy new clothes again, but that is unrealistic — and also not very fun. This is why there is thrifting. It’s not only a fun way to discover new styles and find cheap clothes, but it also keeps the environmental damage at a low.

Hope’s Closet

At 651 Commerce Center Drive, Hope’s Closet is for those who prefer the upscale, boutique thrifting experience. This is one of two Jacksonville locations, and each store carries used clothing, accessories, and decor, as well as some new items sprinkled in as well. Something to keep in mind is that Hope’s Closet is religiously affiliated, and run by the Church of Eleven22, so there are many Christian themes in the store.
