When I was growing up in the 1970s, my mom was a single mother. We were not poor, but she was very frugal and careful. As a result, she cleaned with vinegar and water, hung laundry to dry, etc.. When I was married and starting a family in the early 1990s, I had the money to live comfortably, but hated spending my hard earned money unnecessarily, so I bought my and my childrens’ clothes at the thrift store. I used cloth diapers (hand me down and second hand purchased) washed in Hydrogen peroxide- dried on the clothes line. I still wash windows with vinegar and water, and old newspapers from my neighbours’ recycling bins. I make my own cleaning products with vinegar, baking soda and tea tree oil. 80% of my wardrobe is thrifted. 75% of my furniture is second hand and I LOVE every piece in my home. There is nothing like the beauty and history of preloaded, unique items.
👏👏👏👏 that is amazing 🤩. We also buy most of our clothes second hand and a lot of our furniture as well. I'm currently looking for a rug for our living room, it needs to be about 2m X 3m and in a natural material. I am looking for one in the second hand market.
Amazing!!!
I have a 30 year old bathrobe. When I was sleeping at my grandmothers house I would always take a bath and then go to bed with this robe on. She would tuck me in and bounce the bed around me to shake all the bed dreams out. It was waay to large for me and now it's a little small. But whenever it hangs next to my bed I am protected against bad dreams. ❤
Love the reverse haul! My 87 year old aunt passed on to me a silver platter, tea kettle, and a quite a bit of glassware when we visited her in the fall. Every time I have a drink I am reminded of her wonderful spirit 💖
My mom bought new silverware when i was 19. It had two roses pn the handles and my mom said it was for her and my dad. Many years aftermy mom died, dad gave me that silverware and i still have it today at 75 years old. It reminds me of them all the time.
I sewed my husband a pair of trousers like 6 years ago and he's still wearing it. I didn't even use the best fabrics and have mended it a few times, but he loves it and I'm proud that my work lasts this long and is appreciated. The new pair we bought 3 month ago already needs to be mended.
Why did I get a Shein ad before this video 😂💀
I almost always get a car ad before videos about reducing car dependency 😂
The video title: Car-centric infrastructure is literally killing us!
The ad: Taste the bald eagle with our new 60,000 HP pickup truck! You can drive to the top of a literal mountain! You can drive fast vroom vroom! Truuuucksssss 🤤
I got a Cartier ad 🤣
Shein is the front yard of hell 💀😩
I got an ad for makeup designed for older women (i am 22) 😂😂
As an older viewer (64) I have many older items. I have some sweaters that my aunt knitted for me back in the 1980’s, that she has taken apart and used the yarn to make a different style of sweater. Back in the day, young women would start a “Hope Chest”, stocking it with items that they would want/need when starting out on their own or as a young married couple. I had purchased some china in the mid 1970’s that I have started to recently use as my everyday plates because yes, every day is a special occasion. I have sons and they are not interested in having them. I will use them, enjoy them until I am no more. I also have table cloths that had been made by my aunt that I cherish, and linen table cloths that were purchased back in the 1940’s. I don’t care if my home or clothing are not on the fashion trend of the moment.
I totally understand savoring the smell of your grandma's house!! When my grandma passed away and we divided up her stuff, I was overcome with emotion at being able to smell her home in her things because of how much peace her home had given me throughout the years.
my wool knit scarf that i wore 60+ years ago as a small girl (plaid) maybe bought in scotland by my grandmother. still wearing it! great idea for a video. i am loving all my old good stuff right now!
Regarding the "saving nice things for whatever important day":
A few years ago my grandparents lost all of their everyday plates and dishes at once because a kitchen cupboard broke and released everything in a waterfall of porcelain. My grandparents sat right next to it when it happened and kept on eating lunch because it was beyond rescue anyway. They had another set of perfectly fine dishes in the basement (in fact they even had a THIRD set inherited from my grandmas parents) and didn't need to buy anything for replacement. 😅
When I moved out of my parents house I got a few plates from my other grandparents which my parents stored in their basement. The rest I got from "for free" boxes, I can't remember buying any porcelain or glass new.
I love this idea of celebrating things we have had for a long time! Among other things, I have a cabinet that belonged to my grandmother. When I was a kid it held her extensive salt and pepper shaker collection. My siblings and I would sit and look at all the salt and pepper shakers every time we would visit. There must have been hundreds of them. My grandmother passed away over 10 years ago. Now the cabinet is in my house and holds my collection of vintage Pyrex, along with a few of my grandmother's salt and pepper shakers. It is one of my favorite pieces of furniture.
That is so special, and I love that you use it for a similar collection storage purpose 😍
So cool!
this was so much more fascinating than a haul, thank you for sharing these stories with us
I’m 16, most of my wardrobe consists of my mum’s old clothes from before I was born as she doesn’t wear them anymore. I love these clothes so much and I hope I will be able to wear them for a long time into the future!
Hi Gittemary. I love you and your channel and what you are doing. Thank you so much. I am an environmental scientist. Over the last 10 years I have reduced my carbon footprint by 250%. I am no longer causing harm. I will be moving off grid later this year and I can't wait. Love always, Cal. 🥰
okay go you ✨✨✨
Last Halloween I stopped by my parents’ house and noticed that they still put up the same window cling decorations that we put up in the 90s. It really warmed my heart and felt so special to have this link to my childhood.
I LOOOOVE this concept! ❤😍 owning things that are durable should be the normal thing, not buying things constantly.
YES 🙏
I also got a pillow case from my great-grandma when I moved into my first apartment. :) I was so hesitant to wash it because I was scared I could damage it, until my mom was just like "well it was made to be scrubbed and washed at 90 degrees, I think it can handle your washer" :D
I have two of my grandmothers cooking pots and a spatula. Every time I cook with them I think of all the dinners we had at her house. Sitting in the kitchen and watching her smile and laugh.
When we were cleaning out my grandma's apartment, my sister pulled out a checkered blouse that was just my style. I love wearing it, and my grandmother's soap was so strong that I could still smell it a year later. Gave me the same joy as you described with the pillow :) But perhaps my favourite heirloom is a hammer that belonged to my great grandfather who build boats, which my dad used for his boat and that I now used to build my tiny house. It's an awesome feeling to use tools that are over a century old 😊
My parents used to have an upholstery business and I still have theirtack hammer. It's a prized possession as they are both gone now.
I relate to the joy of getting your parent's old stuff from your childhood home. I recently got some cutlery that was last used until the mid-2000s when my parents got some new cutlery, and the joy of putting my grown-up hands on in again for the first time was just.. ☺
We had a joke in our family that we said every time a garment (shoes, bags, things in general) brakes. "My grandfather wore it, my father wore it, I wore it. My son puts it on two times and it's broken." Feigning dissapointment and blame towards the son for breaking it so fast while others wore it for so long, with the subtext of the garment has been worn for ages. Unfortunately we have run out of family relics. So those of us who can afford it, shop quality over quantity. And those who can't shop second hand and often.
I love this whole idea! At 47, my oldest items are 13 years old because I lost all possessions in a natural disaster that year. But it has definitely made me look at things more critically and assists me in staying somewhat minimalist (except my wardrobe and shoes I admit). I also LOVE the idea of celebrating every day like it's a special occasion and try to live that way as much as possible.
Related - I do not "hoard" arts and crafts supplies any longer, I collect and use them up and if something of that sort isn't being used I will donate or give it away within 1-2 years.
So many of my kitchen utensils and storage containers belonged to my mother and grandmothers. I love using them every single day! ❤
LOVE
My version is red glass--my mother collected it, and when she died I acquired her collection. And while I don't find a lot at thrift shops, I found a whole set put out on the street a couple of years ago! Awesome!
Hi lovely! Archivist here!… Try to keep that 1919 beauty out of direct sunlight if you can:) 🤞 or move it around every now and then to avoid long term light damage over the years. Love watching your channel over the years, thank you for everything!! xx
I try to take good care of it, at least, it doesn’t get any direct sunlight, so hopefully it won’t get so damaged ✨🙏
Doing the same sort of inventory, I realized that the oldest things I own are my most loved things: my boyfriend’s old Tamrac camera bag that I use as my everyday purse, a red kimono jacket that someone in Japan made for my mom because she was too tall to fit into store-bought clothes there, old street hockey roller blades from one of my mom’s coworkers. The oldest man-made thing I own is a drawing of 2 dogs done sometime in the early 1900s by my mom’s mom’s mom’s mom. I think it’s cool that it’s been passed down through a line of women in my family. It’s also a reminder that art is in my blood. I can’t wait to hang it up in a home that I own someday.
That is an amazing piece of history 🥹
1. I am mining engineer and I have collected rocks from every quarry I have visit. I love to decorate with them.
2. You have to pay to much nowadays for quality, so I really appreciate my past generations items.
3. I like my items to look used.. Brand new items looks fake to me, I feel that I don’t wear them but rather they do me. Of course others disagree, especially marketing 🎉
4. Fan fact, I went to Miele to buy a new vacuum (my old one needed 100 plus euros for some part I needed to change)
The sales person told me... the new it want be better... bring your current vacuum for service and you will have a brand new vacuum for the next 10 years at least! They want it to be known for long lasting items!
I used to hate all the staff my mums owns in her house, no that I'm 45, each time I go back home, I take something from my mum's closet or kitchen cupboards.. I'm basically my mum 😂😂😂😂
The shirt and pillow case background story was so special and sentimental. TFS.
🥹🥹🥹
Made a bed jacket when I was 17. I wore it when I gave birth to all my children. I still wear it. I’m 57.
This is such a beautiful video... celebrating people one loves, memories to cherish, things that matter... exactly the values I want to guide how I do life! Thank you Gittemarie💚💙💜💚💙💜
Thank you for the support ✨✨
My version of a clothing haul is staking claim to clothing that my family members have outgrown or no longer fit them and they come to me to live and die a 2nd life. My brother recently gave me some sleeveless shirts that he lost weight no longer fit him well, I have 3 new to me sleep shirts and they're so comfy. My SIL recently de-cluttered some of her old sweatshirts that no longer fit her, but the fit me, and they are a weekly wear now. My husband and I have had to start buying new (thrift) clothes recently because the clothes we've had for the last 15 years (we are 30 years old now) are slowly starting to die and need to be replaced cause they can't be repaired because of the way they're getting ruined.
In terms of kitchen utensils, I use my great grandmother's utility kitchen knife that she got in the 1930s. My mother had it in a kitchen drawer cause it was dull, I 'stole' it from her, got it sharpened, and it is my Husband and I's favorite knife. I also have many other pieces that I have claimed that were my mother's, grandmother's, and great grandmother's.
I love this idea! I have a cream colored beanie my mom knitted in the 80’s, I wear it every winter. I have an old crocheted hat that I got at a thrift store in 2005, I still wear that thing every autumn. I have a mesh shirt that I bought when I was working at Wet Seal in 2003, I still use it as a layering piece. I have a collection of vintage cookbooks that were also my mom’s. Some of the books are from the late 1940’s and were her mother’s as well!
"well loved" 🥰 means so much more and is so much better than "disposable" 😢
I moved countries and changed body sizes, so not a lot of stuff I have for a long time, but I do have an umbrella I bought when I was 16 with saved money as I wanted one that would not break with the first wind, I love it. I have 2 crochet scarves that friends crochet for me around 10 years ago, use every Winter. I also, have a fossil my grandfather collected that was part of is collection and that I did an description in computer since he did not know how to use one. For last, the island where I born was a whale hunting place, with time it progressed to whale watching and preservation, so I have a necklace pendant made of whale bone which made me feel connected with the History of where ai come from, plus it will become more and more rare since all the whale bone that exists in my island are from the past, no new ones are obtained. There is a great value added whith this kind of things.
My favorite object I own is a watch that my grandfather bought for my grandmother, I wear it every single day. Love this idea of a reverse haul, it's like learning the biographies of things!
I loved this, yey for celebrating the special things we have! My mum recently found a peg bag which she sewed as a teenager and I wanted it for my pegs, she didn't really understand why but It takes something everyday, and reminds me of her every time I hang laundry :)
When i was a teenager my mom gave me an old scarf that my grandfather bought her when she was a teenager. This scarf is now over 30 years old and i still wear it every winter cause its my favorite.
I remember a dress that i wore to a dance when i was 14 i got it from my mom and she borrowed it from my godmother who bought it for a dance 20 years before i wore it. We had to throw it away after i wore it cause my mum had to sew it to my fit and it was a dress from c&a so the quality wasnt the best and it wasnt made to life for more than 20 years.
I have accumulated so many things from my family. My mom's 30-year-old dining set, my grandma's china, my husband's great grandmother's wine glasses, etc. These are my prized possessions for sure! I love a reverse haul.
Still wearing a couple shirts from middle school that my best friend handed down to me, that were handed down from her mother❤️ Surpassing over a decade I still wear them 👌
I still have all the sweaters my granda made for my father when he was a teen. They fit very well. And my 3 blankets. One is my baby blanket and other 2 are bigger. They don't make 'em like that anymore. Love them! We also have a very old pot my husband found in his parente attic. It actually reminded me of you Gitte, because it is orange and red. You would love it!
I have old, beyond tarnished, charms from jewelry my mom used to wear. Now they live in my jewelry box until I'm nostalgic or when I'm able to give a go at polishing them to wear. I have knitting and crochet tools from both my grandmother and mother that I love to use! Generations crafting together even when apart by miles or death can be felt when I use them, and pull inspiration from what I've seen them use.
I don't have that many things that are old, but the oldest are probably clothes my mom has made for herself and now I have them! they are very dear to me and like you said, fast fashion could never give you the feeling of wearing something that has been in the family or something your mom has made!
I love this! So much more meaning in this video than any kind of Amazon affiliate nonsense

A few years ago I found a dresser on Facebook marketplace that is certainly older than me, though I don't know exactly how old. It's solid wood with a marble tile on top, it's made with pretty dovetail joinery, and it is just so clearly handmande. it cost me $25. I don't think I've ever been so proud of a purchase 😭. It needed a little tlc, but I've honestly grown to love the maintenance of it. It doesn't have any sort of drawer mechanism, it's just wood on wood, so every couple months I take the drawers out and rub wax on the bottoms of them to help them slide better, and that little ritualistic interaction with this object that I love is so refreshing. I think a lot of times we see maintenance as a cost, but I think if you can reframe it as a way to reconnect with your belongings and check in every once in a while (last time I waxed the drawers I noticed one of the boards on the inside of the dresser was coming loose and I was able to fix it before it became a problem) then it becomes a serious positive.
Love this! Unfortunately we're also losing the knowledge of how to take care of these vintage objects... Your example is really inspirational to me!
One of the first things I bought at a thrift store in 2012 that I still wear is a Levi's denim shirt with a tear along one of the pockets, that I repaired and covered with trimming. The oldest dress I own, however, I think is a top, cut from a slip that my grandmother wore as a young girl in the 1930s. As for household items, I own a lot of my grandmother's dinnerware, including a set of cups which she has always used at parties since I was little.
Loved the concept of this video! I wear as a necklace the gold baby ring of my mother every single day, and I cherish it so much. In my apartment bedroom, I have an orange macrame plant hanger that my mother made when she was younger. I also have some earings that belonged to my grand-mother and recently I started wearing them and the look is fire, they are so pretty and good quality. ❤
I have some old pieces, but one that I use every winter, is my winter jacket from Barbour, bought in 2005. It was fun many years later, that brand and type of jacket, quilted, became high fashion. 😂 It still looks good. I also have the waxed jacket from the same brand. Pretty new, only 10-12 years old! 🤣They never go out of style, and I have not been able to wear them out. 👍
I loved this idea of a video. Bring on more of them. I have a number of old things that I appreciate and am so glad I've managed to keep them. Two come to mind: a velvet clutch purse that was my mother's. She used it when she was a stylish teen back in the 50s. I have it on display on a shelf next to a pic of her. Another thing I have that is a little odder, is a metal coin bank called Fingers. I think it was out in the 60s. You put a coin on a spot, turn a windup key, and a green skeletal hand comes out and takes the coin. It was my grandmother's and I used to play with it whenever I went to her house when I was really young. When it came time to clean out her house after she passed, I was so pleased to see that it was still there and I could keep it.
This is fabulous, and I definitely have a few pieces like this. As a seamstress, I also really appreciate seeing that blouse and hearing its history! So much care went into its original construction, I'm picturing the (likely) woman who stitched every seam, added every button... Magic!
I’m wearing one of my late grandmother’s tops as I watch this, feeling her with me somehow ❤️ as you said : no amount of fast fashion can match this feeling.
EXACTLY
I have a bunch of my parents dishes. I have some breakfast dishes that they had when they were married. I like to use them they’re in very careful and keep them in the car Abnet. I also have some old clocks that remind me of my childhood and then my plates that I use I had the whole time I was growing up that my mom had given me that they had when they ran the bowling alley. I love old hand me downs.
I still use my LL Bean backpack I got in the third grade….I’m 28. It may not have a laptop sleeve, but it’s got a slot for a CD player…
I still have my first jean jack from when I was a kid. Sleeves are short now but fits still. I think was second hand then. I have the wood costers and napkin holder we used every where we want. Napkinholder has weat craved in to it.
I have an old blouse that I think was my great grandmothers. It has hand made lace on it. I also have a pajama top that is 60 years old. It is the softest thing.
Wow that is precious 🥹
Kinda along the same line as your blazer from Zara, I got a black dress from Forever 21 in like 2013 because I got a gift card there for my sixteenth birthday. The dress was like $15 but it has held up over the years and I still wear it today! It was very helpful when I sang in a choir and I had to wear all black and I wore it as part of my Eras Tour outfit last year!
This needs to trend, its so fun
Let’s see what I can do 🫡
I own two breakfast bowls, one since kindergarten age, the other one like from first or second grade. So I own both of them for over 20 years and still love and use them. Also I have a houseplant, which was a cutting from a plant my grandma has since the eighties! Mine is like 8 years old, I guess.
I would love to see a whole reverse haul of all of your heirloom treasures. Loved this video
Definitely going to do another video 🫡
Wow: the gloves, the beret (please model it for us sometime), the white blouse. Just so many lovely, sentimental items. How wonderful that you associate such great memories with them. I totally get that. 💟💜
Best tip from my family: go shopping in your sisters closets. Sometimes i get stuff back that i gave to them years ago. Half of therire clothes are my moms old ones. But now we cant go through our moms closet since she started only shopping cheap stuff on shein.
I love having old things that have been loved for a long time! A decade ago I got a complete china set that a friend of my parents had inherited from her mother, and after many years of storage I am now in a position where I can use it all the time and it brings me so much joy ❤ my ring is an heirloom from my great grandmother, and it's so deinty and perfect and I want to wear it forever. I got a bunch of things when my nan's household was dissolved, like fancy green glasses, old chopping boards and wooden spoons. All the good stuff. I really love wearing clothes that I've had for a long time, I know that they are comfortable and soft. I have a hoodie that I got from my cousin about 15 years ago, which she got from my grandad. It's a year older than me and in better condition than hoodies that have been bought 2 years ago. It brings me so much joy to be surrounded by older things that stand the test of time, and I really enjoy being part of a movement that has slowed down on consumerism, especially fast fashion. Thank you for the video!
I have have clothes that I've had for about 14 years. I've actually got a coat that I still fit in, and still wear, that I got when I was 13...... I am now 35. Yes, I have grown since then. No, it was not a lot. Lolz. The coat was actually a bit large on me back then. Also, my mum has just given me a pair of pajamas and a button up night shirt for me to use to nurse my first baby in, in a couple of weeks, which she wore to nurse me. So I currently own three items of clothing which are older than me!
I love the reverse haul idea - and the adoration you have your grandmother is heartwarming 🩷

Love this video....I'm 58 years old and I bought only 2 sofas in my life, I love both of it😂. Second hand is a great way to buy something" new", when I buy new things only when I like it very much❤
Love this video idea! I got two of my grandpa's sweaters after his death. They are so comfortable, I love them so much, I constantly get so many compliments about them but my grandma's joy everytime she sees me wearing would be worth it alone ❤
This video has made me quite emotional ❤
honestly, it was emotional to make as well ✨
ME. I am the demographic for this video. I do this in my head all the time and I'm so happy to have a name for it! Among my favorite possessions are a very psychedelic minidress of my mother's from the early 70's, a dark brown halter neck evening dress of hers (with a beautiful macrame detail at the neckline) from the late 70s, and a men's camel blazer that I got at a (gone but not forgotten) secondhand store called Cheap Jack's in NYC when I was a college student in the early 90s; I just patched the lining last fall and added a little embroidery, and I love it so much!
Oh wait, and I forgot my German army surplus backpack, which I've also had since college and which has been a faithful traveling companion ever since.
I feel like we have been lacking the reverse haul - thank you for being the demographic 🥹
I own two dresses that I use for fancy parties. One I've had since I was 11 and the other since I was 15. I'm now 25. I'm the person who will tell in every party that these dresses are old and I don't wear anything else. Well, now I also have some of my grandma's old dresses, but I think they also fit the part. It's so riddiculous to me that we should have a new dress for every party. Such a waste of everything. On a sidenote, what do men wear to every party? The same twenty year old suit and nobody expects anything else.
Love this!!! Quite a few of my favourite tops which I wear every week are fast fashion brands too but 5 to 9 years old! Any family hand-me-downs are so precious too ❤
I had a teacher do something like that to me when I was a kid too!! lol I brought in a cool geode basically, and she was so convinced that it was fake she said she’d call my grandma if I kept lying…my grandma gave it to me 💀💀💀 lmaoo
such a weird hill to die on for a grown up 💀
THIS IS A GENIUS VIDEO! I am going to make my own version (credits given of course) cause I love it so much :) congrats on all your old items :)
That's so cool! I love the idea of reverse haul! I have red leather gloves that my mother gave them to me about twenty years ago and I still love them and wear them a lot!^^
I love this!!I have my grandmas stand mixer and use it all the time! I also have her wedding and engagement rings (need to get them resized) but my mom said that my grandfather bought the engagement ring in a vintage shop so god knows how old it is. My husbands wedding band is a ring my grandfather made for my grandma out of a shilling before they were engaged. I should probably learn the years 🤔
How about the rings, especially the one your grandfather made.
I love this idea for a video and now I wanna make a show and tell video about my oldest favorite stuff ❤❤❤ cause that's what this felt like and I'm here for it
One of my oldest, most used and beloved items is my bordeaux Napapijri back pack, bought in high school and still going strong to this day, almost 20 years later. Love it to bits ❤️
Absolutely beautiful video! I wish everyone would listen and learn from you❤️
I love that you are young and you see how awesome having your mom & grandmother's things is. It took me getting older to appreciate vintage things. I completely agree with the others about making your own cleaning products and living more frugal and being careful with your purchases. Some clothes today are made really well and do last (not Shein we know). Plus if you take good care of your "stuff" it lasts a lot longer too. I love your glasses too; green stems-gorgeous!!
My crochet hooks, knitting needles, my sewing box, my books, and most of my clothes are handme downs or heirlooms. I love using the stuff I already have.
The oldest things I have in my space are blankets made by my grandma and a crochet blanket my mom made that works as a weighted blanket for me. Some blankets my younger siblings have claimed (since they are still kids themselves and love a good soft blanket like anyone) but I've made sure to keep some as my own personal to take with me when I get my own home.
Omg the sundae glasses!!! I found a set of 6 out in the street in Brussels! They are some of my favourite things. My daughter now prefers ice cream to cake on her birthday ❤
Someone threw them away 😔?? They are iconic
i have my great great grandmothers silverware, they are worn and tarnished from use, i use them as everyday ware i love them and think they are more beautiful because of the wear and history.
❤ your grandma’s gloves!
This video made me feel so nostalgic and I thank you for it ❤
Thank you for watching ♥️
I love this concept! I also got some old blue glass fancy items from a grandmotherly figure in my life and I use them for everyday things and special things. Which is a lot more life than they had sitting in her cabinet
I got a perl spoon that was my grade grandmas from my dad last week and its beautiful.
Love the idea of a reverse haul ❤
I love this video so much! Thank you for sharing your precious memories that associate to those beautiful items.🥰💖

I love this concept of a reverse haul! It's something I've been thinking about increasingly as an antidote to fast fashion and continued shopping for new or new-to-me things, that we should all be doing more to celebrate the beloved items we still have and use. In my case there are fewer heirlooms from family, but more things I bought years and years ago and am shocked have lasted as well as they have. New subscriber as of this video, keep doing what you do!
Love the idea of the reverse haul! ❤
Just my perspective on wearing old "animal products", like your gloves or real fur, is very different: Wearing this stuff in public helps to normalize it. And I'm sure we all ageee that it should not be normal to wear the skin of a snake, crocodile or fox on our body for decoration. Maybe something to consinder while making this kind of (of course very personal) decisions.
Some version of this comment exists on every video ever made where a vegan wears secondhand animal products
Maybe because it's a relevant perspective to a lot of people?
I completely get why other people could have a different view - but aren’t we also normalising of validating leather, further, wool etc when we wear vegan or synthetic versions that look the same? If a products seeks to look like the animal version then won’t that validate the original as well then ? 👀 I don’t necessarily prescribe to this idea, at least I think it means that I have to hold myself responsible for people’s perception of what I wear, and I don’t think that’s the best starting point for a conversation about these materials going forward
instead I want to focus on conscious consumption and to me, there is nothing mindful about discarding functional items 🩷
I grew up in South Africa-I have structured handbags of rhino and crocodile that my mother carried when she was young. Not really something to wear now,but impossible to get rid of. I was also lucky enough to get my grandmother’s shadow box with all its mementos that still hangs in my bedroom right now.
I love this idea of your reverse haul!
What a great idea. I love my reverse haul❤
We have this glasses too (in South Germany)!!! 😂
what, love that 😍
Loved this vlog! I can so relate! All of my grandparents are no longer earthside, which I feel is a bit sad as I really never got to know them as an adult (aka when all the hormones take up all the space in yer mind). I do however treasure some totems that make me feel close to them. ❤
LMAO I LOVE THIS CONCEPT!!!
such a wonderful video! love the idea of a reverse haul!
I love this video idea. Such beautiful and special items.
I honestly loved this video, I thought it was so heartwarming and inspiring! Would love to see more!
Loved this video! The majority of my things are quite old! I love to preserve clothes, books and things in general!
