At Glam we love sustainable fashion and Adelaide is loving it too!

Pre-loved stores are opening up all over Adelaide and it’s such a positive way to source and sell your fashion without feeling guilty. Renting a rack originated from Finland and has been around since the 1980s.

Whether it’s selling your own preloved items or shopping for them, preloved markets are a fantastic way to help reduce waste, support the environment and save some money. Most people don’t wear 50% of their wardrobe and renting a rack is a quick and efficient way to give your clothes and accessories a new home!

Nothing better than a spring clean that will make you some extra cash on the side for that new car or holiday you’ve been dreaming about. Here is our ultimate guide to pre-loved fashion and renting a rack in Adelaide:
