About this episode
What are you wearing this holiday season? As our social media gets flooded with Christmas jumpers and glittery tops, it’s time to talk about the true cost of the seasonal clothes we buy. If we’re getting a bargain, who is picking up the bill? And what are the pros and cons of recycling and resale, renting and reinventing.
