🌱 Why Pre Loved Matters
Many people have heard the term fast fashion, but not everyone knows what it means. Fast fashion refers to clothing produced very quickly, in huge quantities, and at very low cost. It keeps shops stocked with constantly changing trends - but it also creates a lot of hidden waste.

A few things people often don’t realise:
• Clothes made for fast fashion are usually designed to be worn only a handful of times
• Ireland discards around 110,000 tonnes of textiles every year, and almost all of it ends up in landfill or incineration (EPA).
• Producing new clothes uses huge amounts of water, energy, and chemicals
• Items often travel across multiple countries before reaching a shop

But the good news is that small choices genuinely make a difference!

Choosing pre loved:
• Keeps great clothes in circulation
• Reduces waste and demand for new production
• Saves resources
• Supports a more thoughtful, community based approach to fashion

And when you do want something new, supporting local boutiques is a brilliant alternative. They focus on quality, longevity, and personal service - the opposite of the disposable, high volume model that drives fast fashion.

New to You Newmarket celebrates all of this: community, creativity, sustainability, and the joy of finding something unique.
All proceeds from stall bookings support local community initiatives, including the development of a new community garden at Coolagh Bridge.

We can’t wait to welcome you for a brilliant day of fashion, community, and feel good shopping.
