Move over I Saw It First and Missguided, Love Isla

Move over I Saw It First and Missguided, Love Island’s head has been turned. After facing public backlash for promoting fast fashion, the reality show has inked a deal with Ebay to kit out this year’s contestants in preloved clothing.

Fast fashion has finally given Love Island “the ick”. The show is hoping to use its influence to inspire more sustainable behaviour change, a move that could help make sustainability aspirational. “We strive to be a more eco-friendly production, with more focus on ways in which we can visibly show this on screen,” says executive producer Mike Spencer.

Obviously buying preowned and vintage bags only adds to the gain for the environment. Bags can be made of sometimes 20 components. We are talking about outer leather, trim leather, reinforcements, zips, studs, press stud, zip, zip tape, zip head, zip pull, stitch thread, chain, d-rings, linings, reinforcement tapes, etc. each of these items are made individually in a different location. The resources used to make just the raw components is immense. Then they need to be transported to the factory, again individually as all from different suppliers. This is even before the bag is constructed. The industry’s methods can be highly polluting through the use of fossil, toxic chemicals, excess use of water etc.

With the rise of the circular economy, to reuse, repair and recycle, we believe we’re only at the very start of achieving a more sustainable future.

Possibly the coolest bag of the moment, the Louis
