Sprezza Vintage

Vintage, retro, deadstock, secondhand and pre-owned clothing. Support the circular economy by saving good quality apparel from going to waste in landfills ♻️ The Italian word 'Sprezzatura' is defined as a certain nonchalance, so as to conceal all art and make whatever one wears appear to be without effort and thought. The fashion industry has an enormous environmental impact. It’s estimated that it emits 1.2 billion tons of CO2 - 4% of the world’s total carbon emissions. An enormous amount of water is also consumed in the process of growing cotton, while toxic chemicals used to dye fabrics can end up in local water systems. After all that damage is done, many of the clothes we buy don’t even get worn. With the average lifespan of clothing being just over three years, wearing something for an extra nine months can reduce its carbon footprint by 20-30%.
