What Is Secondhand Sunday?

Think of it as the fashion-forward answer to the overconsumption madness of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Secondhand Sunday celebrates giving pre-loved pieces a second life—and taking a stylish stand against throwaway culture.

It’s the reminder we all need: you don’t have to buy new to look new.

Why Secondhand Matters Now More Than Ever

The fashion industry is one of the top contributors to global waste, with millions of garments ending up in landfills every year. And while the sales this weekend might be tempting, they come at a high cost to the planet.

Secondhand Sunday shifts the focus from mindless scrolling to mindful styling. It’s about:

  • Reducing fashion waste

  • Saving money

  • Expressing personal style sustainably

  • Supporting circular fashion platforms (like BONNEE!)

How BONNEE Makes Secondhand Effortless (And Chic)

On BONNEE, secondhand doesn't mean second best. It means:

  • Swapping instead of shopping

  • Turning your closet into a style ecosystem

  • Discovering unique pieces from other fashionistas

Here’s how it works:

  1. Post what you’re ready to part with

  2. Earn swap credits

  3. Choose a new-to-you piece in the same tier

  4. Pay a small fee + shipping

That’s it. Your wardrobe stays fresh. Your impact stays low.
