"Hand Me Downs"

A Sustainable Practice that positively impacts the environment.

It's no surprise that just as fast as the new year starts, in no time the year ends.

This is so evident with children! - they grow so fast and grow out of their clothes even faster ๐Ÿ˜ฉ which in turn means more money spent on new clothes which they may never get to wear with their sporadic growth spurts.๐Ÿ™ƒ 

That's where "Hand me downs" become your societally "forbidden" and dreaded saviors ๐Ÿคซ. Yes, we'd love to get more customers, but I dare say, our children, our loved ones and environment hold higher value.๐Ÿคญ 

Think about it.

Hand me Downs in good condition save you tons of cash, and the pratice offers an opportunity to appreciate the value of things that matter beyond the material - sharing is caring, gratitude and being ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS, to mention a few.

Sustainability should be everyoneโ€™s concern because it helps to reduce wastage which can come in the form of air, water and noise pollution. Our quality of life is improved for the better and our health is directly impacted by all of this! 

The fashion industry is huge and utilizes industrial processes for its services and as a consequence is a major contributor of water pollution through wastewater dumped into our precious water bodies, polluting the freshwater supply with harmful chemicals.

At Day MyLane we go the extra mile to build in the capacity to earn extra fashion mileage.
How? By carefully selecting good quality fabrics that endure well under wear and tear.
Sustainability is Important to us at Day MyLane.

Our collections are made on-demand, which means once you place the order, we start working to get it to you. It takes time for us to create and send out the product, but making each order on-demand allows us to avoid overproduction. This way we get to take care of you, and the planet we all share.
