Savers

 Yesterday, our class went to Savers to scout and purchase items four our up and coming project. Before we went shopping, the store manager gave us a very informative tour and presentation about the company. I learned a lot of information such as how they get the clothing, how the determine the price, and where their unsold goods go. After that, each group had the freedom to spend $150 on items in the store. My group and I found lots of things for our dark and gothic themed collection. We found things like black lace, mesh, black beaded jewelry, and antique dolls. Savers is a great company because their goal is to keep as much clothing out of landfills as possible. This is important because the fashion industry is 2nd most polluting industry. Not only are they environmentally friendly, but they are partnered with a non profit organization dedicated to integrating disabled people into society. This is great because disabled individuals face a lot of discrimination in the work place and life in general. The non profit insures that they can find a job and navigate through life a little easier.
