What is Second Hand September?

Second Hand September is a global initiative encouraging people to shop second-hand to combat the environmental impact of fast fashion. Since 2019, it has inspired thousands to reduce waste, reuse, and restyle sustainably.

My Sister’s Closet (MSC) is eco-thrift boutique dedicated to fashion for social change. By shopping and donating with MSC, you’re actively reducing waste, taking a stand against climate change, and supporting a fairer world. Every purchase helps fight the climate crisis and supports survivors of violence.

We invite you to join us!

About My Sister’s Closet

My Sister’s Closet is a social enterprise of Battered Women’s Support Services (BWSS), where 100% of proceeds fund supporting survivors of gender-based violence.

Since 2001, MSC has been central in providing advocacy, education, and essential support to women facing violence. As an eco-thrift boutique, MSC combines sustainability with a commitment to ethical consumption, using fashion to challenge environmental degradation and exploitative industry practices.

Supporting MSC during Second Hand September means directly funding services for women impacted by violence, while also making a conscious choice to reduce fashion waste and fight climate change. Every purchase reduces waste, supports survivors, and contributes to our broader goal of ending violence against women.
