I’m a child of the 1970’s and, whilst I can’t claim to have grown up in poverty, I was brought up to understand the importance of product longevity and the avoidance of waste.
Recently I watched my football team, wearing a football shirt that I bought in 1995, and I routinely wear pre-1990 ‘high’ fashion items for doing gardening and DIY. These clothes have still got more years left in them than me.
