Explore the fascinating, complex used clothing industry in Secondhand: Travels in the New Global Garage Sale by Adam Minter. Learn what really happens to items you donate.

The rise of fast fashion combined with the decluttering trend create mounds of clothing to be disbursed around the world, often ending up in landfills. Secondhand shows us that it doesn't have to be this way.
