Can festival fashion be eco-friendly?
Jess confesses she has not always been sustainable. During her first Glastonbury in 2014 she bought everything new she used to be an "retail addict". That's where she met her now husband and business partner Davey, and they are now "on a journey to sustainability together".
In her spare time, Jess goes around Cardiff picking up bags of clothes that are left on the side of the road, which she sifts through and gives a new lease of life.She plans to put the clothes found on the streets of Cardiff on display at Glastonbury with the idea that "they are free again and their destiny has been changed because they are going to get another life, and that clothes can live on for so long if you let them".
"But then, if I was looking for something specific, like I wanted like a mesh top to wear under an outfit so I went on Vinted, looking for stuff specifically."Rather than buying it new, I knew that I got it cheaper. I was also reducing my impact on the environment by buying it.
Rachel Cosgrove-Pearce, the head of retail operations for Oxfam, said shopping second-hand was a great way to express individuality.
