Sustainable fashion

Burgas has plenty of options for second-hand clothing, tech, and furniture, giving us the chance to pass on items that are still in good condition but no longer needed. This helps prevent the unnecessary waste of materials that would otherwise be used to make new products.

One of the biggest second-hand clothing stores, Zig Zag, is located within the before mentioned Krasnodar Market, which is a 5 minute walk from the city center.

Some of the biggest second-hand clothing stores in Burgas include:

• Zig Zag
• Pimpo
• Humana
• Mania

Here is a map of some of these stores: https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=1YNrKlgbfXFOxdHI6tBVEymCbTZtrsDw&usp=sharing

In addition to these, there are many smaller shops that sell second-hand furniture and white appliences, like washing machines and dishwashers that have been repaired and are as good as new.

Burgas also has clothing bins for people who want to donate items they no longer use. These bins are part of a national campaign run by TEXLIFE in partnership with the Bulgarian Red Cross. The goal is to make textile recycling easier and more efficient, following a model already established in Western Europe.
