Why Oxfam Ireland Second Hand September?

Millions of clothing items end up in landfills across Ireland every year. These textiles are decomposing in the ground, destroying our environment.

Immense pressure is being placed on our planet and people in communities most affected by the climate crisis, but you can take action!

Join us this September and dress for the world you want- a fairer world for those affected by the climate crisis, and a better world for us all.

Let's fight the climate crisis in style! 

The right thing for you and the planet

We have 48 shops across the island of Ireland.

We are always on the lookout for high-quality, pre-loved clothes, accessories, handbags and shoes. If your items are clean and reusable, we'd be delighted to recirculate them and contribute to a more circular economy.

If you thought nothing could feel better than a new outfit, how about knowing that by shopping with us you have;

  • Freshened up your wardrobe
  • Helped protect our planet
  • Supported people to beat poverty worldwide.

Oxfam Ireland is a member of Charity Retail Ireland so our shops contributed to the 17,300 tonnes of textiles diverted away from landfill or waste to energy in 2022.

"Throughout the wedding planning process, I was keen to make it as sustainable as possible. I loved the experience of Oxfam Bridal and was really proud to tell everyone where the dress was from." - Holly Furlong - Oxfam Bridal customer
