How we celebrate sustainable fashion & give back: highlights from our MTM 'Swap Party'. What's the Deal? We asked our team to bring gently used clothing items they no longer wear and swap it for a fresh find from our selection. It's a win-win: they get a pre-loved treasure, and we keep clothes out of landfills. Everything left over at the end of the Swap Party Week goes to charity. How It Works: 💚 It's a simple one-for-one exchange. Bring one item, take one item. 💚 Donations are key! To participate, you must donate a piece of clothing. 💚 Any unclaimed clothing at the end of the week will be donated to charity. Why Swap? ♻️ 💚 Sustainable Style: Swapping extends the life cycle of clothes, reducing waste. 💚 Free Refresh: Update your wardrobe with unique finds without spending a penny! 💚 Give Back: Support a good cause and donate unwanted clothes to charity.

In this week's Friday musings, we have some MTM data we would like to talk about. #letschangethegame Last week, TheGamer.com (TheGamer).com (TheGamer) posted an article suggesting that increasing the level of #diversity and #representation in video games is set to face backlash from gamers, unhappy with games becoming ‘woke’. Our data suggests otherwise, and that for the vast majority of #gamers, this isn’t the case and moves towards improving greater diversity of characters and new or unique narratives across the industry is widely embraced.  🎮 70% say that more diversity of characters would attract more people to play games.  🎮 Risk to developers is low, with only 11% of gamers disagreeing that having diversity in games is important.  🎮 There’s still a big challenge with 36% of people saying that they don’t feel like their personal identity is being fully represented by protagonists in video games.  🎮 But it’s important to get it right, with 54% of gamers saying that ‘getting representation wrong in games is worse than not doing it at all’. It’s vital that including representation is authentic and not based on stereotyping or misconceptions.  🎮 We have already seen that where there has been effective representation in video games, there has a highly positive impact for developers. 75% of gamers claim to have taken positive action after seeing good examples of diverse character representation. This includes playing the game more, discuss it with their friends and family or look out for the next game in the franchise/series.
