It was pretty hilarious to run into you at Sydney Int’l Airport whilst I reorganised my bags, struggled to close my suitcase and thought about you enjoying the lightness of travelling with 10 items only… After a recent 5 day trip travelling light to Beijing, I can’t wait to ‘wear less clothing’ on my next journey out of Shanghai. Thank you!

Actually er shou clothing is getting more and more popular in Beijing. There are three second hand vintage clothing stores on gulou right near my house. Andy’s jumpers are testament to this But you are right I havent seen any clothing bins anywhere. There is a massive market where you can buy second hand clothes by the tonne that my other friends know about. A lot of the vintage stuff comes from Japan and Korea or from else where around the world. hopefully this trend is on the up!

This is really cool, Emily. You’re an inspiration! It would be interesting to hear more about second-hand clothing in China. In the whole time I lived there I only ever found one vintage clothing store – up a back alley in Kunming. I wonder what the average Beijingren does with their old clothes? I don’t ever remember seeing charity bins anywhere. Hope you have a lovely refreshing break in Australia! x

This is a great idea. It is more difficult for women I think to get away with wearing the same stuff over and over – whereas with guys, people just tend to laugh at you and then get over it. So – I applaud your efforts!

Thanks Bonnie. Im just starting to realise how much easier it is to ‘go light’. You have more room, less hassle and so much easier to get dressed!

Go for it! And hopefully you will inspire others to ‘go light’ as well. And congratulations on your engagement!
