Aisling Bea is showcasing ethical fashion brands on Instagram in retaliation to Black Friday sales
AISLING BEA IS not here for the hysteria surrounding Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
It’s not hard to see why.
The comedian is known for her ethical take on clothing.
That’s why, she’s started using her Instagram to recommend eco-friendly fashion and products, from now until Christmas. The hope is that her followers will think twice before they log on for fast bargains, and instead give their business to companies producing clothing and beauty products ethically, or recycling perfectly good garments second-hand.
On Friday she posted saying she hates Black Friday, and was about to do something about it.
In retaliation, she explained that she’s going to post about a socially conscious places to buy eco-fashion and products, or from businesses that help as they produce.
Her first recommendation was Oxfam, which she illustrated by posting an outfit she got from one of their shops.

“I buy so much stuff from charity shops. There seems to be some sort of snobbery sometimes around it but look at my cute skirt & red jacket! Let’s use the clothes that are already in existence & help out charities & your pocket”, she wrote.
Day two was an online producer, Kalamargam.

Day three was One Scoop Store, a second hand online shop.
