People who bash second hands stores probably rarely or have never been to one.   There are all kinds of advantages to second hand stores.  First being the stuff you will buy there is often close to new (or even new) and higher quality than the child labor stuff you would buy at Walmart or Target.   Second, second hand stores are often connected to charities or if they aren't they are often local businesses which puts money back into your community.  And at least even if the clothes are made my child labors(which so many clothes are) you are not directly supporting that.
