@Blaze@tiramichu yes because we pay people a living wage and don’t run sweat shops for children. Unfortunately, too many people cannot afford these clothes here either, so they also buy from the sweat shop slaves who they cannot see.
@Blaze@tiramichu My mother used to be a regional fashion designer. She taught me about fabrics etc. If I look at the #fashion in stores now, its designed for the dump. Thin material & bad stitching. And the collection changes every week. I seriously know people that just buy new t-shirts rather than washing them. Because they are so cheap. Nothing about #cheap is good.
I would rather buy quality items less often and pay more and wear them until they are truly done
Definitely, but everytime clothing made in Europe is posted here, the top comments are usually about how expensive they are
True, but there’s an easy solution:
Don’t buy new clothes.
You probably already have more than enough.
Or buy used clothes at thrift stores
Clothes stay good for a good while if not abused, buying second hand is a fantastic way of reducing waste
I’m part of a clothes sharing group, and the amount of never-worn or like-new high quality clothing people just give away for free is incredible.
They are more expensive but at least don’t have sweat of children and lead on them.
