We don’t pay ENOUGH for our clothes and if we want ethical production we have to expect to start paying more and buying less. Like, across the board. Or, shopping secondhand.
(1/6) “I’ll wait until I have nicer stuff to digitize my closet / hire a stylist on Indyx” Let me tell you why this is actually the worst choice you can make 👉
there's a joke on here that goes something like this:
"i asked him how much it would cost to make this today. i will never forget his answer. 'we can't, we don't know how to do it anymore.'"
I unironically think this is true of pants 🧵
just a friendly reminder that if you want small, independent businesses to survive, you have to shop there once in a while. you can't just backsource everything you find there and try to find a cheaper price online. or if you do, don't performatively lament when they shutter.
@DLVermeer@OgLakyn Aw, if it was me who inspired it, I am truly honored! In full transparency I have gone a little over the strict 12 (already planning my year-end recap, lol) but it has overall really helped with intentionality.
