It’s kind of the real annoying problem when it comes to wanting to buy clothes that aren’t feeding sweatshops…
IE, you find clothes that are cheap, you immidiately know “well no way things are this cheap without labor abuses”. But then at the same time you also are aware “just because it’s expensive doesn’t mean they don’t also use the same labor abuses, just pocket bigger profit”.
Buy used is my suggestion
that is true, probably the only way that you can know at least 2 good things. 1. You aren’t encouraging any extra slavework to be done, 2. you are reducing waste (or at least increasing usage of what’s already been made).
At a glance I thought the shoes were a poorly drawn Gmail icon lol.
The fashion industry is one of the most environmentally disastrous industries that serves no real purpose.
At least with things like coal power you can understand why we are destroying the earth and killing people to keep the lights on everywhere (we shouldn’t be doing that either but that’s a different topic).
With fashion it is JUST waste. Most fashion these days is made to be worn a handful of times before it falls apart. Just needless waste with no real value.
I hate the fashion industry with a passion.
Good design isn’t cheap and in the real world, the “good shoes” just rip off the original design of the luxury ones
