Unfortunately that’s how sustainability works. It’s hard to offer cheap clothes on a smaller scale. The economics just doesn’t make sense. And true sustainability would be one off custom made garments tailored to the individual like how clothing used to be before mass production existed. That was why only the wealthy could afford to have nice fabrics and details. The working poor often had to make their own clothing. And even the rich back then didn’t have that many pieces of clothing. I rely mostly on thrifting and sewing. Though occasionally I splurge on an indie designer.
Who really makes the money, not the woman who makes the clothes.. if you go to India you can see how much they really make… the labor is very cheap there… and the clothes from all these sustainable brands are charging a lot of money for the clothes…
Yes what you say is true. But being in India I can see things are changing gradually. Sustainability is taking over every part here slowly. There are many sustainable organic brands in India that follow ethical labours standard. And I agree with you on the higher side of pricing few brands they fail on that while affordable one fail on the marketing side and never known even within India. But I am in the process of making one very much affordable. Soon to be launched. ☺😇 Lot of young people like me here are on the path to make this planet more beautiful and peaceful. 💚
Another great brand is Kowtow, based in Wellington, NZ 😊 Everything is made of organic cotton, and they have just recently gone 100% plastic free not only in their clothes but in their stores, from swing tags to coathangers to packaging materials
I watched your video, reached out to Saheli, and now I'll be doing a long-term immersion with them! Thank you so much for uploading this! Please continue to share and highlight your finds for a better future, a better world!
Thank you for spotlighting all these incredible labels! Love NARY. We work with a lot of emerging/indie designers from around South-East Asia and the UK, smaller businesses are really doing so much from the ground up. They need more visibility!
