Love hearing that! Smaller sustainable brands like Zero Waste Daniel (NYC based) I think is a good place to start, a bigger brands that offers sustainable options I would say look at Patagonia. Definitely shopping second hand / thrifting I think is also a great resource! Stay tuned for some other videos on what places to shop at ;)

Good on you to consider the workers👍. Now the local subsidiaries of most big labels in Asia and the Middle East pay their workers as little as they can get away with already, it is actually why many of them choose these locations. And you're right, the workers generally have nowhere else to go, or they would not work knowing, for example, that any fire would most likely burn them alive (as happens on occasion due to lax building codes/supervision). But this means that we have to force the big labels on top to commit to and uphold some standards, which can be done by deciding against buying their stuff for humanitarian and environmental reasons/investing in better fashion etc. Not all prices are on the price-tag.

From what I've learned, yes sometimes garment workers really only have this as their only job opportunity and they have to take it to support their family. However I think as consumers, we have to put the pressure on brands. People at the top of these companies are benefiting / making all the money, while the workers are still suffering or barely making minimum wage.

I think it goes back to how the current fashion system is set up with a capitalist mindset, where you're always trying to out-do your competitors. I wonder what the fashion world would look like if it was more of an open source approach, where people can share their most sustainable manufacturers and solutions with each other. I think slowing down and sharing solutions is the alternative approach to the fashion system!
