Labor Day Weekend Sales at Our Favorite Sustainable Brands
Sustainable Brands Labor Day Sales
In the world of sustainable fashion, the common complaint is that most sustainable brands are not budget-friendly. It's true that the price tags of sustainable fashion items can be surprising, especially when compared to the low-cost alternatives we are used to. Unfortunately, the reason behind this stark contrast lies in the exploitation of garment workers and the pervasive use of petroleum-based fabrics in the fashion industry. Today, the value of the fashion industry seems to be centered around the sheer quantity of cheap clothing pieces that brands can sell, or that consumers can purchase, rather than the quality and ethics behind each garment. Shockingly, it's estimated that the average woman buys over 50 pieces of clothing each year, with the majority of these being fast fashion items. These cheaply made garments often end up being worn fewer than 10 times before being discarded or donated due to their poor quality or fleeting trendiness. It's essential to remember that fashion can coexist responsibly with our planet and its people. We encourage everyone to cherish what they have, consider secondhand options, and support sustainable brands when possible. So, if you were planning to splurge on multiple fast fashion items this weekend, why not reconsider and opt for quality over quantity? Take advantage of these weekend sales to support brands that are striving to make the fashion industry a better, more sustainable place for all.
