hello! i’m new here so apologies if this was asked before. a burning question of mine:
considering that the apparel industry has virtually always existed in an exploitative state and thus we’re so used to low priced clothing, how much do you think 100% responsibly made clothes should actually cost? to simplify things a bit, let’s say a 100% cotton t-shirt.
responsibly made =
+accountable supply chain +fair livable wages for farmers and factory workers +good labor conditions and workers rights +avoids pesticides and genetically modified seeds +renewable energy used to manufacture +avoids harsh dyestuffs +avoids silicone or chemical finishings +responsible water and discharge treatment +carbon offset for shipping +holds up through a reasonably significant number of wears +consumer access to post use recycling or upcycling
...did I miss anything?
would love to hear everyone’s thoughts!
