Hey! Do you have some recommendations for organic cotton underwear and other clothes? That could be delivered to Czech Republic. And it is really 100% or almost that amount.
Thank you
So, I know fast fashion is really bad, and I don't buy off of things like shein, Temu, romwe, ect but is or okay to go on fast fashion website to look for diy inspo? I'm alternative and sometimes Pinterest doesn't do it for me.
I’m dying for new cute sweaters that are comfy and not made of plastic!! Where do yall find them???
Conventional thinking would drive us towards thinking that cheaper and trendy, the better, when it comes to choosing our clothing. But do we look into how the clothes are made, under what circumstances, the makers' livelihoods, and the supply chain?
There have been tons of complaints about South East Asian countries' people being exploited for making cheap clothes. Those clothes address the trends, but they also affect the livelihoods of people who take the time to make the clothes in a traditional way, and not using automation and machines.
India have always led the world with its Charka movement on making handmade fabrics. Mahatma Gandhi led the hand loom movement which not only ensured that the livelihoods of the many families involved in the supply chain are protected, but also that the environment is protected and sustainability ensured.
Today, more than ever, the concept of hand loom sounds important, in the age of climate change, energy conservation, and sustaining livelihoods.
As an inspiration for women who are into choosing careers and entrepreneurship in the hand loom industry, we talk to Sharada Ganesh in this podcast: https://youtu.be/hIJSauJcWKs
Hand loom continues to inspire the youth. Get involved in the process if you could!

My latest “thrift” obsession is Vinted. It’s an online selling platform like Mercari, Depop, Poshmark, etc but things are crazy cheap because there’s no seller fees! And shipping is cheap too.
If you use a referral code, you can get $20 in coupons when you list your first 3 items and another $30 when you sell an item too. Here’s my code! https://www.vinted.com/invite/emilyf880/TXBuveqrYoEW21s0whpwroups6lfjvn9o
We hear a lot about the environmental and social problems associated with fast fashion, but it’s still a big part of how many people shop.
I’ve been thinking about why it can be so difficult to move away from it. Is it mainly because of affordability, trends, convenience, social media, or simply because better alternatives aren’t always accessible?
What do you think keeps people coming back to fast fashion?
