The Reaction We Hear at Almost Every Pop Up Stall

What are good prescription glasses brands these days that offer lots of style options without being a total rip off?
I remember looking into this years ago and hearing how companies like luxottica basically own every big brand and just slap insane prices on them. So I looking for independent brands that make quality glasses at a reasonable price. Moscot is recommended a lot but they're even more expensive than luxottica owned brands and companies like zennie just seem like cheap crap you'd find at a servo. Brands like warby parker and gentle monster are popular for trendy styles without paying insane designer markups. Some other brands also gaining traction. They’ve got a huge variety of frames and people seem pretty happy with the prices (I am leaning towards this actually).
What do you guys recommend? Do I have to fork out hundreds for quality glasses or are there some hidden gems out there that offer style, quality and affordability?

Does anyone else feel like Indian fashion brands are selling polyester as premium and just... not telling you?
So I have been thinking about this for a while and wanted to get some honest opinions from people who actually pay attention to what their clothes are made of.
Something I keep noticing is that a lot of brands, especially Indian D2C ones but honestly globally too, market themselves as considered or premium but are still using polyester and synthetic blends. The photography is beautiful, the pricing signals quality, but the label tells a completely different story. And most consumers never find out until it is already in their hands.
I looked into it and 59% of all clothing made globally is still synthetic. Which feels like a massive problem that the fashion industry is very quietly not talking about.
A few things I wanted to ask this community specifically because I feel like you would have real opinions on this:
When you are shopping, especially online, how do you actually verify what something is made of before buying? Do you trust brand claims or do you have a way of checking?
Have you found any brands, at any price point, that are genuinely transparent about fabric composition and sourcing in a way that feels real rather than just marketing?
Do you think most consumers outside of sustainability communities actually care about this or is it still quite niche? Asking because I am trying to understand how big this problem really is beyond people who are already paying attention.
And if a brand gave you complete transparency, not just sustainability claims but literally the name of the person who made your piece, the exact fabric cost, where it came from would that change how much you were willing to pay for something?
Genuinely curious because I feel like the conversation around sustainable fashion focuses a lot on environmental impact but less on the basic consumer deception angle. Would love to hear what people actually think

Sustainable underwear
For years I’ve exclusively been buying second hand, but it is now time to buy some new underwear.
I find it very hard to find out if brands are sustainable and fair.
Do any of you have recommendations on where to buy underwear?

Cotton active year
Is there any demand for polyester-free activewear for light activities?
I’m curious if anyone else feels this way.
Most activewear brands seem to use polyester or nylon, but I personally find synthetic fabrics uncomfortable and would prefer something made from natural fibers like Tencel, bamboo, hemp, or organic cotton.
I’m not talking about high-intensity running or CrossFit, but more for:
Walking
Yoga
Pilates
Strength training
Everyday athleisure
Would you consider buying leggings, sports bras, or matching sets that are soft, breathable, and mostly or completely polyester-free, even if they cost a bit more?
Or do you think performance and moisture-wicking matter more than avoiding polyester?
Would love to hear your thoughts and whether this is something you’d actually spend money on.

The Question We Get Asked Most Often: "Wait... This Is Made From a Banana Tree?"

Do men care for natural fabrics?
I know women do, at least some!!
But what about men or their husbands? Are we telling our husbands to dress in natural fabrics too.
I recently launched men’s shirts, but got no response, could it be because men don’t care anyway?

Light, Soft, and Sexy Spring/Summer Robe
I aim to thrift most of my clothes, but more intimate items I prefer new. Any brand or company recommendations for house robes that are light (for spring and summer), land nicely on the body (not stiff like most cotton), and are--dare I say-- sexy? I'm basically looking for something similar to the mainstream that we see and know aren't ethically produced nor sustainably sourced. Thank you in advance.
