Do you think affordable luxury clothing is worth it?

I keep seeing brands describe themselves as affordable luxury and I never know how seriously to take it. Sometimes it feels like you’re paying for better fabrics and cuts and other times it feels like nice photos and branding. I’m trying to be more intentional with shopping and figure out how people judge value with clothing. What actually makes a piece worth paying a bit more for in your opinion as in fabric, fit, cost per wear or something else?

Art Knit Studios - positive discovery

I was a big fan of COS for a while, I liked their fabrics and cuts but the quality has gone downhill.

I was doing an intense research of a sustainable brand to replace COS and I came across Art Knit Studios. I just bought a few of their linen pieces and I am positively surprised of quality, transparency and price. They also have archive sale on their website. Maybe someone can enjoy that brand as well, if they were looking for something new and fair

I'm building a sustainable fashion startup from scratch, and I'm looking for a few people who want to build with me

Hi everyone,

Over the past year, I've been working on something that's become much bigger than just an idea.

I'm building an early-stage sustainable womenswear venture based in North India. The goal isn't to create "another clothing brand." I'm trying to build garments that women genuinely reach for over and over again, like pieces that are functional, timeless, and consciously made.

For months, I've been researching fabrics, circular fashion, garment functionality, and how women actually use their wardrobes. I'm now entering the most exciting (and honestly, the most challenging) phase, which is turning all of that research into our very first collection.

I've spent the last few weeks reaching out to universities, fashion schools, and communities to find people who genuinely wanted to build alongside me. I met some wonderful people, but I also realised that the right collaborator isn't necessarily sitting inside a classroom.

So I'm trying something different. I am looking for someone interested in women's fashion, curious about circular fashion. And someone who is actually passionate about building a brand from zero.

If you're someone who enjoys garment development, fashion design, textiles, sustainable fashion, product thinking or you're simply obsessed with creating meaningful products, I would genuinely love to connect.

I'm not promising a glamorous startup experience.

You'll probably see the messy side of entrepreneurship more than the polished side.

But you'll have the opportunity to contribute to real decisions, real products, and the journey of building something from day one.

If this resonates with you, leave a comment or send me a DM. I'd much rather have a conversation.

Even if you're not the right person but know someone who might be, I'd really appreciate a tag or a share.

Thank you for reading!

[P.S. If you're reading this six months from now, feel free to reach out anyway. I'm hoping to build a community of people who care about thoughtful fashion and are willing to connect.]

Someone convince me not to cut all of my T-shirts to crop tops

It's hot and I'm suffering and I have too many t-shirts. I keep the scraps to re-use. Someone needs to come to bat for winter me when I find myself with no regular t-shirts

This is what our production floor actually looks like no machines, no conveyor belts, just this.

Natural fibre clothing suggestions

Recommend some natural fiber exercise clothing. Especially underwear.

I've always had back/butt acne since I was a teen. It seemed to clear up a fair amount after I moved from a more humid climate to a dryer one, but in the last two years I moved back to a swampy state and it has come back with a vengeance.

I've tried a lot of different hygiene methods and laundry soaps and nothing seems to work. I recently read about someone switching to cotton underwear and it reducing their butt acne.

I'm totally down for this as I have been trying to phase out plastics from my life slowly anyway, but I'm having high school flashbacks to chafed thighs and feeling like there's a wet towel in my shorts.

If anyone has some recommendations for natural fiber exercise clothes I'd love to hear it.

I've read for some people switching to cotton underwear helped with this issue.
