I try to purchase things that can truly sustain through the years. But nowadays, it feels almost impossible to find a bag, a pair of shoes, or even clothes that can be your companion for at least five or six years; everything is made to be temporary. (90% of my wardrobe is thrifted/secondhand clothing bc it lasts longer.)
Whether it’s shopping online or in stores, it’s all the same cycle. People buy things to fit into the aesthetic (to match an outfit for the night) to perform a sense of taste. But I don’t think that’s what tasteful really means.
This isn’t just about personal preference anymore. We’re taught to value novelty over longevity, trends over timelessness. (I hate trends) Products are designed to fall apart or fall out of fashion, just so the cycle of consumption keeps spinning.
I don't think we are aging gracefully.
I want to start a business with a meaningful purpose. Where can i buy more thrift stuff in Dhaka and work towards the cause.
