Customers care more about sustainability or good design?

I have been thinking about this lately.

Many brands put sustainability at the center of their messaging, but I wonder if most customers actually make their first purchase because of that, or because they simply like how the product looks.

My guess is that good design gets someone’s attention, while sustainability gives them another reason to feel confident about buying. If the product isn’t appealing, even the best sustainability story might not be enough.

For those who run a sustainable fashion brand or shop sustainably, what’s been your experience? Do your customers lead with values, or does design still come first? i like to hear perspectives.
