How much $$$ I saved with Sustainable Fashion
Sustainable fashion has this label of being too expensive. So I wanted to do a little experiment and see if it’s actually true or not.
Are we actually paying more for sustainable fashion?
To start off the exeperiment, I recently visited H&M. What I discovered actually shocked me: shapeless polyester pieces, loose threads everywhere, and surprisingly high prices for such low quality.
As I was looking for winter clothes - miss you, Portugal - It’s the perfect oportunity to give you a practical guide of how I did it.
Spoiler alert: the price differences might surprise you!
Me+Em Jumper
Eye-opener: You can get premium natural fibers that last years for less than a synthetic blend that pills after 3 washes.
2. Stella McCartney Trousers
Reality check: Designer sustainable fashion can actually cost less than high-street brands while offering superior quality.
3. Sandro Leather Jacket
Truth bomb: Second-hand designer pieces often cost less than new fast fashion while lasting 10x longer.
4. Thinking Mu Puffer Jacket
Fun fact: Sustainable innovation doesn't always mean higher prices!
The Real Value? It's simple math:
Quality pieces retain 40-60% of their value (good luck reselling fast fashion...)
Better materials mean more wears, less replacing
Thoughtful shopping prevents impulse buys
Supporting fair wages feels as good as it looks
Major style points
These were the pieces that I’ve found and saved tons on this winter.
What's holding you back from doing the same? I'd love to hear your thoughts and concerns!
