WARNING: Unpopular opinion incoming.
I realize it's like, super trendy right now to bash Shein, but folks... Unless you have an affordable alternative that doesn't do all the things you vilify Shein for doing, stop coming at people who are just trying to buy pants.
Sweatshop labor, child labor, slave labor, toxic chemicals, manufacturing waste, etc? Guess what, you just described every single major retailer accessible to most of us.
@LAHolloway That's why I thrift 95% of my clothes. Gotta do what you gotta do.
@LAHolloway I get it. What else are you supposed to do, wear rags? (That were also probably sourced from sweatshops?)
@tyote Exactly.
Like, even if I buy the fabric and make the clothes myself (which I've done), the fabric comes from the same place as the clothes, and is made by the same people.
If only everyone would just grow and process a field of cotton or sheep's wool, then meticulously weave every article of clothing...
😝
@tyote bwahahaha right!?🤣
@tyote I do a lot of thrifting too, but pants are the one thing I have to buy new and online. I just cannot find them in my size, ever, not even in Walmart.
