I get the objection when it's basically fraud if it were to be sold - the shirt isn't name brand but would be sold as. The problem I have is when all of the product is made of that brand and they throw a fit - like someone taking a Burberry purse and turning it into a wallet. The latter should theoretically fall under Fair Use, if it were even an option in fashion like it is in media

I’m curious - tell me the worst India manufacturing story you ever heard? I'll share mine!

Luxury items are for poor people. Look at how billionaires dress… they don’t wear labels. They have to keep it exclusive for people too poor to afford their goods. It’s brand protection yes but it’s going to hurt their image in the long run. Who is running these companies? They are doing a terrible job. I’m looking at you Doir.

How do you feel about upcycling luxury fashion?

Buy 2nd hand clothes, save batting scraps to use on crafts and quilts. Go thru old clothing, cotton, for quilts.

That woman behind you is really confused why you are filming with her in the background. Are you in a sweatshop?

They also did this during WW II in England due to all the rationing.

wow. industries today would never adjust their packaging to be more useful to the consumer

O my goodness I have a potato sack blanket from my grandma ❤❤ love this piece of history

When I buy stuff with really cute packaging, I always keep the packaging and use it for my scrapbooking instead of throwing it away.

Glass jars for everything! To store sewing items, food leftovers, homemade salsa, iced coffee etc. Cut up shirts are great for cleaning around the house or reusanle toilet paper. Old toothbrushes become little scrubbers for jewelry, laundry or around the house. Pruned branches get dried out to make natural indoor plant poles. Plastic lids become coasters, lids or put under oant pots. Its endless what we can reuse or upcyle! 😊🎉

Wore flour sack dresses - my mom was an amazing seamstress.

If you have cotton scraps that you don't really know how to use...buy some beeswax and make your own beeswax wraps :)

I started a scrap quilt. Litterly layers of scrap leftovers from other projects (mine, MIL, mom, and some from estate sales) I have got two layers done. Was going for a winter but might make it two summer quilts instead.

I wear the same like 6 shirts and 8 pants. (And a sports uniform and a bunch of costumes) if I’m not wearing one of those I’ve been kidnapped and replaced with a clone

I don't have regular cups. It is all reused bottles and jars- bonus it makes them transportable, just throw on a lid. I also have no issue if they walk away. I really love knee high socks and when they wear out, I cut off the bottom to make arm warmers.

One last thing… I want to challenge you. What can you reuse in your home right now?

THANK YOU FOR THIS VERY VALUABLE PIECE OF ADVICE

Do you want to know other sneaky ways brands are cutting costs on the products you buy?

you have to be shitting me. i just absolutely can't believe the stuff i see people use as cleaning rags in my country because these are originally from where i'm from, be store clothing for you guys WE HAVE COME FULL CIRCLE OMG

Are you the owner of this factory and company?

I worked at a fish processing plant, and they do the same thing with the packages that come out of the factory. Never know when a screw falls off and ends up in a bag of fish.

That’s so interesting 😮 I never realized that was a problem manufacturers had to look out for

Have you ever found a needle in your clothes?

Confused on the other types of suppliers and when they judge ....i end up giving a subtle rbf and ask fellow fashion student classmates 😅

Screen printing is largely hand done though, the ones done with screen printing shouldn’t be a big issue..

And people will become more mindful consumers 🎉

GAUCHE

Do you feel it’s unfair to pay for returns as a customer? Or are you happy to do it as part of a bigger environmental mission?

Have you ever seen this apparel manufacturing technique before?

Totally!!

Definitely!

Polyester made my foot neuropathy worse. I never listened to the hype, just my body.

Want more tips on how to find a better manufacturer for a clothing brand?

Yes! 'Satin' is all 100% plastic these days.

Are we not looking at tags?

Or just iron the material and smell.

You can also just hold it above the flame 😊 The heat will melt the material and you can actually see it happen. No need to actually set it on fire so it’s safer for your hands 🔥.

Can’t you tell just by the smell? The smell of silk is incredibly strong and unique.

The things is threads and yarn has the same name in Indonesia,we called it “benang”

Same thing with the 100% cotton claims 😂 everyone thinks they love cotton, when in reality must people don't even know what real cotton feels like! Spoiler: it's not soft, stretchy or flexible, also very hard to dye 😂

Is there any way i can test the clothes before buying them? At times when i shop they write 100% cotton but i think it is because no one usually questions about the quality that is why they are able to continue to do this. I just want to verify if the price i am paying is actually going to quality product rather than being scammed.

Yes.
