here's hoping governments will stop fast fashion at the source too!

clothing companies need to be forced to fairly pay their workers, have decent working hours & conditions for them, and planned obsolescence for clothing (via flimsy thin fabrics etc) needs to be regulated out of existence. 🤞

Last September I needed a new pair of jeans. I was in a mall and saw the Levi's store. I remembered how long my Levi's would last in the past and figured I should put the extra money for a good pair that will last. Prices where nowhere to be seen, I tought mabe 60-80$ since I knew they where expensive. Got to the cashier and total was 130$ for a single pair of jeans!

Worst is I barely wore them and they are already full of holes! WTF !

My Levi's split right down my leg after like 2 years of wearing them mostly just in the winter.
