I get the shipping fees for reducing waste, but — if companies produce poor quality products, misrepresent items on their website, or dont provide good sizing guides, then the consumer gets a bad deal. In the past I’d try things on at the store to get a good feel for the item’s fit and quality. Online ordering is still a gamble for the consumer.

Other problem is if the company sends the consumer the wrong size. That’s what happened to me.

We can all wear oversized cotton tee shirts and baggy trousers without coming up with a new fashion to sell it. I’ve been doing it for decades. This is a sales pitch to get rich again.

If multiples are bought in different sizes, it could be for an event where the wearers need to look like it’s uniform.
A good sizing/measuring guide on the website can be useful.

Fantastic! Diarra, I was deeply moved by your inspirational and transformative story. Humans have become so disconnected from the earth and it’s imperative that we work to transform our relationship with our planet by developing more sustainable practices like the work you are doing. Furthermore, your business model provides a powerful wholistic example that empowers consumers, as well as, local artisans from your country. Thank you for using your “wake up call” after your life threatening accident and your talent & gifts to contribute to changing a neglectful, wasteful and apathetic narrative to one that is conscientious, responsible and compassionate. I see you! Wishing you and all the players in your process, abundance and prosperity. Thank you for sharing your voice with the world!🙏🏽🫶🏾👏🏿🙌🏼💪🏿🙏🏾

I walked to the charity shop and bought three shirts for the same price as one of the cheapest pieces of retail fast fashion.
I dont unecessarily buy clothing, I needed smaller clothing.
Interesting story nontheless of your textile skills. 🙂

But photographing your top gardments in the Maldives is a hugely wasteful exercise. The Maldives has a lot of pollution due to tourism, so you just added to the problem.

Tailor made shirts and shoes are seen expensive however for example for the same price i can get good fitting tailor made Italian shirt as Ralph Lauren’s Chinese made mass produced mediocre fitting shirt, please dont pay extra for useless logo.
