Ethical Choices: Oil, Books, Food, Coffee, Banking, Shopping - Vote With Your Money

"Just over a year ago, I decided to stop buying fast fashion.

This decision stemmed from an unnerving experience opening a parcel from Urban Outfitters, wherein I found a hair — a human hair to be precise — on my (made in Bangladesh) denim skirt. The idea that this hair belonged to a factory worker, most probably underage, most definitely underpaid, was enough to make me pack up the skirt and send it back.

Since then, I have shopped exclusively from ethical and sustainable local, independent designers and transparent brands, as well as vintage and thrift shops. As a fashion school graduate and someone who works in the fashion industry, this proved to be a challenge in the beginning.

Where was I supposed to find something new, in good condition, hip, not-too-trendy, and that conveyed my personal style?"
