We Do NOT Support Fast Fashion
April is a special month for us at Meadow Collective for a lot of reasons. But the main two are Earth Day and Fashion Revolution. As a boutique that sources sustainable fashion and gifts from sustainable brands like Spell, Indah, and Nine Lives Bazaar as well as local artisans, we’re trying to do our part to bring awareness to the horrors of the fast fashion industry.
Fashion Revolution
A lot of people often ask me why the stuff I sell is so expensive, and I get it. If you’re used to buying from fast fashion like SheIn or H&M, some of the stuff in my shop can seem outrageous. But every time someone asks me that, I tell them a little bit about the piece they just picked up.
What is Fashion Revolution?
On April 24, 2013, the Rana Plaza building collapsed in Dhaka, Bangladesh, killing 1,138 people and injuring more than 2,500. The Rana Plaza building housed five garment factories that made clothes for some of the largest, most well-known global fashion brands.
