Over the past 30 years, it feels like finding well-fitting, non-designer clothes made from natural fibers for petite people (size 0 and under) has gone from tricky to almost impossible. Polyester and elastane dominate fast fashion now, and while itā€™s bad for the environment, I think it also kills competition for designer brands to actually innovate and do better. Itā€™s like they know they donā€™t have to try as hard because thereā€™s nothing else out there. Even within designer fashion, the quality has dropped so much. Chanel bags are a perfect example. In 2019, the Medium Classic Flap was $5,800. Now? Itā€™s $10,200 in 2024ā€”thatā€™s a 76% jump in just five years for the same bag, and the quality hasnā€™t gotten better. If anything, itā€™s worse. Even Moncler has stopped using fur in their jackets, which used to be such a defining part of their brand.

Itā€™s frustrating to watch fashion become more about mass production and cutting corners than real craftsmanship. The clothes are more wasteful and less thoughtful than everā€”whether itā€™s fast fashion or the so-called luxury brands.

I agree w all of this and am saddened by the amount of waste. Have you seen the Atacama desert clothing patch?
