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 it’s bad for the environment, I think it also kills competition for designer brands to actually innovate and do better. It’s like they know they don’t have to try as hard because there’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? It’s $10,200 in 2024—that’s a 76% jump in just five years for the same bag, and the quality hasn’t gotten better. If anything, it’s worse. Even Moncler has stopped using fur in their jackets, which used to be such a defining part of their brand. 7 replies
