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.

It’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 ever—whether it’s fast fashion or the so-called luxury brands.

Is it fashion or is it capitalism?

As for quality, gurl; the big brands need to spend more money on branding to justified their high prices. On the other spectrum Temu spends a billion dollars on facebook and instagram ads and drives up ads for everyone else! Making PPC for discovery useless for small and medium guys, hence the case for more web3 native brands. Petite can be a market just build a community of petite consumers to buy into the idea that can start as subscription model for first 12-24 Months for the core community that can support the birth of a new web3 brand 👌🏽

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