Am I financialy enabling child labor in 3rd world country by buying second hand fast fashion from Thrift shop and Vinted? Because I am not the one who originally bought the clothes from Shein. But buy buying it again from someone else I still use it uhhuhh this is complicated.
I’m extremely enthusiastic about used stuff.
Folks who buy new products will buy them anyway, and it’ll either end up in a landfill or used by someone else. Mind as well use it.
And, think of the opportunity cost. Your fast fashion presumably replaces “budget” new clothes you’d buy instead, which shrinks sweatshop market demand as a whole.
Also:
If you’re feeling guilty about skipping “sustainable” brands, a lot of those are cons anyway. Some are fine, but there’s a good chance you’d just make some lying jerk richer.
For heavens sake, if you like fast fashion, enjoy your passion.
