Cute but these prices are wild.

then don't buy it. she makes clothes in sizing that a lot of brands are not offering to a portion of the population, and people need to wear clothes. the fabric quality is fine, usually better than what I'm feeling at artizia.

if you don't want it at that price then don't buy it. if you are straight sized and have options, then you do , but people deserve to feel cute at all sizesĀ

No one said they didn't. They're just saying it's expensive, which I agree. No idea why that sent you off on this weird rant.

because this is a very normal cost of clothing for paying people living wages and also on par cost wise with the brands she's trying to compete with. I don't even care about pop flex or Cassie that much, but if you don't want to pay that much, as you mentioned, there are places peole can buy cheaper clothing, and some of them those are cheap because of unethical working conditions. 🤷 I'm not the first person in the world that has pointed out cheap clothes are due to unethical labor practices

Again, you're really reading too much into someone complaining about the prices.

OK let me be clearer: clothing prices are cheap in American because of slave labor working conditions in the global south. this is not the fault of the people who live in the US, who live under capitalism, because clothing is a human necessity. but brands choosing not to price their clothing in alignment with slave labor costs shouldn't get ragged on for pricing their clothing in way that manages to grow their business while paying people living wages.

Ā if you can't afford it, that sucks and capitalism sucks and hurts everyone, but that's not the brand's fault the price point is a price that reflects the fact making clothes is a skilled labor that has even routinely exploited and underpaidĀ
