THANK YOU!
I am getting soo tired of this Primark BS!
My friend was going on today about how she bought a pair of jeans for £4! WTF! I have over 25 pairs, and my 'cheapest' will be couple of £40 ones from Topshop and Cheap Monday, everything else is premium denim (i'm 5'10 and a size 24/25 its hard to find good ones that fit right).
No, I am not advocating fashion snoberry, and though I can afford to buy nice things, I think you should buy things you like... That fit your style, whether its from Chloe or Zara, as opposed to poser losers who buy things that scream logo! .
BUT.
PRIMARK (and all the others asda/tesco etc) is a joke. I cannot see how it is ethically possible for anyone to sell jeans for £4! Apart from all the obvious bad quality reasons, how much exactly do you think the people who make these clothes get paid?
Poor children in third world countries working their *** off so you can buy disposable 'bargain' fashion... Buy quality timeless pieces, if you want 'disposable' go to H&M for gods sake.
Some might argue that even the biggest brands still run sweat shops... Yes, a lot of them do (I wrote a long *** research paper on this), but at least they get paid even if it's just a bit more than the pennies Primark workers do.
Even the shop floor people look miserable.
SAD!!!
