Finding the balance between quality and price is innovative. It is extremely difficult. But in the end it means more people across the globe get more and better quality clothes.

You can always go pay for higher end clothing. Nothing stops you expect... price. Lol




I definitely think that there's truth in that. Particularly, as you mention, for people who otherwise wouldn't have access to the product at all.

I think my frustration is that I've found that the price to get clothing made out of higher end/traditional materials is often much dramatically higher than even the difference in material costs account for. For example, I would not only have to pay for the more expensive materials, I would also have to pay to get the clothing custom made. Even finding the materials can be difficult since textile manufacturers often call cheaper alternatives by the same name (e.g. "linen" that isn't made out of flax or "wool" that is really a wool blend).
