Today started off like normal...
"Hello, how are you today?"
"Good."
"That's good to hear!"
*Starts scanning knit sweater and cork cutting boards.*
Then, it took a turn...
"Did you know that they make handbags out of cork now?"
"Wow, really?"
"Yes!"
"That's cool. They must be flexible because they're made out of cork."
"I'm not quite sure to be honest. I've only seen them online. I came across them from a fair trade business. I love sustainable fashion."
"I try to make sustainable choices as well. Sometimes I feel bad for buying a cheap sweater like this with all the waste that is created from fast fashion."
"Don't feel bad. I'm not perfect either! If you try to adopt all changes at once you're going to give up. You have to find a balance that works for you. That way it will stick for the long run."
"You should be running this country. This makes me very happy."
"Haha. I think it is important to understand how our decisions impact the world around us."
"Do you think sustainability is very big with your generation now?"
"I've been studying ethical fashion since 2015 and I'm surprised at how it is still a small section of the fashion industry. A lot of people tend to go for fast and cheap. We need to make sustainable fashion more accessible."
For the better.
