Organic cotton prices are killing my design dreams
I mean, idk, maybe it's just me, but I tried to sketch a line using all sustainable fabrics. The quote for the organic cotton alone was insane, like triple what I budgeted. Everyone says to go green, but how are new designers supposed to start? I had to drop half my ideas because the costs were too high. Now I think the whole eco trend is just for big brands with deep pockets.

Is it just about money, or are we missing something? @ward.angela mentioned using leftover fabric, but does that really help new designers start from scratch? I mean, if eco fashion is only for the rich, why do we keep hearing about small brands making it work? Maybe the trend isn't the problem but how we approach it. Your dreams might need a reality check on what green really means right now. But hey, is giving up on ideas the only way to deal with high costs?

Yeah the prices are crazy, but some small brands use leftover fabric to keep things green. It's more about being clever than having lots of money lol.
