FAQs: Clothing Brand and Sustainability

Handmade sustainable clothes are typically more expensive than mass-produced clothing due to the fact that the production process is more time-consuming and involves a higher level of craftsmanship. The materials used in sustainable clothing are also often more expensive because they are ethically sourced and environmentally friendly.

In addition, small-scale independent designers and artisans who create sustainable clothing may not have the same economies of scale as large retail brands, which can drive up the cost of their products. However, the higher price tag is often justified by the fact that handmade sustainable clothing is made to last and has a lower environmental impact than fast fashion items.
