If you want to shop clothes with a better conscience, you need to know about Lost Stock.
has proved that the production chains shipping billions of cheaply made garments from Asia to the West are deeply unsustainable.
GLAMOUR is all about conscious consumption. Before you buy you should think about the fabrics our clothes are made from, how the workers were treated and paid, what chemicals were used in their processing… There are so manyways to shop that we shouldn’t need fast fashion, but it’s a behemoth business and simply stopping shopping is not the answer. Except that is exactly what the Coronavirus crisis has forced us to do.
Since Europe went into lockdown, high street retailers cancelled $2billion worth of orders. That’s 982million garments meant to be for sale in a store near you along with approximately 1 million factory workers in Bangladesh now out of work. Without government support,schemes or employment insurance the workers - and their families - are in trouble. To put it bluntly, as one factory owner said, “If coronavirus doesn’t kill my workers, then starvation will.
Cally Russell, Mallzee CEO, said; "With no safety net available for some of the poorest workers in the fashion supply chain we couldn't sit back and do nothing - leaving families to starve and new clothing heading to landfill. Covid-19 is a health and economic crisis in the UK but it's going to be a humanitarian crisis in countries like Bangladesh unless support is provided. With the Lost Stock approach consumers get a great deal and are also helping at the same time.
