I have no problem paying more if the quality is good and the manufacturing is ethical and sustainable.
Me too, the problem is, there is no way to judge quality effectively until you wear the clothes for a long time.
Just because it is made here in the EU, doesn’t mean it is good quality. Tons of shit quality at a high price things exist.
For example couches. There are plenty of 5000€ couches that sink and degrade as fast or faster than ikea 500€ couches. It is a crapshoot for finding actual good quality like couches used to be.
Or, the other way of looking at it, prices are not impossibly low like we have come to expect from disposable fashion produced by exploited workers in slavery conditions.
German clothes are much more expensive than clothes from other European countries/companies, though. It’s insane.
I try mostly to buy my cloth from europe only for already quite long time and im very happy about this recent incensitive that will probably boost offer. But. There is two things that are a little bit irritating with EU clothing : the price and quality are way too high for lower middle class , i work , get dirty , sweat , i dont want to ruin a 500€ cashmire/welsh magical goat wool because my activity arnt excusively sunday brunch and art gallery opening. And omg , the fashion choice is insane too , i dont want to look like a berliner or parisian urban hipster when walking my dog or shopping in aldi.
They need more regular fashion and more reasonnable quality/pricing. I dont mind paying 100 euro for a jean for example but as someone wearing cap , its either i will look like a clown with their design or i need to pay 400 euro.
I’ve never been able to wear woolen clothing. Just the thought makes me itchy.
