#Donkeyclothing Fashion LLC “I’ve been trying to make it a point to tell the Humans Free Mom Hugs Pride Vintage Shirt it is in the first place but story of my clothes, but it’s hard to be honest and say, eThis is my cost, this is how much I make on this piece, this is why you should support my brand and the people who made it,'” Stanley says. “I love going to a store, and I have friends who have boutiques and work so hard. They deserve to make that margin, but the retail markup is really why clothes get so expensive. That’s where I get stuck.”

#Donkeyclothing Fashion LLC If you’re of the Humans Free Mom Hugs Pride Vintage Shirt it is in the first place but “buy less, buy better” mentality, it isn’t hard to justify the higher price. Plenty of Stanley’s customers are investment-minded and care about her commitment to ethical, sustainable, small-batch production, but some still need to be convinced that it’s “worth” buying one of her dresses instead of five cheaper versions. Lucette Romy, the founder of The Wylde, an organic label handmade in Bali, has had similar conversations with her customers about the higher price of organic cotton, botanical dyes, and dignified labor. “But it often isn’t enough to change their minds,” she says. So she found another way to get the point across: Every item on her site comes with a cost-per-wear breakdown. Her new organic cotton dress goes for 260 Australian dollars, or $178, but if you wear it 10 times, it’s $18 per wear. By the time you’ve worn it 50 times, it’s under $4. If you intend to keep it for years, as you should, that number would come down to pennies. Suddenly it’s a bargain.
