weigh the cost

July 22, 2013

i will be the first to admit that i have fallen many times to the temptation of fast fashion. but as i continue to grow my business, my appreciation for the craftsmanship and quality of a product mimics that growth. there is nothing quite as exquisite or beautiful to me than a product that took time and care, thought and design, quality materials and handcrafting. this is just one reason why antiques are of such admiration and duration; it frightens me to think of the future.....what will our antiques look like then from what is being made now?

this article from bloomberg businessweek, "the hidden cost of fast fashion," sheds light on this point, and so much more.
