Fast fashion is destructive – and you're supposed to wear it?

Fast fashion is destroying – and you're supposed to wear it?

Fast fashion is not a trend.
It is a **system of exploitation**, **environmental destruction** and **industrial indifference** – cleverly packaged as "cheap & fast".

The shirts cost €4, but someone else pays for them: workers, animals, nature.
The true costs are externalized – onto bodies, habitats, and future generations.

## What is Fast Fashion?

The term describes a business model:
👕 **Fashion is mass-produced**,
🚚 **Delivered in the shortest possible time** and
🗑️ **disposed of just as quickly.**

Brands release new collections every week – because your consumption has become predictable.
It's no longer about clothes, but about **clickbait made of fabric**.

## The consequences: brutal and real.

### 🌍 Environment:
- Textile industry = second largest polluter worldwide
- Rivers polluted by dye works
- Microplastics from synthetic fibers

### 🐾 Animals:
- No animal welfare for leather, wool, fur
Animal suffering is a hidden component of many clothing items.

### 🤬 People:
- Lowest wages & forced labor
- No labor rights
- Collapsing factories like Rana Plaza (2013, 1134 dead)

## And you? Do you support the system – or reject it?

Many believe they have no choice.
But every decision when buying clothes is a micro-statement.

If you don't want to be part of the destruction,
**Don't wear a lie made of cotton.**

## How we at NATURA UMBRA do things differently:

✅ 100% organic cotton (GOTS & OCS)
✅ PETA-approved vegan
✅ No warehouse, no overproduction
✅ No greenwashing
✅ Not just an empty design – but a message

We don't make **fashion to throw away**, but clothes to think about.

🖤 For all who feel.
🖤 For all those who don't look away.
