    encourage their customers to wear their cheap synthetic clothing a single time and then throw it in the garbage

    do you have a single fact to back that up?

      The fast fashion part?

      The encouraging a single use part? Also in that article, but it revolves around influencers driving constant change. But also the clothes being really cheap and falling apart.

      And anecdotally, there’s a pile of clothes in my wife’s closet that still haven’t gotten their first wear.

          Yeah, I was a exaggerating a bit, but the waste of clothing and environmental damage is real. I saw it in a documentary. And Shein’s website is (or used to be) full of greenwashing.
