## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Read this before your next trip to Primark
*by A***A on 11 August 2015*

Chilling stuff. I don't usually have 'epiphanies' from books and really dislike all that Millennial, Paltrow-esque twaddle about how you should make your own jam and wash your hair in unicorn tears for the good of the planet, but Cline writes a fact-heavy piece without resorting to twee sentimentality. She just opens her own wardrobe (which by the sounds of it looks like 80% of wardrobes in the West) and does a simple cost analysis of the pieces there. The ethical questions flow naturally from there - how can a store sell $5 shirts on a regular basis and not go bust within a week - more to the point, who's getting screwed for this to happen? Turns out - we all are. You don't have to be incredibly perceptive to notice that clothes from H&M don't last for ages, but when Cline sources 80's items from charity shops and weighs them alongside modern equivalents, it's quite astounding to see how little material is being used nowadays.I'm not saying this book will make you set your wardrobe on fire or join a commune, but after reading it, you might be more inclined to shop for your disposable party pieces of eBay and buy the more serious items from quality stores, even it they do cost much more.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ if your wardrobe is about to explode, read this book.
*by L***A on 15 September 2013*

it's not bad to know how our garment is evolved.This book describe this evolution very well, and maybe I will briefly consider my next purchase whether it is justified or not to buy it.It is important that everyone attaches more value to the quality of a garment, by opting for quality rather than quantity. So that our relationship with our clothes do not end up like our food, where they do not know where our milk comes from. Or how a cow looks like.I recommend the book to anyone who does not bother to buy cheap clothes and whose wardrobe is about to explode.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Important read for everyone who buys clothes!
*by K***S on 29 July 2019*

This is a very insightful book. I was already on a path to being more conscious of my impact on the world, and this just fortified what was already in my head. The things we are doing to the planet and fellow people just so we can buy a dress for a fiver is ridiculous and disgusting. I will definitely be more aware of how I spend my pound, and already no longer buy new polyester items, or clothes from Bangladesh.I really recommend this book.
