What a good point ~ The cost of disposal .... hadn't thought about that angle.
Have a clap
Oooh my area of expertise working apparently in the fashion industry.
Places like Primark stack em high and sell em cheap which generally works in the fashion trade. Labels usually mean the quality is better but many now see the latest look as more important than the label, some even boast about cheapness rather than expense.
However, this means that on the whole the under 35's change their wardrobe annually, think of the waste. From production at the sweatshops and haulage to disposal. A complete mess!
As for me, I'd like to place myself in the same bracket as others. My wife can't believe that I've had the same Helly Hansen jacket for 10 years. It still keeps me dry and the ?180 coat cost me ?6 due to some wonky stitching on the cuff. I'm looking for an MP3 player at the moment (and have been for about 6 weeks) lots of google and amazon research has put me on the right lines i now await the right price. With electronics I feel if you've bought something and it is no cheaper 12 months later, you've done bloody well.
