✨🇪🇺 Mia’s Simulacrum 🏳️‍⚧️✨<p>Ok fashion industry.<br>I propose a deal for you.</p><p>I give you 40€ per month, that is your profit.</p><p>And you give me the highest quality garments you can produce and give it to me for the production price + tax.</p><p>If a garment fails in the first 5 years that could have been prevented by a better production method, you repair or replace the garment for free otherwise you provide repair for repair costs + tax.</p><p>If I get the garment via second hand you provide repair for the cost of the repair + tax.</p><p>You will provide a second hand platform for members that guarantees that I will get an original product of yours so I can use your repair promise for second hand garments without fear of scams.</p><p>You will produce your garments in any non dictatorship and pay relative to the nation good wages and prevent forced labor.</p><p>You will provide a way for designers to propose designs which the members can vote upon if you produce them in a trail, but your main priority is longevity, material and fashion wise.</p><p>You will provide workshops for little money that teach customers how they can customize their cloth and provide a space with machinery and experts in every major city.</p><p>If a company would do that there is a very high chance that this will be the only company I will get my cloth from and never cancel my subscription…. Even if half of that is the case I would still do it, but damn one can dream.<br>I would be such a fangirl.</p><p><a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/fashion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fashion</span></a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/clothing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>clothing</span></a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/garments" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>garments</span></a></p>
