I used to prefer boots but now I prefer trainers (UK) / sneakers (US). Although I really like shopping, fashion and buying new things, at the moment, I am trying to shop less.
I know that
fast fashion has a very
bad impact on the environment and the people who make these clothes and shoes are not treated well.
That's why the next pair of shoes I would like to buy are Vejas. These are "
vegan" leather trainers. They are made using
environmentally-friendly materials and the people who make them are given
a fair wage. However, they are quite expensive. They cost around 20,000 yen. Do you think this is a fair price for ethical clothing? For me, it' worth it.
