This week, Rosie & Roula dive into the uncomfortable truth behind fast fashion, overconsumption, textile waste, unethical labour, and why “cheap clothes” cost far more than we realise. From clothes ending up on the shores of Congo to the pressure of constantly buying new outfits, this episode exposes the hidden side of the fashion industry—and offers real, doable solutions.
You’ll hear:
• What “fast fashion” really means
• Why cheap clothing isn’t actually cheap
• How textile waste ends up in places like Congo
• The psychology of overconsumption & buying pressure
• Why swapping, thrifting & buying local actually matters
• How to build a more mindful, sustainable wardrobe
• Roula’s Pinterest hack to stop impulse buying
• The emotional + environmental impact of constant consumption
Whether you love fashion or hate shopping (hi, Rosie 👋), this episode will shift the way you think about your wardrobe and your habits.
