Or, the other way of looking at it, prices are not impossibly low like we have come to expect from disposable fashion produced by exploited workers in slavery conditions.

Definitely, but everytime clothing made in Europe is posted here, the top comments are usually about how expensive they are

True, but there's an easy solution:
Don't buy new clothes.
You probably already have more than enough.

Or buy used clothes at thrift stores

Clothes stay good for a good while if not abused, buying second hand is a fantastic way of reducing waste

I'm part of a clothes sharing group, and the amount of never-worn or like-new high quality clothing people just give away for free is incredible.

They are more expensive but at least don't have sweat of children and lead on them.
