‘Oh! This outfit is cute! But is it made of synthetics? Is it going to last long? I think I heard this brand doesn’t ethically use animals, maybe I should check.’ And down the spiral we go.
Shopping online can be a time-consuming and overwhelming process.
With endless options and seemingly endless research needed to make informed purchases, many consumers often resort to shopping at a few familiar marketplaces or stores. However, this means sacrificing the opportunity to find the best version of a product or supporting brands that align with their values.
Fast fashion may offer accessibility to good-looking clothing, but it doesn't necessarily cater to the multiple concerns and priorities that many consumers have beyond just low prices. In our own survey of online shoppers, materials, sustainability, and fit were listed as just as important as cost when it comes to purchasing clothing. However, the overwhelming amount of information and research required to make informed decisions can be a major roadblock to the shopping experience.
