what are some fast fashion brands?
cad é faisean tapa?
Fast Fashion can be explained as cheap, in-vogue clothing that takes ideas from the catwalk or high-fashion culture and a chlaochlú go earraí éadaí i siopaí contúirteacha tapa chun riachtanais ceannaitheoirí a shásamh, gan aird ar bith ar inbhuanaitheacht.
The idea is to get the freshest styles available as quickly as possible conceivable, so customers can eat them up while they are currently at the peak of their fame and afterward, tragically, dispose of them after a couple of wears. Frámaíonn sé píosa ríthábhachtach den truailliú díobhálach, dramhaíl thocsaineach, ró-tháirgeadh agus úsáid a d'fhág go bhfuil faisean tapa ar cheann de na truaillithe is mó ar domhan, rud a tháirgeann 10% d'astaíochtaí gás ceaptha teasa an domhain.

What are some of the fast fashion brands?
We all know how bad Fast Fashion really is and why it needs to be stopped, but if you still don’t know we advise you to read cén fáth go bhfuil faisean tapa olc.
Having said this, how many of the most popular brands actually sell fast fashion? Well, sadly most big fashion stores today sell fast fashion, some of them are even pioneers in this unethical practice.
Here are some of the most popular Fast Fashion stores:
- An Grúpa Inditex, we put the whole Inditex fashion group here, which owns brands like Zara or Pull&Bear because they all revolve around Fast Fashion, not only that, Zara is even the pioneer in this unethical business practice and that’s the reason why many people are avoiding buying from them.
- Primark, this Irish company is well-known for its extremely cheap (and poor quality) clothes. This is one of the living Fast Fashion examples to avoid. Some time ago they were involved in a scandal where they supposedly used child labor in third world countries, although we can’t and will not confirm that (we prefer not to get a lawsuit).
- Shein, this brand takes Fast Fashion to a whole other level, we may even e able to say that they have invented the Ultra-Fast Fashion, selling extremely cheap clothes of dreadful quality by the ton. This is a very interesting topic on its own, so we invite you to read about Múnla Faisean Ultra-Gasta Shein.
- Mango, this brand is popular in many countries, and its clothes are worn by many people worldwide. However, its Fast Fashion practices have led them to be part of the Rana Plaza factory collapse which took the lives of many factory workers, which shows the bad working conditions they are in.
- Feisteoirí Uirbeacha, this fast fashion brand is also known for considering textile workers’ rights as optional and producing cheap fast fashion clothes. Also, worse than that is that they have also been flagged for stealing designs from independent small creators for their own benefit, which is completely unethical.
Sadly, there are many many more examples of Fast Fashion brands, but we have named you some of them and the most important ones. Although many of them say to start transitioning to a more sustainable fashion business model, most of the time these are just empty words, and unfortunately, they do nothing to become sustainable.
examples of slow fashion brands
We have seen some of the most popular Fast Fashion brands, but now, what are some of the Slow or Sustainable fashion brands?
Not all hope is lost, and sustainable fashion is becoming more relevant as people become aware of how their shopping habits can harm the environment, people, and the economy. Today, we don’t necessarily have a lot of Slow Fashion brands but we do have some you can buy from, and the good thing is, you can purchase their clothes online!
Having said this, here are the best Sustainable Fashion Brands you can buy from:
- Gramadach NYC:This beautiful store sells one of the best clothes out there, not only do they use the best quality materials, but they also make their designs with Faiseani gcuimhne. Is é an t-aon droch-rud faoin mbranda seo ná a phraghas, rud a d'fhéadfaí a rá go bhfuil sé an-ard, ach ar a laghad tá cáilíocht agus inbhuanaitheacht ag teacht go mór leis an bpraghas. Is féidir leat cuairt a thabhairt ar a siopaanseo.
- Dhá Lá Saor:This store uses locally produced, ecological clothes made with recycled materials. They use linen, cotton, wool, and hemp for their products. Like the last one, price is not their strength, but they do offer original and stylish clothing. You can visit their store anseo.
- ABLE: Tá éadaí agus gabhálais déanta go cothrom ag an mBranda Slow Fashion Eiticiúil seo ag déantóirí ar fud an domhain. Tá céim mhór á tógáil acu ar an mbealach ar son trédhearcachta sa tionscal faisin trína gcuid pá a fhoilsiú. Tá a gcuid éadaí níos inacmhainne ná na brandaí eile ach fós níl siad chomh saor agus ba mhaith le duine. Is féidir leat cuairt a thabhairt ar a siopaanseo.
- Valaní:Cruthaíonn an branda éadaí ildaite seo atá bunaithe ar phlandaí éadaí baininscneach den chuid is mó le haghaidh maireachtála níos éadroime. Tá baill éadaigh aislingeacha Valani déanta as snáithíní ísealtionchair cosúil le cnáib, Tencel, agus vioscós banana, beagán cosúil le Two Days Off. Ina theannta sin, úsáideann an branda teicnící gearrtha straitéiseacha agus athúsáideann sé blúirí fabraice chun dramhaíl a laghdú. Tá éadaí fíor-ildaite acu ar chóir duit iad a sheiceáilanseo.
- PLEA:Is é seo ár mbranda féin! Cuirimid freisin éadaí faisin mall inbhuanaithe ar féidir leat a cheannach. Táimid ag díriú go príomha ar léinte t, cochaill, agus gabhálais, ach tá siad ar phraghas réasúnta, agus ní amháin sin, ach cuirimid éadaí customizable, Sin ceart! Is féidir leat t-léine saincheaptha, hoodie, nó gabhálais a chruthú ionas gur féidir linn iad a dhéanamh agus iad a sheoladh chugat mar go n-úsáideann muid modh réabhlóideach nach bhfuil i gceist leis tonna éadaí a chruthú sula ndíoltar iad, ní dhéanaimid ach iad a tháirgeadh ar ordú! Is féidir leat seiceáil ar ár siopaanseo.
To sum it up, we do have a lot of choices literally in the palm of our hands, so there is no excuse other than not having enough money to quit buying Fast Fashion. Either way, if you want to know more about what you can do for sustainable fashion even if you don’t have money, check out how to do slow fashion.
how can we tell the difference?
If you encounter any brand and you don’t know enough about their background and what business practices they stand for, we have some tips that may help you out.
Here are some tips for knowing if a brand is Fast Fashion or Slow Fashion:
- Investigate the brand, read articles about them, and read the news to find out about their business morals and practices.
- Look into their website, and see if they disclose how they treat their workers and if they use sustainable materials for their clothes.
- Read customer reviews and unbiased articles that may clarify any doubts about the brand.
- Use common sense, if the clothes the brand is offering are too cheap, they are probably outsourcing their costs onto the environment and their workers, as a fashion store has to pay a LOT of costs, like marketing, shipping, paying wages, the clothes themselves are a small piece of the brand’s costs.
