is cider clothing worth it? my experience + alternative CHEAPER places to shop

ALRIGHT LADIES AND GENTS. cider clothing has been all over my social media recently, but LOTS of people have been complaining about their brand. so i dive in deep into their company history, order something myself, and come up with a verdict about the store. i also provided alternative shopping sites for you to spend your money on later in the video :-)

@charliespirits is NOW @bugberrys on instagram if you'd like to check them out!!

if cider is watching this video, please correct me at any point in the video :-) i am just leaving a review so that your future customers understand what kind of company you are/where their money goes!!

alternative shopping sites: i'm not liable for your experience with the stores i've listed near the end of the video. do a bit of research before you buy from the brands i listed (for good measure) !!

thank you :')

those ig ads have been haunting me sm i wouldnt know that they have this kind of reputation omg :/

[softlyal]

your video came at the perfect time! i was thinking of buying from cider and thank you for informing me! xx

[Toribell]

I really appreciate you showing small and big brands. A lot of people only recommend fast fashion or tell people to only shop at small brands/ thrift stores. In reality, most people have to do both and imo it’s better to recommend that than one or the other.

Bershka is the sister store to Zara so you can definitely trust it!!!!

[kiarayne]

I had my shopping cart open on Cider and came looking for some influencer discount codes and your video was the first to pop up! Between your breakdown and several comments telling their experience I just saved $30. Thank you!

I feel like Bershka is getting noticed in other parts of the world now too. Honestly it’s my go to store, same as Pull&Bear. Super cheap, good quality and cute

for ppl who want to be more sustainable, it is expensive. this is basically bc you’re paying for a fair wage for the people making the clothes and for high quality and sustainable materials. you will be spending a shit ton of money if you actually chose to buy from real sustainable stores (not green washing). if you want do this, it’s v understandable, i can’t either a lot of the time. some things to try are just not buying clothes when you don’t need them. consuming in any way will always be less sustainable than just not. if you do rly like shopping, try and find the items you want then write them down and save it for thirty days. after the period, if you still want it, get it, and if you don’t, don’t. this might prevent shopping on a whim or bc you’re emotional.

This is such an informative video but i would recommend not shopping at UO. Personally i try to not shop at fast fashion companies a lot but that is not the reason why. The owner supports certain organizations that have racist and homophobic views and the way they operate in stores also reflect that. i prefer to buy UO on depop and other second hand places because i don’t want my money directly going to the company.

EVERYTHING IS SO ORGANIZED AND THE EDITING IS SO GOOD AND YOU ARE SO GOOD IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA OMG THE TALENT

[allysanne]

Their marketing asthethic is so good but it's really just shein 😭

[briemartin]

Hey girl thank you so much for making this video! I kept getting the ads on IG for Cider and was very close to ordering from them but the prices definitely put me off. I (and I’m sure many other people) really appreciate you for making this very informative video!

[Jade-tgjs]

Girl your editing IS EVERYTHING!!! I just found your channel and I'm already obsessed<3

[arellayang]

edit: hi everyone :') thank you so much for the support on this video, it really means a lot!! i've been reading through the comments, and a lot of you have been bringing up really good points that i was unaware of. i'd just like to reiterate that any fast fashion companies should not be supported; secondhand purchases should. when i made this video, i did not thoroughly do my research and did not convey my opinions properly. my apologies, i'll be sure to next time! point is: please refrain from participating in fast fashion. the clock is ticking, and you can do so much more than a $5 top from shein. thank you so much, and again i apologize for any misconstrued information<3

Sustainable is actually accessible and and a good idea for everyone :( it starts with your relationship with clothing and asking yourself how much clothing you really need, and how often you need to change your wardrobe. Depop like you mentioned and thrifting in person are great options to slowly transition into more sustain ways of dressing.

[digitalmarigames]

im so annoyed i just bought from them and now im seeing all these things abt them😭 im gonna dispute the charge

[miamischannel]

i love how much effort you put into the editing!!!!

[RatRatRat]

thanks for this!! I just got an ad for them on my instagram & wanted to do some research before getting into their stuff - i couldn’t find much by myself so this video was really helpful ☺️☺️

[hananhafizal]

I was abt to buy from cider but seeing this I’m thinking twice abt it 😢

[MT-veif]

This is so helpful! I was really considering getting something after seeing all their ads on Instagram, so this was the perfect timing

[naomi]
