Life became better when she said “hello my beautiful friends”!!! So much nostalgia with just the intro! Missed you love ❤️

[mjotawaldorf]

I'm very grateful because you have return to Youtube. You're such an inspirational woman for me. Thank you 🤗

[smiffyever]

I am not perfect environmentalist either, however I am doing my best here 😌. It is hard with so many influncers these days....H&M, Zara clothing being promoted everywhere. I try to follow minimalist and people that inspire me, like you Mimi 🥰. I mostly buy items from Cos, &other stories and always check the labels now. Thank you for making this video and spreading the news, well done for being an influencer with the right messages 😘

[anitacarter]

I love that you’re talking about this topic, people go shopping and they don’t even think about the environmental effects. We buy things we absolutely do not need. Thank you for helping to educate everyone.
☺️👍🏻

Well done Mimi, this message is so important. We have to realise that our fashion choices have a much bigger impact than we think.

What worked great for me is having a capsule wardrobe. I have saved so much money and feel better dressed.

Thank you for sharing your journey with sustainable fashion, Mimi! It's so important to be amplifying the dangers and destruction of the fast fashion industry.
I've been on my journey with sustainable and ethical fashion for the past 3 years or so and you definitely learn a lot once you actually pay attention to the intricacies of the industry and its impact on both people and the planet.

To me, the most important thing besides the environmental destruction is the impact on people, specifically the garment workers. Knowing we support companies that do not pay their workers fair and living wages, exploit them and allow them to work in unethical and dangerous environments does not sit right with me. More than anything, the fast fashion industry does a great job at hiding the hidden cost (I highly recommend the True Cost documentary) of our clothing whilst also pushing consumerism at its core.

Along those same lines, I truly believe the most sustainable thing we can do with our clothing is simply buy less and choose well and wear what we already own. Getting rid of old clothing to buy completely new sort of does the opposite in the sustainability front and it's so valuable to take a hard look and reflect on our relationship with clothing and consumerism. Thrifting is a brilliant way to curb fast fashion, but fast fashion habits can definitely trickle in with constantly buying and consuming without any conscious thinking. I blame capitalism and the billionaire companies whom convince us we're nothing without their 50 trends a year.

Sustainability and ethical fashion is so nuanced and definitely takes a lot of conscious and critical thinking, so I'm glad you are having this conversation on your platform and many folks are learning and unlearning about their relationship with fashion!

Your high end clothes are also made in Bangladesh. It doesn’t mean that product from made by Bangladesh are polyester. It’s the company who chose the fabric and place an order to the garment factory in Bangladesh. For your kind information Bangladesh has all kind of fabrics and especially people from Bangladesh likes cotton because the temperature is hot there. How much do you know about Bangladesh? Please make it correct that brands choose their fabrics not Bangladesh.

Hi, Mimi!
Glad you’re back! Can I ask why you quit YouTube for a year?)
We missed you 😊

[Ninaninaninaninaninaninanina]

Thank you for this important video, Mimi💕 and welcome back.

[kierstenpoling]

Yay! So good to see you back on YouTube! We've missed you. This was definitely an eyeopener. I'm already pretty conscious of what I buy since I don't have a lot to spend on clothes, but I'll definitely watch out for the polyester as best I can

[ma_brairan]

I think it's great that you are conscious about the environment and are mindful about your purchases. I just wanted to provide a couple of unsolicited remarks. First of all, people do buy second hand polyester and second hand everything. Also, materials like cashmere, wool, or silk do not "come from the environment". Animals are exploited for you to wear these. And last but not least, have you considered pieces made of recycled materials, including plastic?

[RosadeBoer]

Hi Mimi, I would love to learn how you care for your cashmere clothes. Thanks for sharing this inspiration! 🌞

[drsofiamaffei]

I’m so happy your are back on YouTube! Very grateful for this video. I really needed it 🙏

[dianecarney]

Mimi, this was an excellent video. I agree with everything you said. I live in the US and I have noticed lately shopping takes a lot of time and research to find what works. Love to see a closet tour and how you maintain your clothes. Thanks.

[Jackie_Rosewood]

Lots of great ideas on clothes. I started with my makeup collection that was out of hand. I was just buying makeup because it was trendy. Now I have started looking for cleaner items and I don’t buy more make up until I have finished the one I purchased. I am starting on clothes and this information will be helpful and saving money and time. Thank you Mimi and so glad you are back to filming🌟💜

As a knitter i do not buy top garments now and socks because i make my own. And i always go for natural based fiber for the top like bamboo or linen for summer and diff types of wool for colder seasons. There is 1 place for plastic for me, socks. Because they need durability. And nylon is what knitters commonly use. 15 to 20% nylon content yarns are usually common.

[gulmiraahmed]

Loved this video Mimi. I’ve recently stop buying from fast fashion and started thrifting, and couldn’t love it more. I often find really good quality natural fibers at the fraction of the original price, and they are so comfortable and flattering. We need more promotion on this.

[KamBiddle]

I think Massimo Dutti is not that bad. There, you can buy many items made out of natural fibers. I love their cashmere, silk, and linen pieces. I personally have some of their items for 10+ years.
