While Patagonia is expensive and definitely I only buy at good sales. It isn't just the environmental impacts they minimize but also the conditions of the workers that make their clothes. Fair wages, safe working conditions, etc.
Sure, you can get way cheaper clothing but most of it is from sweatshop factories that employ children and have awful conditions with low wages.
They also repair clothing and encourage people not to keep buying new. You can sell back their stuff to buy something else used or new.
So, while I can't afford a closet full of their clothes-the stuff I have has lasted years and they've repaired stuff to give me more years.
Just because some people make it a type of status thing-the price of their clothing is going to improving and sustaining employees in developing countries and not just making the rich richer. Too bad other overpriced brands don't do the same but still cost an arm and a leg.
Thumbs up! Good selection and good discount, relatively. I want to support Pategonia, but even on sale, a bit expensive.
LOVE patagonia. Amazing products, top tier construction and quality. I own several products, never any regrets!
