The Environmental Benefit of Made-to-Order Fashion vs. Ultra-Fast Fashion

The fast fashion industry is riddled with unsustainable practices like overproduction, environmental harm, and exploitative labor, resulting in significant waste and ethical issues. Myed.is leading a shift toward slow fashion by connecting clients directly with skilled seamstresses to create custom garments that minimize waste and emphasize quality.
