This survey is market research for a small slow fashion boutique I am launching in the coming months. The boutique will offer one-off handmade garments and a small selection of unique vintage items.
Slow fashion is:
* made ethically (fair wages and workplace environments for workers)
* made sustainably (textiles used for the garments can be recycled or purchased in limited quantities to ensure there is no overproduction)
* clothing that may be sold on a made to order basis so as to reduce overproduction
* a much slower business cycle. Designers release new designs and collections on a much slower basis to help consumers make thoughtful purchases
