Fair Wages and Safe Working Conditions One of the pillars of the slow fashion movement is its commitment to fair labor practices. While fast fashion relies on cheap labor in unsafe factories, slow fashion companies prioritize transparency in their supply chains, offering workers living wages, benefits, and safe working conditions. This helps empower local artisans and sustain traditional textile crafts. Supporting Local Economies Rather than outsourcing to reduce costs, slow fashion often supports local manufacturers, keeping production close to home.
