Of course, quality is going to cost more. We will buy fewer high value, slow-to-consume products. A fairer distribution of this ticket price through the supply chain is an intrinsic part of this quality-driven agenda. Employment would be preserved as workers spend longer on each piece. Slow design is about a richer interaction between designer and maker; maker and garment; garment and user. A strong bond of relationships is formed which permeates far beyond the garment manufacturing chain and influences the way our clothes are designed and used.
