Lapha usulungele ukuthenga ama-jumper namabhuzu ngentengo ehlisiwe. Kodwa nakuba lokhu kuthenga kungase kungabizi kuwe, kunezinye izindleko ongaziboni. Ngakho-ke yini okudingeka uyazi mayelana nezindleko zemvelo zemfashini esheshayo?
Ezinye izinhlobo zendwangu zidala umonakalo omkhulu endaweni ezungezile.
Kungenzeka ukuthi izingubo zakho eziningi zenziwe ngezinto zokwenziwa ezifana ne-rayon, inayiloni, ne-polyester, empeleni equkethe izakhi zepulasitiki.
Inkinga iwukuthi uma ugeza lezi zindwangu, ama-microfiber azo aphelela emanzini bese ephumela emifuleni nasezilwandle. Ngokocwaningo, zingadliwa izilwane zasendle ngisho nokudla esikudlayo.
UJason Forrest, uchwepheshe wokusimama e-British Academy of Fashion Retail, ubonisa ukuthi ngisho nemicu yemvelo ingaqeda imithombo yomhlaba. Thatha i-denim eyenziwe ngekotini, isibonelo: "Kuthatha amalitha angu-20 amanzi ukukhiqiza i-jeans," kusho uForrest.
Into eshibhile, mancane amathuba okuthi ikhiqizwa ngokuziphatha.
Ngeshwa, kuvame ukwenzeka ukuthi ezinye izinto ezishibhile zikhiqizwa abantu abasesimweni esingesihle, lapho beholelwa imali engaphansi komholo ophansi. Izenzo ezinjalo zivame kakhulu emazweni anjengeBangladesh neChina. Nase-UK kuke kwabikwa ngabantu abakhokhelwa imali ephansi ngokungemthetho ukuze benzelwe izingubo ezidayiswa ezitolo ezinkulu.
ULara Bianchi, isifundiswa saseNyuvesi yaseManchester Business School, uphawula ukuthi imfashini idale imisebenzi eminingi ezindaweni ezimpofu, “okuyinto enhle” kwezomnotho wendawo. “Kodwa-ke, ngicabanga ukuthi imfashini esheshayo nayo ibe nomthelela omkhulu emalungelweni abasebenzi nasemalungelweni abantu besifazane,” uyanezela.
Ngokusho kuka-Bianchi, uchungechunge lokuhlinzekwa kwamazwe ngamazwe luyinkimbinkimbi futhi lude kangangokuthi imikhiqizo eminingi yamazwe ngamazwe ayikwazi ukuhlola nokulawula yonke imikhiqizo yabo. “Ezinye izinhlobo zenza kahle uma zifinyeza amaketanga azo futhi zizibophezele hhayi zona kanye nabahlinzeki bawo besigaba sokuqala kuphela, kodwa nawo wonke ama-supply chain wonkana.”
Uma ungazilahli izingubo kanye nokupakishwa kukho, kuthunyelwa endaweni yokulahla imfucumfucu noma ekushiseni.
Ukuze wazise ubukhulu bemboni yemfashini esheshayo, cabanga ngakho: I-Asos, umthengisi wezingubo zokugqoka nezimonyo ozinze e-UK, usebenzisa izikhwama zepulasitiki ezingaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-59 kanye namabhokisi okuposa ayizigidi ezingu-5 minyaka yonke ukuze athumele ama-oda aku-inthanethi. Nakuba amabhokisi enziwa ngezinto ezigaywe kabusha, izikhwama zepulasitiki zakha kuphela u-25% wezinto ezigaywe kabusha.
Kuthiwani ngezingubo ezigugile? Abaningi bethu bavele bayilahle. Ngokusho kwenhlangano esiza umphakathi yase-UK i-Love Not Landfill, ingxenye eyodwa kwezintathu yabantu abaneminyaka engu-16 kuya ku-24 abakaze izingubo zabo zigaywe kabusha. Ukuze unciphise ukulimala kwemvelo, cabanga ngokwenza kabusha izingubo zakho ezisetshenzisiwe noma unikele ngazo ezinhlanganweni ezisiza abampofu.
Ukudiliva kunomthelela ekungcoleni komoya.
Kukangaki uphuthelwa ukulethwa, okuphoqa umshayeli ukuthi ashayele abuyele kuwena ngakusasa? Noma uye wa-oda iqoqo elikhulu lezingubo ukuze unqume ukuthi azikulingani?
Cishe izingxenye ezimbili kwezintathu zabathengi abathenga izingubo zabesifazane ku-inthanethi babuyisela okungenani into eyodwa, ngokusho kombiko. Lesi siko lama-serial oda kanye nembuyiselo yengeza amamayela amaningi ashayelwa izimoto.
Okokuqala, izingubo zithunyelwa zisuka embonini yokukhiqiza ziye ezinqolobaneni ezinkulu, bese amaloli azihambisa ezindaweni zokugcina impahla, bese izingubo zifika kuwe ngomshayeli weposi. Futhi wonke lawo maphethiloli anesandla ekungcoleni komoya, okubuye kuhlotshaniswe nempilo embi yomphakathi. Cabanga kabili ngaphambi koku-oda enye into!
