Divided consumers
Hélène, met on rue d'Alsace-Lorraine, is torn: "The situation of the people who make these clothes touches me, but _it's true that because of the prices, we often lets try._But it is inadmissible that we make children work or underpaid people: it makes me think more and more and I try to buy less and less on sites or stores of this gender."
Léa, a student, claims to give in to the sirens of "fast fashion" out of necessity: "I have a small budget, I don't necessarily have a choice, in fact. When you go to certain shops, when you're looking for a t-shirt, which is 25 euros, while _you know you can pay 5 euros on the side_, the choice is quickly made.
Thomas has embarked on a process of reducing his consumption of clothing: "What worries me is that some stores profit from exploitation. But there is also _the exploitation of "children in Bangladesh and the ecological impact of making these clothes_. It's quite problematic. Personally, I try to buy less and make do with what I have to limit my purchases in these kinds of shops. "
