and who check the packaging for
sustainable labeling.”
Scarcity & Exclusivity
Kelly MeyersSr. Strategist
“Fast fashion is much more than the production side of things. There is also a
volume play here that creates the
scarcity... If I don’t buy these now
they will be gone in a week!”
Collaboration with SVILU
