PRODUCT COST BREAK DOWN

The true cost of lingerie? What should your undies really cost? With fast fashion brands all around us selling products at ridiculously cheap prices it is hard to compete as a small business. It became very clear every quickly that these prices are so unattainable yet consumers have been conditioned to be see the value of these garments as so little. The only way these small price tags exist is exploitation, stolen designs and cheap quality. Dear Planet wants to change the narrative begin to highlight what underwear should cost. At the bottom of each garment listing there is a basic product cost break down. If you want a full product break down send an email lauren@dearplanet.co.uk to get the break down sent to you.
