I just went to check if she’s actually acknowledged anything about the government vote to not feed poor kids last night - nope, nothing, just the story about choosing a Tesla over a Bentley. So left wing, a true working class hero.Sounds like small business shreddy didn’t make 6million this year after all
She’s one of the worst people I’ve ever come across tbhI just went to check if she’s actually acknowledged anything about the government vote to not feed poor kids last night - nope, nothing, just the story about choosing a Tesla over a Bentley. So left wing, a true working class hero.
In all seriousness, anyone who thinks shes left wing at this point is just tapped. Shes so fake, she slings a few blm posts up here and there and types out the words ‘vote labour’ during election time, just to keep the fanbase happy, but literally every single one of her actions are those of a cold hard tory.I just went to check if she’s actually acknowledged anything about the government vote to not feed poor kids last night - nope, nothing, just the story about choosing a Tesla over a Bentley.

We tried to tell them!!TALA posted a snippet of their “ethical” factory in Hong Kong and the comments are
Did she really not think people would notice?Also guys the tala factory post is literally full of people in the comments saying that the factory is in shanghai, as in it literally says it in the video
I literally don’t understand how a business with apparently so much cash pumped into for scaling can’t notice massive issues in their content like this. Spelling mistakes, awful customer service, stealing other people’s ideas - I work in content marketing and I’ve never had anyone on my team make such huge cock ups!Did she really not think people would notice?
Not even going to go into the huge political problems and ignorance of conflating Shanghai with HK but woke intelligent Grez knows everything since she can answer all the questions on UCAlso guys the tala factory post is literally full of people in the comments saying that the factory is in shanghai, as in it literally says it in the video
I would hope that's the case because I can't imagine how anyone could make such a mistake if it wasn't.Tbf it says Shanghai on the machine, not on the wall or anything. It’s possible that the machine was made in Shanghai or by a Shanghai company instead. I only say this because I lived in a city in China and you see Guangzhou/Beijing/Shanghai characters on elevators/trucks/buses because that’s where the machinery was made. Wouldn’t be surprised if this is the case

Time to deconstruct a quote from their caption...
"To truly turn the fast-fashion world on its head, we need to provide as many sustainable alternatives as we possibly can. "
This is a total contradiction.
"disruption" means absolutely nothing without results, and I think a couple more years will prove that for TALA
- They KNOW that their products are sub par quality, as they are getting constant feedback about the leggings ripping, thereby making them unusable & forcing people to buy replacements ≠ sustainable. This is the biggest point: products that do not sustain the expected life cycle of a piece of clothing (which can be almost indefinite with the highest quality products, being passed down/sold 2nd hand to multiple wearers) are literally not sustainable. It does not matter at all about how sustainable the production process of the product is if it becomes not fit for purpose & therefore thrown away after a few wears. A girl in the comments said she's bought three (!!) pairs of TALA leggings which have all ripped. That's 4 x the necessary consumption (from buying 3 pairs of leggings, and then a 4th pair from elsewhere to actually serve the purpose of leggings).
- Fast fashion is a hugely established consumer pattern, ingrained into young girls specifically by influencers like Grace. Trying to "work with it" rather than against it is just a myth at this early stage in the fight to dismantle it: you can't turn something on its head that totally dominates the market without doing the groundwork first. The companies that try to emulate that volume of clothes will end up taking short cuts for profit (as Tala has) and just become fast fashion themselves ≠ sustainable. The goal should be educating consumers on their choices and better alternatives, not trying to be a wolf in sheep's clothing and fulfill the exact same purpose as fast fashion.
- Creating constant new styles ≠ sustainable ! They are putting their resources into creating a higher volume of poor quality product, rather than a more modest volume of high quality (therefore ACTUALLY sustainable) products. Every time they create a new style, they are generating more waste (through the sampling process, trail and error of initial production, sourcing new materials). "Many" should mean the volume of product, not the amount of styles of product (there are currently FORTY ONE styles of tops on their website. Not including styles that are out of stock!)
I feel like the fact they haven’t replied to any of these comments with “hey babe, this factory is based in HK!Tbf it says Shanghai on the machine, not on the wall or anything. It’s possible that the machine was made in Shanghai or by a Shanghai company instead. I only say this because I lived in a city in China and you see Guangzhou/Beijing/Shanghai characters on elevators/trucks/buses because that’s where the machinery was made. Wouldn’t be surprised if this is the case
Edit:
That being said, the box they’re using has a sign and it is written in Mandarin not Cantonese which would suggest they are in mainland China, not Hong Kong.
Either way, aside from them potentially lying about it, the real issue is clothing manufacturing in general. The majority of clothes are made in factories and people are paid a disgustingly low wage. They can say all they want about fair pay but if it’s so fair, why not have it be UK made? Her fans are deluded if they think TALA can be trulysustainable while the CEO is buying teslas, a big house in London and going on holidays eight times a year. In a sustainable business, the majority of her salary should go to the garment workers.
