The math of fashion: why we choose slow

Posted by Mora Heritage Editorial Team on

Let’s talk about the logic of the investment piece.

We’ve all been there. You see a trendy dress online for $50. It feels like a steal. You buy it for a Saturday night out. You wear it once. Then, you wash it, and the hem twists, the fabric pills, or you just fall out of love with it because it feels cheap.

That dress cost you $50 per wear.

Now, consider the investment piece.

 

The cost-per-wear equation

At Mora Heritage, we design our dresses to be the hardest working pieces in your wardrobe.

Let’s look at the Byron Bay Dress ($329).

  • Wear 1: A summer wedding.

  • Wear 5: Work meetings styled with a blazer.

  • Wear 15: Weekend brunches styled with slides.

  • Wear 30: Beach holidays styled over swimwear.

Over a year, that dress might cost you $6 per wear. And because it’s made from high-quality organic cotton and expertly tailored by artisans, it looks just as beautiful on wear 50 as it did on wear 1.

 

The hidden cost of cheap

Fast fashion isn't just expensive for your wallet in the long run; it's expensive for the planet. Synthetic fabrics take hundreds of years to decompose and shed microplastics into our oceans.

By choosing slow, natural fibers like our organic cotton, you are making a choice for longevity. You are buying less, but buying better.

 

Future vintage

We call our pieces future vintage because we want you to still be wearing them in five years. We want your daughter to ask to borrow them. That is the true value of slow fashion.
