"Slow Fashion has an aim of personalizing commerce. Purchasing a piece involves emotional investment; it ceases to be purely a transaction when you buy something from a company or person that you believe in. Instead, the sale turns into something like an investment in your shared vision. Imagine giving your money only to people you respect, who make things you love and work towards putting your shared values out into the world? That sounds a lot likehaving your cake and eating it, too.”  Slow vs. Fast: 3 Facts Why We Love Slow Fashion, Susannah Emerson.

All good things take time.
