We all love a good deal, but when it comes to clothing, a lower price tag often comes with a hidden cost—your health. Fast fashion brands keep prices low by cutting corners, using cheap, synthetic fabrics like polyester, nylon, and spandex instead of high-quality natural fibers. These plastic-based materials aren’t just bad for the environment—they can also affect your skin, hormones, and overall well-being.
The Hidden Cost of Cheap Clothes
Most inexpensive clothing is made from petroleum-based fabrics that trap heat, release microplastics, and contain harmful chemicals like BPA and phthalates. These toxins can be absorbed through your skin with repeated wear, potentially disrupting hormones and causing irritation—especially for moms who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or spending hours cuddling little ones.
Why Quality Over Quantity Matters
When you invest in natural fabrics like organic cotton, linen, and wool, you’re choosing breathable, durable materials that are safer for you and your family. These fabrics last longer, feel better, and don’t come with the same risks as synthetic alternatives. While they may cost more upfront, they outlast cheap, plastic-filled clothing—saving you money in the long run.
At Hood, we believe your health is worth more than a bargain bin price tag. Our pieces are made from high-quality, nontoxic fabrics that support your well-being without sacrificing style. Because when it comes to what touches your skin every day, cheap just isn’t worth the risk.
