A story from the New York Times says that cotton prices are going up in response to limited supplies and increasing demand. Click here to review the article.
Implications: People could move to other fabric alternatives in the clothing they choose… when confronted with the prospect of higher prices for cotton garments. That states the obvious. But I’m wondering about other implications…
What impact this might have on clothing as a gift choice this holiday season?
Cotton is one of those rare products that is seldom challenged when referred to as “sustainable.” What other fabrics/clothing could emerge as an environmentally-friendly alternative? (Will people just bite the bullet and pay the higher prices for cotton garments?)
