Only when we have one store left to buy from will we realise we needed to support small businesses.
Eventually big chain corporations will be all that is left 🥲
They mass produce, rip off designs like .flanagan (check out video on this) and yes they may make things “affordable” but in doing so we splurge and buy more than we need.
When things are cheap and too accessible, we don’t appreciate them, and then when we’re sick of our homes looking like everyone else’s, we throw things out and start again.
We need to change this way of thinking before it’s too late.
👉🏼 support local businesses
👉🏼 support local manufacturing
👉🏼 support authentic design
Let’s not have the inside of our homes become as standardised and simplified as the outsides have become.
And as I posted recently what one of my clients said to me “if I don’t, who will?”
