I try mostly to buy my cloth from europe only for already quite long time and im very happy about this recent incensitive that will probably boost offer. But. There is two things that are a little bit irritating with EU clothing : the price and quality are way too high for lower middle class , i work , get dirty , sweat , i dont want to ruin a 500โ‚ฌ cashmire/welsh magical goat wool because my activity arnt excusively sunday brunch and art gallery opening. And omg , the fashion choice is insane too , i dont want to look like a berliner or parisian urban hipster when walking my dog or shopping in aldi.

They need more regular fashion and more reasonnable quality/pricing. I dont mind paying 100 euro for a jean for example but as someone wearing cap , its either i will look like a clown with their design or i need to pay 400 euro.

You could take a look at something like Asket? I recently got two t-shirts from them, and I love how they are simple and elegant. They only have one "essentials" collection and also are cheaper than others like merzbschwanen or something.

I cannot say anything about their longevity yet, unfortunately.

Completely understood and i agree that it is a bit irritating to put a lot of money on cloths and get them scratched the next day ! I try to buy the same and honestly shop a lot on https://www.wedressfair.fr/ lately. The brand colorful standard makes stuff that lasts long enough for me and that is pretty classic stuff, no hipster style necessary.
