Have you seen Buy Now! The Shopping Conspiracy on Netflix? If not, it’s time to add it to your watchlist. This eye-opening documentary dives into the manipulative marketing strategies of big corporations to fuel endless consumerism at the expense of our wallets and the planet.
The film sheds light on the environmental fallout of this overconsumption cycle: planned product obsoletions, mountains of unsold goods, and the strain it puts on our world. Also, the documentary is narrated by an AI assistant named Sasha, which further symbolizes the corporate detachment.
When I started Detach With Love, I made it my mission to create a different narrative. In college, an environmental class forever changed my view of the world, inspiring me to bring sustainability into fashion. With Detach With Love, I curate pre-owned luxury pieces from the world’s top designers; items that are timeless, well-crafted, and meant to be cherished for far longer than a season.
As Black Friday approaches, Buy Now! is a timely reminder to reconsider our relationship with consumption. Before you shop for something new, I encourage you to:
- Watch this documentary and share it with others
- Explore Detach with Love's collection of pre-loved luxury pieces
- Consign your items with us to give them a second life.
Bisous,
Marie-Charlotte
