Have you suffered any personal health repercussions you suspect may have been caused by your fashion purchases?

Research has shown that synthetic fabrics, particularly from fast fashion retailers, are often treated with a range of hazardous chemicals – including dyes containing heavy metals such as lead, antimicrobial agents, and anti wrinkle treatments – that can cause allergic reactions such as skin irritation or respiratory issues in some people.

If you have had an allergic reaction, or more serious health effects, that you suspect have been caused by your clothes we want to hear from you. We want to know what kinds of clothes caused the effect, where you got them from, and whether you faced any longer term impacts. Did you have to seek medical help? Has it changed the way you now approach shopping for clothes?
