Credit Crunch- at first I thought that the economic crisis could have been mainly hype but seeing how things have gone I don’t think it is. Of course the media are playing it up a bit but massive rises in fuel bills and petrol are having a big effect on people- especially those already in debt.
As Shauna points out plenty of people are looking but not buying. I think this is true not only for the ethical fashion sector but many sectors including finance, property and the high street. I seem to recall that growth last month was 0%.
I think we’ll have to tighten our belts and hold on for a rough ride. I hope that small businesses can survive.

Plenty of people looking but no actual purchases.

I am almost at the conclusion that the current poor economic climate is been driven by the mainstream media ….. any thoughts on this ?
