Fabric Shops in Barcelona

Many people in Barcelona want to be as self-sufficient as possible at the moment, and they do this by making the most of their resources and by not giving in to compulsive consumer behaviour occurring in a capitalist society.

One of the things people seem to have more and more trouble to participate in, is the large, cheap clothing manufacturing that profit from cheap labour from developing countries. Sometimes it even involves child labor…

Thanks to this situation, lots of people are starting to make and fix their own clothing again. This has led to a huge increase in the number of fabric shops, although this number had originally been diminished due to the fact that large multinationals were able to sell clothing at unbeatable prices.

So today, this article by ShBarcelona will tell you more about the best fabric shops in the Catalan capital.
