Has Ultra Fast Fashion Ruined Thrifting?

I don’t think it’s controversial to say that Brands like Shein and Romwe have completely ruined the thrifting experience. Going thrifting and getting that rush of finding a cute piece only to see the tag is heartbreaking. I have a lot of feelings about fast fashion, mainly that it’s garbage, and i just want to buy clothes that last me my whole lifetime and look cute. When i see these cheaply made, microplastic riddled pieces at the local thrift i can’t help but feel bad for them. I know nobody will buy it because of the tag, so i will occasionally buy one if it goes on sale which they always do. But my first time i bought one of these items was by complete accident. One day i drove myself to the local thrift early in the morning to buy myself some new clothes, and I had brought my mom with me. My mom wanted to help me shop so she walked with me to the skirt section to take a look. She pulled down a very cute beige midi skirt and i immediately fell in love without even holding it. I told her to put it on the cart and i stared at it the whole ride home from the thrift. when i i had gotten home i inspected the garment. it had a very specific smell to it -Which i now recognize as the dreaded shein stench- and was paper thin. And i got curious about what the skirt was made of because of its texture. And just behind the washing instructions i saw the dreaded ‘S’, in a font any fashion girly knows and dreads by heart. I had bought Shien from my local thrift. I felt heartbroken, and i felt so ashamed i threw it under my bed for 2 days afterwards. But i learned my lesson. I now feel less ashamed about the item, and i’m wearing it as i write this. Do i wish I never bought the skirt? If im being quite honest, I wish the skirt was never made. But I know if i didn’t buy it, nobody else would. It’s not supporting Shein directly, so i’d rather have it to wear then have it end up in a landfill or god forbid the ocean. What do you guys think? I’d love to hear your experiences with fast fashion ending up in thrifts.
