This is a YouTube short titled "Why this Fashion Designer Quit Working with Global Brands #fashiondesigner #sustainability #shorts" (uploaded 2025-07-31). It contains a first-person monologue by a fashion designer explaining they left or stopped working with global brands because manufacturers, suppliers, owners and shareholders resisted sustainable practices; the speaker frames the decision as choosing to either design according to their principles or stop.

Sustainability is not something that they really care about because it's usually not financial. It's not waste of money. Manufacturers doesn't like it. Suppliers doesn't like it. The owners and the shareholders say something, don't interrupt me with your sustainability. At some point, just couldn't do it anymore. I left my profession, something my desire, my passion, something that I love. Either continue designing bags, but according to my beliefs, according to my principles. Or just stop designing.
