She began to read the fabric content labels before purchasing new clothes, she said. And she noticed something. So many of the clothes in her closet and offered by retailers where she shops were made out of fabric containing polyester. “Once you know better, it’s like your eyes are opened up to the fact that there’s just so many poorly made clothes out there,” she said. She’s one of many consumers on social media becoming curious …
