It is! they have sweatshops in third world countries producing crochet pieces!This is dumb now that I think about it... but I heard that crochet can only be handmade. Like, knitting machines exist but not crochet machines. So, seeing crochet garments as fast fashion I'd really concerning
The big companies started it up because of crochet trending on tiktok!
The only thing we can do is not support it! If you want a crochet piece you're going to need to find an independent artist but they've got Pitfall traps on Etsy!
the third world countries are producing the crochet pieces and selling them at a major discount and then displaying themselves as real artists on Etsy!
The price is going to be your dead giveaway!
I've seen so many crochet artists have their original designs stolen buy these big companies and then sold as the original!
In competition with the real artist!
