Review on Vakkest by Brian Rivera

Disappointing Sustainable Business Organization

Because I am someone who is concerned about the environment, I was very interested in trying out Vakkest, a business that promotes itself as being sustainable and eco-friendly. Nevertheless, I feel obligated to share that my interactions with them were largely underwhelming. First of all, their prices are completely unreasonable! Although I am aware that businesses that follow ethical and environmentally responsible business practices may charge higher prices, Vakkest brings the concept to an entirely new level. I was only able to afford a single item from their website, so buying a complete outfit was out of the question. And while the standard of their clothing is acceptable, there is nothing particularly noteworthy about it. When dealing with a business that charges such high prices for their wares, I anticipated much more from them. In addition to this, they do not have a very large collection to choose from; I had hoped they would have a broader variety of both styles and colors. However, the so-called dedication that they have made to being transparent is really what grinds my gears. When you take a deeper look, you see that all of their claims about being open and honest about their procedures are nothing but smoke and mirrors. They talk a big game about it, though. I looked for information about where they get their materials and how they make their products, but everything I found was fairly generic and lacking in specificity. In general, I would not suggest Vakkest to anyone seeking for clothing that is kind to the environment. There is a plethora of competition in the market that includes businesses that provide choices of higher quality and lower cost. Put that cash to better use and go shopping somewhere else!

Pros
  • dedication to transparency and sustainability teaching
Cons
  • lack of knowledge of production techniques
