I had feared that their prices would be high ... that's too bad. I get so excited when I find an ethical company, and then they always seem to be priced out of my reach.

I'll pay a little extra, especially if it's an item that I think I'm going to wear for years or even decades (a good sweater) but I don't understand why companies price themselves out of the range of everyone but the wealthy. For non-status items -- if you want to sell $50,000 stereos to idiots who think they need that, fine. But why overprice clothing? There has got to be a very happy medium between mall prices for mass-produced Chinese clothes and well-produced, ethical items.
