Yes skinfit is pricey but they do some time do a half price sale which is worth keeping an eye out for on their Instagram.
After shipping and import tax it does workout expensive but they are very different to the like of aliexpress and wish. Firstly they are independent business who make their own products and need to pay for material, sewing machines, electrics as well as paying themselves for their time.
As for aliexpess wish or any other similar sites their stuff is made in huge factory who pay low wages or use forced labour or slavery which was recently highlighted in a channel four documentary in the UK.
I WILL recommend skinfit.
I’m in the softlines consumer products industry…what I do for a living so their prices aren’t too far off what small businesses need to be charging to run their operation and make a slight profit in this day in age.
This is not a mass manufacturing company…they don’t have much stock inventory. They don’t sell wholesale for other stores to carry either because of how they make their goods. Everything is custom made to order basically by hand, not huge machines like matman uses for mass production.
I’m sorry you have such an issue with the price and I get it but I have yet to find another company besides n2n who still are using materials that are close to classic 80s spandex.
If you’re into basic cuts: thongs, briefs, shorts, tights and singlets…then yes, you can find cheaper but if you’re looking for more interesting garment offerings, styles and cuts like socks, bodysuits, shirts, etc. I highly recommend skinfit.
