"""A thoughtful, ultimately hopeful look at how our choices about something as mundane as jeans can alter the lives of people 10,000 miles away."" -- Fast Company ""Contains a number of surprises about the most ubiquitous of clothes... Ultimately Snyder gets readers to think about the real costs of clothing, and it's likely they won't look at $30 or $200 jeans the same way again."" -- Kathryn Masterson - Chicago Tribune"

...an accessible insight into the intricate connections underlying global economies and the limitless desires of the western consumer. Royce Mahawatte, Financial Times ...Snyder is a fine reporter who, uncommonly, does her best listening when her interviewees go off-topic... New Statesman ...a highly pertinent view of the fashion world today... may well point to the future of fashion writing... The Guardian
