I really enjoyed this article as Tibi is new to me and I am trying to understand the โ€œfeverโ€. I love some of the pieces but the use of synthetic fabrics perplexes me.

Yes, I think Amy nailed the "why" behind its style and it is really very fever-like!

Great piece! Very important to stay true to yourself, your body, your lifestyle, your values.

I discovered Tibi 2 years ago and was surprised by all the nylon, especially in this time.

Even though I don't have easy access to Tibi, I felt the addiction, watched style classes, fantasized about travelling to NYC just for Tibi. Crazy ๐Ÿ˜†. During a visit to Paris I bought 2 pieces at Printemps. 2 was enough, I returned a 3rd.

About returning, I'm happy to live in Europe where we have the legal right to return online purchases.

And I also know if I will ever visit New York again, I will go to Tibi. And when Amy comes to the Netherlands (she announced i yesterday's style class), I am tempted to go there. I like many of her ideas, and her clothes have something intriguing. They push me to look different to my dressing. Whether I like them or not.

Fascinating - seems like so many of us have a Tibi story:) I agree that Tibi designs are always pushed, and it has been great to watch, especially as they share not only what but also why behind it!

Did they pay you to write this article?

Just curious itโ€™s getting harder to tell when weโ€™re being advertised to anymore.

I do use affiliate links which pay me commission if someone buys anything, but the amounts are pretty negligible compared to my lifetime spend on Tibi clothes. So probably it is more correct to say I pay them to write this article :)

From an ethical perspective, you might openly state that in your article.

Fair enough - I added a note to the post!

I do appreciate that, and the willingness to engage in this conversation without defensiveness, which is an extremely an increasingly rare quality.

Thank you - we just had a respectful conversation online on a non-trivial issue, not so common indeed :)
