Tala Siraj’s Thrifting Trip Causes Arguments Online: Ethical or Not?
Tala Siraj, known for her bold fashion choices and vibrant online presence, recently shared a video of her thrifting trip to Souq Al-Jum’a, sparking heated debates across social media. In the video, Tala showcases affordable fashion finds, but the content quickly divided opinions, with some praising her efforts and others criticizing her actions.
The Backlash
While some fans applauded Tala for highlighting budget-friendly fashion and giving the second-hand market a new shine, others took issue with the way she approached it. Critics pointed out the disparity between her luxurious outfit and her visit to a budget-conscious market, calling it “tone-deaf.” Many expressed concern that such videos could drive up prices in places like Souq Al-Jum’a, making it harder for people who rely on second-hand goods to shop affordably.

On the other hand, many of Tala’s fans praised her for bringing attention to a market that often flies under the radar. They argued that her showcasing the affordable finds in a stylish way aligns perfectly with her “Amman street fashion” persona and helps make thrifting cool and accessible to a wider audience.
Some followers even took the opportunity to poke fun at the situation, joking that they had already bought everything at the market.
Tala’s Response
In response to the criticism, Tala addressed the issue with a message, explaining that her sweater was vintage and had been passed down from her mother. She further clarified that she didn’t feel the need to justify herself to people commenting aggressively, adding, “To each his own.”
The Debate Continues
As the discussion continues to unfold online, the question remains: is it ethical to showcase thrifting in such a way, or does it risk gentrifying these second-hand markets? The debate is complex, with valid points on both sides. What’s clear is that Tala’s influence is undeniable, and her ability to stir conversation shows the power of social media in shaping how we perceive fashion and sustainability.
