Amixed-methods approach was used in this study. Six experts from the main brands in the fashion industry inTürkiye were interviewed. A total of 268 questionnaires were collected from Turkish consumers, and theirresponses were analyzed. The theory of planned behavior (TPB) informed the theoretical framework of thisstudy. The main components of the TPB were extended to include perceived consumer effectiveness. Athematic analysis was conducted to analyze and code the interviews. To test the hypotheses, structuralequation modeling (SEM) was conducted. The findings show that the key factors of the TPB, i.e., attitudes(ATTs), subjective norms (SNs), and perceived behavioral control (PBC), as well as perceived consumereffectiveness, significantly impact the intentions of Turkish consumers to purchase sustainable fashion.However, the results highlight some inconsistencies, gaps, and barriers that discourage the purchase intentionsof consumers, including a lack of information, misinformation, greenwashing, green skepticism, a lack of trust,and the high cost of sustainable fashion.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSustainable FashionTurkish Fashion BrandsFast FashionTheory of Planned BehaviorArticle10.20944/preprints202405.2037.v1
