Broken zipper? France will pay to get it fixed

My puppy chewed on my three month old Uniqlo hoodie's zipper. Instead of buying another one, I bought a replacement zipper and took it to a seamstress to repair it. I think I spent about 18 Euro. She did an amazing job and I felt better about spending my money at a local haberdashery and artisan instead of repurchasing another hoodie from the multi-national company and throwing away an almost new damaged hoodie.
Fast forward 6 months and the puppy chewed up the new zipper! I'll be going back to repair it again...The more we can keep tailors in business the better.

So there are a few thoughts I have about this.

1. While well intentioned, the tax on clothing manufacturers will just be passed down onto buyers, making clothes more expensive.
2. The increased cost on clothing is actually beneficial as it then makes repairing cheaper than buying new, as the article mentioned people have noticed it is cheaper to buy than repair
3. If clothes are more expensive, and if the subsidy is not enough, is this something that disproportionately affects the poor?
4. The idea of subsidizing repairs just brings good publicity to repair shops, as it is something most people probably do not think or know about
5. The tax brings up the environmental impact on fast fashion, something most people do not think about. I am annoyed that my clothes are not lasting long, but I have never considered the other costs of that besides my own bank account
