Wow I’m so surprised. I thought for sure such expensive luxury items would be made by craftsman. To think, all that profit going directly to the company and not the workers… Just shocking.
Luxury items made by exploited workers. What a surprising find.
Textiles and exploited workers, name a more iconic duo.
This is being known for a long long time (think 90s and before).
Roberto Saviano’s Gomorrah is a great book where this is also explained, if anyone’s interested.
The movie is exceptional also.
And fuckall will be done about it because braindead crusters are genetically predisposed to being braindead
Hey i read this news before, it’s a classic
It wouldn’t be luxury if slavery wasnt involved
How can the laws be so lax in Italy that this would happen?
Bribery.
More surprised it was exploited workers in Italy and not some outsourced labor in another country like India or China
Supposedly, met the son of a higher up in Armani, in college. He told us about how their jeans cost something like $2.50 (in the early 2000s) to make in an exploited factory in Bangladesh, and how everyone who would buy their jeans for $100 (or more) a pop was an idiot. They were making out like bandits and paying their workers next to nothing.
