I dapple in the clothes industry and sometimes it feels like people get really turned off if their clothes are not made by literal slaves. Not all expensive brands are ethical but the few dollar t-shirts etc are never. Drift it or pay for the real costs involved. If we don’t fix the idea about what basic necessities like clothes should cost the planet and people living on it are toast.


The problem with this is that there's not necessarily a relationship between price paid and lack of slave labor. At least, you can't guarantee non slave labor by paying more.
