The Best Clothing Brands Made in Sweatshops

Fast-fashion retailer Forever 21 is based in Los Angeles. As a result of Forever 21’s use of sweatshops, many consumers have already boycotted the company. Three-quarters of Forever 21’s clothing is made in the United States. Their workers are being accused of working in sweatshops, being underpaid, and not being compensated for overtime. In addition, Forever 21 employs children in cotton farms in Uzbekistan. Education is neglected when children work on farms instead of going to school.

Nike is one of the most popular and well-known clothing brands in the world. They have been accused of using sweatshops to produce their garments, but they have denied these allegations.

H&M is another very popular clothing brand. They have also been accused of using sweatshops to produce their garments. H&M has denied these allegations and said that they have strict standards for their factories. They have also said that they do not allow any child labor or forced labor.

Gap is a very popular clothing brand, but they have been accused of using sweatshops to produce their garments. Gap has denied these allegations and said that they have strict standards for their factories. They have also said that they do not allow any child labor or forced labor.

Formerly a fast-fashion brand that relied on child labor, Uniqlo is now a Japanese casual wear designer and retailer that instead uses forced labor to manufacture its products in Asian developing countries. Uniqlo factory workers are paid very low wages, and work excessive hours seven days a week, and the company couldn’t care less. By using cheap labor from Bangladesh, Indonesia, and China, Uniqlo can pad its profits by squeezing every last drop out of these hapless workers. The United Nations have guiding principles for companies to prevent human rights abuses committed in their supply chains– but alas, Uniqlo has shown that it couldn’t care less about them.

Primark, I feel is the best among them all. I have personally used it and often on foreign tours I get Aborad labelled clothes from this brand for my relatives. They are cheap and reasonably durable. Quality is not the best but certainly justified for the price. Infact, footwear are sometimes as good in quality as some other popular brands.
