Sweat Shops

Does anyone know of any clothing companies that don't use sweat shop produced goods?

Ethical consumer (http://www.ethicalconsumer.org) is a good magazine for this sort of thing. There might be a back issue dealing with the type of clothing you're after.

I'd love to know myself so if you find out any info or web site, let us know.

Did you know ....

5 years ago. 90% of M & S clothes were made in UK and 10% abroad. Now it's the other way round and this is due to fall further as Marks & China are set to cut costs further.

Hi Rosie

Try the UK no sweatshop campaign site for info. Garments should have a label in them saying where they are made, but I think that the World Trade Organisation has again acted in the interests of no-one except big business by making that optional. Avoid GAP because they're pretty bad for sweatshops.

I wouldn't touch GAP with a bargepole...especially as I don't own one...

hey, Gap are great!

Try Howies. Those guys are great.

Order a catologue on-line and there's loads of stuff in there about the way they work and run things.

Really good quality products, and a geat company to deal with by all accounts.

If you buy tailor made you won't have any guilt
