Who makes the clothing we wear and in what conditions?
As consumers, we have become increasingly conscious about our purchases, channeling the power of our vocalized objections to make a positive difference for the people involved in the making of our clothes and goods.
Our decisions do make a difference and by supporting brands that are doing their part we can contribute in a positive way and show to corporations that as consumers this adds values to our lives.
