Over the top glitter, big bold bright colours, accessories that stand out above other brand names.. I was shocked when i read that Monsoon uses child labour!
Over the past few weeks Monsoon has been accused of using suppliers in India who employ children to work in sweat shops working in poor conditions and being paid under minimum wage. When i read this article on Monsoon supplying 'handmade' clothing made by children? I was shocked by the allegations made againstMonsoon. In my eyes has always had a outstanding reputation for the quality of garments and was disappointed in the store as i have always been happy to pay a higher price tag for the Monsoon label. Critics have said that it's a 'embarrassment for the store'
Company Owner Peter Simon owns about 1000 stories in 50 countries including 400 in the UK and has said vast improvements are being made to tackle the problem of child labourers. Monsoon website boasts ' the intrinsic beauty of fabrics' if the fabrics are so beautiful why treat children so badly?
