Hi Specktra guys and gals!
With regards to makeup many of us are concerned about getting green and/or cruelty free cosmetics and skincare, but I haven't come across anything on Specktra about ethical clothing/accessory/handbags. This week in Forbes there was an article about the Conflict Handbags made by Michael Kors, DKNY, Burberry, Kate Spade, and Coach. Specifically, "workers complained they were forced to stand during 12-hour shifts with only two toilet breaks, forbidden to drink water while on the job".
This really bothers me, especially because I see so many of these purses around the city everyday. Now and in the future I will not buy any one of these products and not use any of these items that I currently have until I hear that the situation has changed. As I see it, using these bags is a form of advertisement since the styles alone, in the rare absence of obnoxious logo'ing, are so recognizable.
