Supposedly, met the son of a higher up in Armani, in college. He told us about how their jeans cost something like $2.50 (in the early 2000s) to make in an exploited factory in Bangladesh, and how everyone who would buy their jeans for $100 (or more) a pop was an idiot. They were making out like bandits and paying their workers next to nothing.

Luxury items made by exploited workers. What a surprising find.

Wow I’m so surprised. I thought for sure such expensive luxury items would be made by craftsman. To think, all that profit going directly to the company and not the workers… Just shocking.

More surprised it was exploited workers in Italy and not some outsourced labor in another country like India or China
