Do you consider Everlane [1] to be ethical? They're based on the premise that the workers — in countries like Vietnam and Sri Lanka [2] — should be fairly compensated, and they're completely transparent about how much of the retail price goes to the factories. And yet their clothes, which in my experience are of high quality, are not expensive; they're certainly not 10 times the cost of similar clothing from, say, Uniqlo, Zara or H&M.

- omnimus 7y agoNever heard abou Everlane. Looks nice. The question is how do we know what they claim is true? There are some certificate authorities for example but i am not sure we have this stuff figured out as society.
- taylorlapeyre 7y agoI used to work there, I can confirm that they are legit about their standards. They visit their factories constantly.
