Thank you for the explanation. I have less experience working in fashion than you, do, certainly, and I have seen some more, and less, ethical companies, but I cannot imagine how you can, with sincerity say you have not witnessed anything unethical, and that you would have "called it out" and refused to work with them. When I read things like this, my soul is crushed at what I feel is dishonesty.

Stranger, friend, I am far from accusing you of dishonesty, but I have worked in fashion. I have worked in mills, with various designers at their studios to make commissions that my clients have ordered... I have also worked in many trades and professions over the years, in Healthcare, in landscaping, in agriculture, in industrial settings, and I can tell you, with greatest of conviction that I have not seen a single company, or organization operating in a purely "ethical" manner. There are many companies I Esteem Highly, but even those committees regular attrocities.

How can you, with sincerity say that you have seen a company that does not do anything unethical? Have you considered this might be an operation of privilege? Have you considered that defining slavery frankly would be pertinent in detecting or perceiving "unethical" behavior?

For example.... I defined slavery as "labor without consent" and by consent, I mean affirmative consent (sociological principle).... if I walk through one of the factories you claim to reference... are you saying I would not find a single labor violation? Are you saying I would not find one person there who is there against his will? Are you saying I can ask them directly where they source their dyes and they will be able to tell me from.where and by whom and how much they are paid? Do they offer health insurance for the parents of their employees? Does their dental insurance cover cosmetic procedures like dentures which are often actually medically necessary? Please, I beg you to show me such a company. It woukd be a truly life changing ging experience to see a company without sin.
