Little Boots Joins Campaign Against Fashion Sweatshops
Little Boots is speaking out against high street shops here in Britain that use sweatshops to produce cheap clothes.
Little Boots has joined the 'War On Want' campaign, speaking out against high street shops here in Britain that use sweatshops to produce cheap clothing.
Speaking to Scottish newspaper the Daily Record she has said: "I support the campaign against sweatshops. It's awful for anyone who is not being paid minimum wage and work their backsides off. It is terrible that these sweatshops exist in Britain. The clothes aren't the problem because they are cheaper and you can't blame people for getting bargains.
It is the manufacturers who need to make sure there are proper conditions for their workers. Look at shops like Oasis, who do everything above board and pay workers good wages and overtime. If they can do it, why can't everybody?"
She added: "I get my clothes from new designers and get them custom made. My favourite designers include Alexander McQueen and Marc Jacobs." Maybe she should have left that last bit out, eh?
According to the 'War On Want' campaign, notable sweatshop users include Primark, Asda and Tesco. Check their website for more information.
