    😂😂😂Dang. Not one wash. I couldn't bring myself to go to Primark. Good video. After this video, I'll never step foot into a Primark.

    This was something different. Since I live in a country where we don't have a Primark, I didn't even know these problems existed. I know it, but I didn't know it was this bad.

      But you likely have a cheap clothing store that is doing the exact same. H&M is a more well known example that has a long history of poor working practices, and multiple factory collapses under their belt.

    Nothing wrong with being preachy and encouraging living minimally. A £40 T-shirt seems expensive next to a £2.50 T-shirt. If people who run companies didn't try and hit rock bottom prices, and encourage spending, a £40 T-shirt that lasts years seems like a good purchase in the end.

      I agree, if something is cheap, it usually comes with a catch. One day we may have the option for decent quality and affordability. But right now £40 for a plain t-shirt is too much for most people

    No lies. Their shoes don’t even last. Plus clothes have gone cheaper.

    I think this can only be solved if the state forces companies to behave. The general public won't stop buying sweatshop clothes as long as it's cheap.

      In a capitalist society, unfortunately, I don't see that happening anytime soon. But yes, bad press doesn't stop people from buying cheap tat

    I would argue that they clothes won't stand even one wash. I have plenty of clothes bought there which I was wearing for a couple of years actually. But the fact that they are so unethical doesn't make me want to return there.

    huh, we don't really have primark here but I thrifted some stuff with their label and it's fine. Like, the quality is normal, will probably last 10 more years. Is the drop in quality something new?

      I mean, it _is_ here, but thay cannot compete with H&M or Zara
