Fair point. The clothing tends to be Bangladesh/Vietnam etc like a lot of other retailers. Hardly anything locally manufactured or made in a country with equivalent wages or labour rights including some sources which have been accused of modern slavery practices (eg China Uyghyer camps).

I would prefer higher quality and ethical labour practices but I couldn't afford higher prices so I shop there anyway. We have to keep the share holders happy.
