"made by slaves" is a selling point now, i guess?
@animeirl That's disgusting :/.
re LB: "it's alright, they're bad people who deserve slavery!" ... 😱
@animeirl It was made by (slave) Women! It's empowering! We're giving them jobs!
@Brightlady_Lise MORE👏 FEMALE👏 PRISON👏 LABORERS
@animeirl It's like capitalism tried to do that thing where you buy from local artisans to support the community but was too cheap to pay for the work of actual artisans- so human rights violations it is.

@animeirl

ugh

I had a look at their website and thought it was trolling but I guess not

also, carcel means prison in Spanish (in case it wasn't gross enough already)

@animeirl "made by incredible slvaes"*

CARCEL

Copenhagen based fashion label, produced by women in prison and made from 100% natural materials.

@animeirl
Referring to imprisoned laborers as "incredible women" is peak neoliberalism

@animeirl
In fact the details of the economic arrangement are kept outside the FB ad. the company can always claim the workers are being compensated fairly. A claim that feels intentionally dubious.

the ad has done its job -- gotten eyeballs on the brand name and logo without paying for Facebook for additional views.

Advert by by carcel.co: “Our new silk line from Thailand is made by incredible women in the prison in Chiang Mai.”
@animeirl
This is so much fucked up…
@animeirl
This got even worse when I noticed the company's name CARCEL is PRISON in spanish or sth.... for fuuck's sake
