Inside Italy’s designer bag sweatshops

[JohannesL]

101 East goes undercover in Italy to expose the sweatshops making bags for some of the world’s leading luxury brands.

The Italian city of Prato is a manufacturing hub for some of the world’s leading luxury brands.

But the city harbours a dark secret – sweatshops where thousands of migrants endure harsh working conditions and low wages.

In this undercover investigation, 101 East gets rare access inside the sweatshops making products for designer labels and exposes the ugly side of a $200bn industry.

Glad more of these documentaries are being made.

But the funniest part is that Al-Jazeera, the channel posting this, is state-owned propaganda owned by the very same country that used slave labor to build the 2022 FIFA world cup facilities 🤣
