We are very proud of the brands we represent. Sol's, being a European brand, has a global dimension and produces millions of garments every year, the vast majority in developing countries in Asia.
.
There is a lot of prejudice surrounding clothing production, especially given the old scandals of Nike using child labour or the recent news about a factory that produced for Zara and H&M.
It's very easy to jump to conclusions and think that brands don't have any quality standards. However, nothing could be further from the truth. Let's take the example of Sol's.
