It's nearly unavoidable. There are some obscure craftspeople that might do it, but it's not really practical to go on some spiritual trek to find whatever mountain cave they're doing it out of.

There's those hipster shops, but who knows just how ethical their supply chain really is. Sure they might put together, cut and whatever some hand bag, but did the fabric, the buttons, zippers, etc. come from some slave factory?

Maybe they have in house manufacturing for everything, but were the very raw materials clawed out of the Earth by someone​, somewhere stricken with poverty?

Add in all the chemicals and dyes to treat fabrics and materials, did they come from some minimum wage slave work farm?

I know lots of people here scoff at anyone less than white collar, but the people working in developed countries, let alone 3rd world ones, are being exploited, despite wherever victim blaming we shame upon them for being in that predicament.

And just like most I can't really say I care enough to do or say differently. Baaaaa.
