American Apparel

At American Apparel you can rest assured that your purchases are not contributing towards exploitation. In fact, the company’s garment workers are the highest paid in the world, meaning that the brand guarantees 100% sweatshop-free clothing. All items are crafted at its 1.5 million ft2 facility in the United States – the largest of its kind in North America. American Apparel not only supports human rights by helping people and manufacturing locally, but it believes in environmental sustainability. Most of its manufacturing waste is recycled, solar panels are employed, and as of 2016, the company has been virtually landfill-free. Its slogan, ‘Designed, Cut and Sewn in Downtown Los Angeles’, describes its mission and wholehearted commitment to social responsibility.
