CustomerMessage: I'm interested in you broderie anglaise blouse, please can you advise where these are manufactured I'm trying to avoid China. Thank you. 12 Jul 2024, 10:24 All NaturalsDear J.R. We understand that you are interested to know the origins of one particular product we offer in our online shop All Naturals. As you didn't point at the exact product details, so our reply is valid in general, for all our products. It is our guess that you are British based customer. We trade and are active globally, not only in Britain, so for our British based customers, we always explain that Britain doesn't have cotton fields and cotton industry, nor Britain has sericulture and silk production to obtain silk fibres for the fashion industry, and also, Britain imports literally everything at one point of the fashion production process or another. We suggest that you do your own research about the British fashion industry, if you doubt our answer. We do make significant effort to trace the origins of our products, but there is no such standard and requirement to force and engage the global producers to offer such information in such details. If they provide it voluntarily, then we refer to it in our online shop. There is no such legal and enforced obligation also for the British based fashion producers. Most of them do not provide it. When such information about the origins of the material and the origins of the labour involved is available, we state it in the product page. We are regularly doing research and conduct checks, and before offering a product in our online shop, we make sure that the product is not fast fashion production, is not produced in dodgy and illegal sweatshops, is the best quality for this price range, and is produced according to the highest established international industry standards. For all interested customers, we offer a monthly newsletter with research about natural materials used in the fashion industry, the industry standards involved, the latest news in the ethical fashion industry, regular information about the statistics and data involved in the fashion industry, as well as our newest arrivals and latest products added to our collections. Our newsletter is packed with data and research results, so you can follow the mainstream fashion news and find your way in the modern world dynamics. We are also aware that all British based businesses import their products in Britain at one stage of the fashion production line or another, including labour, without exclusion. Exclusion is not possible, and we explained why - because Britain doesn't have such industry, which offers production of cotton fibres, silk fibres, ramie fibres, linen (flax) fibres, bamboo fibres, hemp fibres, etc. We suggest that you turn to the British government and ask them why Britain doesn't have industry and production sovereignty. We believe they know the answer better. Also ask them, on our behalf, why the British fashion market is drowned in synthetic fibres products, as our All Naturals mission is to offer availability of natural fibres, and combat the global synthetics fast fashion market, which does use modern slave labour and sweatshops. Are you with us on this mission? Britain does have wool production industry, but the British wool availability is not enough even for the British domestic needs, and its price is significantly above the global market's price. We suggest that you turn to certified British wool producers, if you are interested to buy British wool products. This advice though, cannot be applied in the case of other fibres production, so we suggest you ask other British based brands the same question and consider their answers. Then you can compare and decide which British based brand can offer you full tracing of the product and labour origins, and are you able to pay their price tags. We wish you all the best with it. We are happy that you just started to do your own research and know your options in the fashion world. We hope this advice helps.

EditorialThank you, Customer Support. We in All Naturals have a vision, to support organic farming and farming in general, as the opposite of the plastic fast fashion production, entirely in the hands of big and totalitarian corporations, ruling over the global market in monopolies and acting against the end customer and the nature. We do not believe in racist theories that China that or this, Chinese people work as everybody else in the world for their wages, and their wages are not really high, so why the racism? The business issue is that what is offered on the market, global or local, after price tagging and consideration about its value and availability, leaves very limited options for the little businesses like us who are not part of the corporate totalitarian world. And All Naturals is not a corporation, which is good, in our eyes. We have a vision to share and we work for this vision to happen. Our vision is in support of genuine people, farmers and people who work hard, to deliver certain values to the end customer. Our vision is also in support of preserving the nature worldwide. As long as we can bring such positive results to our customers and the world, we consider our goal and our vision to be the right one. We also genuinely don't want to engage with politics and political agendas, racism and victimising whole nations. Please consider our vision when shopping with us. Please do not force us to single out whole markets, nations or groups of people. Please understand that all we want to do is to care for the nature and the mankind. Please support the farming and the production of genuine and natural fibres products, not the opposite corporative abuse of the nature and the mankind. Kind regards, Owner of All Naturals 18 July 2024 | ||
We in All Naturals provide for you some documentaries about the fashion industry, which you can see following further down the webpage, as supportive research material and answers to your questions, and suggest that you watch these and understand the fashion industry issues, all of them stemming from the policies of the big corporations, who impose totalitarian and monopoly type of control and influence on the market, and do not feel shy to lie and manipulate the public about their business endeavors and deeds. It is impossible to trace back the origins of the material used, as the material changes hands many times, and crosses borders, escaping international rules and regulations. Moreover, the governments themselves, participate, support and help the big corporations in their business initiatives, and stamp these initiatives as legal, although there is nothing ethical or legal in these, but they are labeled as such, and marketed to the public and the end customers as such. The shiny and expensive labels you see in the big corporations' chain stores or malls, are not really a guarantee that the garment you buy is ethically produced, nor are guarantee that the labour used is not forced, or slave labour. The label is a marketing tool, and has no verified tracing and tracking back to the genuine origins of the product. There is no legal, verified and standardised procedure to provide tracing of the origins of any end point product on the global or national markets. We will repeat this: There is no legal, verified and standardised procedure to provide tracing of the origins of any end point product on the global or national markets. Tracing of the origins of the product is voluntarily provided, if it is done at all. The chain of fashion production is interested that the end customer never knows the truth and the facts. The governments participate these lies, and also, are not interested to let you know the truth. We do understand how confusing is this for you, the end customers. We feel the same. What we eat, breathe and wear, has direct impact on our health and wellbeing, so it is worth to follow the newsletter and even do further research about such issues. In this war of interests, we take the side of the genuine workers and producers of goods, the farmers and the factory workers, who sincerely and wholeheartedly do it to produce for you, and put their hearts in their work. They are the most victimised in this process of huge corporation monopoly and abuse. This abuse of human rights happens globally, and it is not isolated in one single country. Many believe it happens only in China - no, this is not true. It happens globally, and there is no such country to make exclusion. Corporations are global, and have a globalist agenda, and they happily demonstrate it globally. No such country to be excluded from their tentacles. Please do not victimise China alone, it happens literally in your own country, under your nose. Then the end customers come in the end of the production line, also being victimised and abused, as they are forced to consume the corporations' policies and monopolies and are not allowed to protest, ask questions, know and understand, moreover, to influence or have the word about it. We take the side of the end customers as well, just like we do it for the farmers and the workers. All we do is trying to connect these two sides and cut off the corporations' monopoly. The world suffers more than enough from the big totalitarian corporations' abuse of human rights and their monopolies and superpowers. The world we live in, the nature, the flora and the fauna, the oceans, and the human kind, we all suffer. Who is the villain in this story, what do you think? is it China? is it Chinese? is it Vietnamese, or Indians? is it national at all? Kind regards, Owner of All Naturals 23 July 2024 |
The following investigating documentaries about the fashion world and fast fashion production, are concerning the British based customers, who believe that Britain doesn't have these problems, and China is the only country in the world being problematic. This chapter is our reply to our customers, who always point at China and believe China is their personal problem and they want to avoid it. But, avoiding China, brings you where? in even worse place....called Britain. Britons, are you aware what really goes on in your own country? |
