Der Geschäftsführer war letztens bei Lage der Nation (der Podcast) im Interview. War recht hörenswert.

Das habe ich auch explizit im Text erwähnt
Funny, I knew the company because of some trouble the CEO and officials had (YouTube link) and the follow up.
But yea. I just ordered my first pullover last month.
The CEO (not sure if I would call him like that) is pretty much a German meme at this point. There are so many clips of him going absolute crash out about officials with the sharpest of the sharpest pencils making his life harder.
Wir können nicht alle mit nem Chai-Latte in Berlin in nem Coworking-space sitzen und die 10. Dating-App entwickeln. Ü
Sowas zum Beispiel.
CEO is nothing more than an Geschäftsführer…
Fair enough
This one is also Chief Rant Officer (CRO) or Chief Rage Officer 🥴
Also their clothes are way more expensive than child labour wares.
Quality is ok though. But who can afford a 200 Euro jacket?
Everyone if capitalism wasn't race to the bottom. A jacket for 30 € is only possible because there are people being paid a fraction of the price as wage.
Paying people a livable wage (16€/h + bonuses according to the owner) has it's price.
I rather buy one expensive, but ethical, durable, and European piece of clothing, than 5 or 10 fast fashion pieces that fall apart after the first wash.
A middle ground exists.
This. Rather buy one 200 euro jacket that lasts 5+ years, if not longer than one 30 euro jacket that last 6 months.
People buy oversized cars all the time over here in Germany, and half of the population is running around in 200 euro outdoor jackets.
The answer is: A lot of people can, and they do.
The head of the company is somewhat known in Germany for his rant about bureaucracy.
Cool, didn't know about that one!
Oh noble sheep... we eat your babies. We use your brain... to fight off rabies. But the most beautiful gift you give us... is wool.
They're still animal products. They may be less exploitative for the humana involved, but the animals are still exploited.
