AllSaints- Not For Sale Range.
Are we naïve enough to think
that our poorly and cheaply manufactured clothes have been produced in a fair
working environment? Or just a selfish
society that cares more about our looks, than looking after other people on
this earth who are being treated unfairly?
‘Not For Sale’ is an organisation which aims to stop human trafficking
and AllSaints have joined the campaign. AllSaints have produced a clothing
range in association with this organisation and are putting profits towards the
cause/promoting awareness.
Social media and the use of PR are a major
contributing factor to how established a campaign becomes. The ‘Not For Sale’ range was featured in both
Wonderland and Six magazine in 2011, which helped boost publicity. By featuring the clothing range on both the
website and in the magazine, they managed to target a more diverse audience and
advertised the range. In both cases, it
was a positive review in the form of a feature, as opposed to a feature
promoting and endorsing prices of the products and selling the brand to
us.
Adrienne from ‘Not For Sale’
said: ‘100% of the proceeds from the sale of the All Saints line have been able
to be put towards these projects overseas through our online store. We have
been able to engage businesses (such as All Saints) to assist with creating ethical
supply chains that have a zero-tolerance policy towards human-trafficking’,
when asked about the collaboration of the two prestigious names.
