Hello all,
I'm slowly preparing for my first Camino and I've hit a bit of a moral issue. It feels kind of wrong for me to go on the Camino journey for religious and spiritual purposes and wear clothing made in some sweatshop in China or in Bangladesh.
Despite all my internet research, all I find are "sustainable", "environment-friendly" brands (the new trendy hip marketing keywords). I haven't found any brand or store that even pretends to offer decent work conditions and pay living wages to its workers.
While I simply don't have the financial capability to wear ethically produced clothes in everyday life, I would be willing to make a small investment for the Camino. I would be very grateful if someone here on the forum could share a brand they know can be trustworthy in that regard.
In case this helps, I live in Germany.
Thank you all in advance!
