PRAISE CRITICISM INFORMATION
Parkwood Topshop Athletic Ltd
Social Sweatshops in Sri Lanka
Beyonce's sportswear label Ivy Park, made in partnership with Arcadia and sold exclusively at TopShop, is reportedly being manufactured in Sri Lankan factories by grossly underpaid seamstresses working in conditions being likened to 'sweatshop slavery', such as low pay, long hours, restriction of women's movement at night and locking them in.
