Purchased a merino and cashmere knitted Jumper just noticed that hidden on the underneath reverse of the garment label in small type is MADE IN CHINA !!. See attached photo. I also checked on the label of a down Jacket that I purchased last week for my wife, again MADE IN CHINA in tiny letters. Yesterday I receive an e-mail from Schoffel telling me ‘the story of schoffel’ and saying how proud they are of their legacy. We are all aware of the appalling human rights abuses in China especially in relation to the textile trade and raw material production supply chain involving the Uighur population . Not forgetting the dreadful environmental standards in Chinese manufacturing. Is that what they mean by legacy and is certainly not something I regard as the ‘highest standard. It does not sit well with the branding and not what I would have expected from a German family company. If they were so proud of making garments in China why not put a big label on the garment and the swing tags to celebrate their manufacture in China. This problem is not solely Schoffel but much of the fashion industry is the same. Given the prices of these garments there is no excuse for sourcing from China. I have no issue with the products which are of good quality. The earlier products that I have were not manufactured in China. I guess as consumers we need to make our own choices and look more closely where our garments are sourced from and buy accordingly. Come on Schoffel you can do better.
