"In her 2007 book, Deluxe: How Luxury Lost Its Luster, journalist Dana Thomas quotes an investigator who raided an assembly plant in Thailand and found children younger than ten on the floor stitching counterfeit bags. 'The owners had broken the children's legs and tied the lower leg to the thigh so the bones wouldn't mend,' the investigator said. 'He did it because the children said they wanted to go outside and play.'" - Atlanta Magazine, May 2008.
This is the kind of article I wish I had read before I became a fake handbag fanatic in south Thailand.
