Why Sabyasachi is going to loose luxury status

If there is one fashion designer who can be crowned as the heir to Indian couture, the only person who comes to mind is Sabyasachi Mukherjee. Known as the master of aesthetics, he has not only revolutionized the industry with the essence of his artistry but is also celebrated on the global stage.

H&M comes with a hazy past. From unfair workplace environments to unethical production, collaboration has surprised many. Not that the retail chain is any different from other mass-production houses, but Sabyasachi's idea of ​​demoralizing all its labels has certainly raised eyebrows.

According to a report by Good On You, “In 2018, the factories that supply H&M were named in a Global Labour Justice report detailing abuses of female apparel workers. Labour rights organizations such as the Clean Clothes Campaign pointed out that H&M has not fulfilled its 2013 promise of paying 850,000 workers living wages by 2018.

Possibly the Indian luxury icon sells to a fast fashion house known for its unethical business practices, poor quality tailoring, and plastic fibers, which is clearly a disservice to the Indian fashion industry.
