The 2 Euro T-Shirt - A Social Experiment

- Fashion for a bargain - that‘s what everyone wants. A T-Shirt for 2€ isn‘t inconceivable nowadays. Unfortunately, people don‘t often consider who is paying the real price. #whomademyclothes
We placed a bright turquoise vending machine, offering t-shirts for 2 Euros, at Alexanderplatz in Berlin, to test whether people would still buy it when they are confronted with the conditions in which it was produced. Eight out of ten shoppers decided against it!
24 April every year is Fashion Revolution Day which is held in memory of the 1,133 workers killed in 2013 when the Rana Plaza garment factory in Bangladesh collapsed. We need greater transparency in the fashion supply chain because we can't improve conditions or protect the environment without knowing where our clothes are made. We need to challenge brands and retailers to take responsibility for the people and communities on which their business depends. Ask the brands whose clothes you love #whomademyclothes and help start a Fashion Revolution.
If you would like to support our campaign and help to build a better future for everyone in the global fashion supply chain, please donate via the following link to help us create a Transparency Index of leading fashion brands fashionrevolution.org/get-invo... Even donating €2 will help make a difference.
Fashion Revolution is creating a series of mini videos as part of the European Year for Development. Find out more by following the hashtag #EYD2015 on social media and subscribing to our TH-cam channel.

The T-shirt is too expensive. In itself, it’s a T-shirt, a salary.
I am from Bangladesh, I witnessed the Rana Plaza collapsed in my country. All the money(14m USD) that were set on a budget to help the victims is still illegally captured by our corrupted Prime minister. I hope international media will write about it.
I feel ashamed as a Bangladeshi when I see people all around the world are aware of our loss, they share their feelings and try to help, while the govt. might have forgotten everything!!
I can't help but think of the fact: 0,13 cents vs 0 cents, having food on the table vs starving? The world is unfair yes, not buying 2 dollar t-shirts won't change that. If it's free market capitalism vs having no market at all I know what I'd choose. Judge me if you want, just being realistic.
When i read "thank you" just cried.
So we should stop buying cheap clothes so that the company that makes them will go bankrupt or just plain fire some workers there to keep the cost down, increasing the price of the t-shirts and giving the very same salary to the workers that are still there? I'm pretty sure that the ones that work in these factories don't work there because they want to. They have NO option but to work there and make these t-shirts. Donating is really nice and everything but buying their products is more important as it is raising the profit of the company and maybe the workers this way can get more salary.
Armani, Adidas, Nike and other top brands workers are also cheap workers -_- just because you guve 50 euro to 2 euro valued T-shirt, it doesn't mean you make favor to Manisha, buy cheap T'shirts and donate your money. it's much better than buying 50€ T-shirt
Usually $350 T-shirts are made for the same hands. It's better if you support your national industry.
I wonder if the people working in those factories are really helped by not buying their products? Isn't it rather an evolution which needs to happen in the country of origin instead of a boycot of products? Let's say the factory which basically enslaves these people goes bankrupt, where do these people go back to? I'm not defending anyone here, just interested in your thoughts , especialy in the thoughts of people who know the stories and might give a good explanation why a boycot might work (or why not)
Due to a decrease in the number of t-shirts sold this little girl and the other who work for the factory have been let go, there is no redundancy package and she is left jobless and unable to support her family. People care when they know.
Wow - Thank you so much for your response and overwhelming feedback!
Das Problem ist ja, dass man selbst bei einer 70€ Jeans nicht automatisch davon ausgehen kann, dass die Arbeiter(innen) auch mehr verdienen. In der Regel ist es nur die Marke, die dann das ganze zusätzliche Geld schluckt...
This is incredible, I hope there are more stands like this installed in other cities. I quit fast fashion about three years ago when I watched the documentary the TRUE COST
The reality is even the 20 Euros T Shirt is made by '' Manisha the slave '', the only diference is , it's branded in Europe or UK and sold ten times more ! :)))
I'm sure a whole lot of people just pressed on "buy". I certainly would've. About 70% of the donations will probably go to the charity, and only a small part to the people.
plot twist: everybody pushed ''buy''
What would the message be for the person who pressed the "buy" button instead of the "donate" button? Cause by pressing the "donate" button, the person gets a message saying "thank you". But if a person pressed the "buy" button, then will the message be "fuck you"?
And THAT'S why you should buy only OUR brand of t-shirts for $50! Made by elves and fairies! Totally not in sweatshops!
This video was used as the theme for a short essay on the Japanese high school entrance exam. These things are also regarded as important in Japan. Happiness comes to everyone. I want to live for that.
This is BS. These people aren't pressing "donate" because they want to do good. They probably realize they're being watched or filmed (as the whole thing is a set up) and don't want to publicly disgrace themselves by pressing "buy". You're emotionally blackmailing them to comply.
