Even if you buy from the the proper websites or stores you never no for sure if slave labour is involved. It was on watchdog last week that jane normans company has been using sweat rooms and slave labour.

No but you can GUARANTEE that if you buy from the counterfeiting websites then you will be supporting horrific practices.

True but you also can't guarantee that legit shops don't either.

I don't think this is that much of an issue for decent retailers.

Well, I have done contracts with quite a few retailers including Sainsburys and Tesco and both have extremely extensive CSR policies.

I think you are speculating. I am not sure why you cannot accept that buying counterfeit stuff comes with a virtual guarantee of unsavoury practises.

No. Primark I have. And they are clean.

Can you provide a link to prove your point that they are all knowingly working with child or slave labour?

So are they as bad as the counterfeiters? Yes or no?

Hi I wanted to provide an update on this....

i contact the webite email address, and they have provided a tracking number with a "product" that has just been released by customs. so it looks like they are sending "somthing", althought i have no idea what this will look like.

I have since purchased a pair of UGGs that are from an authorised retailer to make sure the Girlfriend has what she wants for her Birthday.

I'll provide a further update once "whatever it is" arrives...

PS. @laura.macphee221 and Equaliser123, you are both right.... so whats the problem?

Any legitimate Ugg boot retailer would have a green (for safe) rating. Like Cloggs for example:
