One of the giants of ready-to-wear, H&M, finds itself at the heart of the controversy. An employee of the large chain leaked information that was catastrophic for the image of the brand. Indeed, the chain of stores has internally announced the destruction of hundreds of thousands of sweaters.
“This week, we received a large quantity of this product, starts the employee, The quantity of these sweaters that we received, times the number of stores in France, Belgium and Luxembourg, equal the number of products that will be destroyed “, explains the employee to Mr. Globalization, an independent and free media, which relayed the disaster on its Facebook page.
And all this waste for what? A simple spelling mistake …
Then, the employee protests to see that at this time, such errors are still possible. “Obviously, we have to send them back to be destroyed. Under the status ‘to destroy’. I don’t know how this kind of mistake can still happen. Because, ok, the children who sewed this in Bangladesh did not realize the spelling mistake (cynicism), but there must still be someone who validated this product, a translator, well I don’t know, I don’t know anymore … “
