FR/ Le secteur de la mode, avec celui des accessoires de décoration, est à mes yeux le pire. Le fast-fashion est limite-criminel. Pensez au Rana Plazza. Et vos chaussures de sport, elles viennent d’où? A regarder les étiquettes on en vient à se demander si en Europe nous sommes encore capables de produire des vêtements ou des chaussures!
DE/ Der Modebereich, gemeinsam mit den Dekoartikeln, sind in meinen Augen die schlimmsten Branchen. Fast-Fashion ist vor allem fast kriminell. Denken Sie an das Rana Plazza. Und Ihre Sportschuhe, wo kommen die her? Wenn man sich die Etiketten ansieht, kommt man zum Schluss, dass man in Europa nicht mehr in der Lage ist, Gewand oder Schuhe zu produzieren!
EN / The fashion sector, together with the decoration sector, are the worst industries in my opinion. Above all, fast fashion is almost criminal. Think of the Rana Plazza. And your sports shoes, where do they come from? If you look at the labels, you might conclude that in Europe, you are no longer able to produce garment or shoes!
Here’s another brand that attracts a lot of young (and not-so-young) people. To make a long story short: everything comes from China except the food products. So unless you’re buying chocolate eggs or Dutch specialties, make a big detour!
I bought from Benetton last winter and was pleasantly surprised, as most of the items were made either in Italy, Croatia or Serbia. Very few in China/Bangladesh. I went back for the new spring/summer collection and was very disappointed. Except for the knitwear, the T-shirts (Made in Europe) and the jeans (made in Tunesia), everything comes from Asia.
Very comfortable, quality shoes at a reasonable price. But are they made in Austria in this Bauhaus-style factory? According to the seller, the shoes and bags are made in Austria or Hungary. I meanwhile have the confirmation from the press office.

“I would like to answer your question regarding the production sites.
In Taufkirchen an der Pram in Upper Austria the design and prototype production departments are located. We have our main production plant in Martfü/Hungary where our shoemakers produce the wide collection. In Varazdin/Croatia – also a branch plant – further individual parts are produced.”
