@sustainablefashionfriend: The factory behind Parke’s Mocknecks and many of their “cozy” collection. These are also the items that probably sell the most from Parke (and many which can’t be returned 😅) Laite calls themselves a “one stop shop” which handles everything from sourcing fabrics to packing your finished product into branded zip bags in to cartons to ship. This type of model is common in DTC brands. While Parke used to imply that they were “better than the fast fashion basics”, they eliminated that claim from their “Story” page, which makes sense considering their supplier claims to make over 1 million garments per year in video and 3 million+ on their Alibaba page. All of that with an entire staff of 200 people….meaning their production team is less than that….which seems like entirely fast fashion numbers. Their marketing also places a lot of emphasis on speed. The factory doesn’t make any claim of a living wage, work hours etc and neither does Parke. All info is found in public import records and the manufacturer’s social media. #parke #fashiontok #fashionindustry #deepdive #sustainablefashion
I am nottttt the Parke customer so this is truly unbiased but I don’t fully understand what you’re trying to get at? Literally most brands have a manufacturing partner? Did we think the owner was like in her garage making these? Like I would understand if you found something insidious about their practices but that doesn’t seem clear from this video.

the obsession with attacking parke specifically is so weird. if we put this energy behind big corporations vs smaller brands/women that would make more sense so me. we don’t know the full story just bc someone does business overseas or you found a specific supplier. resorting to tearing them down again is weird behavior

So? Most brands have to manufacture overseas to make margins. And plenty of factories work with either high quality or low quality fabrics based on what the customer wants. This means nothing

this is definitely pretty crazy but also how else do we expect brands to create and sell clothing? Every brand we buy from has a supplier like Pacsun etc

I don’t understand why this brand is so popular. It’s criminally ugly.

So why can’t they make enough to satisfy everyone? They clearly make money and yet not everyone can get one of these sweaters. I will never pay money for someone else’s last name on my sweater.
