Loro Piana, an Italian luxury fashion brand owned by French conglomerate LVMH, has been placed under judicial administration for one year by a Milan court. The court found that Loro Piana failed to prevent subcontractors from exploiting migrant workers, including the use of clandestine workshops. Prosecutors highlighted that the company outsourced production to firms that exploited laborers, with reports indicating that some garments sold for up to 2,000 euros were produced under such conditions. This move follows broader scrutiny of labor practices within the Italian luxury sector. Loro Piana is known for its high-end cashmere products, with some coats retailing for tens of thousands of dollars, while suppliers and farmers involved in the supply chain reportedly live in poverty. The judicial oversight aims to address these labor exploitation issues and enforce greater accountability within the brand's supply chain management.
