April 22nd - 29th marks Fashion Revolution Week, which is an annual campaign bringing together the world’s largest fashion activism movement for seven days of action.
This year marks 10 years since the Rana Plaza tragedy. On 24 April 2013, the Rana Plaza factory building in Bangladesh collapsed in a preventable accident. More than 1,100 people died and another 2,500 were injured, making it the fourth largest industrial disaster in history. During Fashion Revolution Week, we are #RememberingRanaPlaza and the lives lost, and demand that no one dies for fashion.
On this solemn 10th anniversary of the Rana Plaza tragedy, Tales by Solid reaffirms our unwavering commitment to ethical and sustainable practices in the fashion and homeware industry.
