- Beyonce's new clothing line, Ivy Park
has come under fire recently after tabloid reports
that the line was made by workers in Sri Lanka,
who were paid only $0.64 an hour.
While Ivy Park has denied these claims,
this left us wondering about the clothes
we buy from the brands we love.
What impact do our purchases have
on the people who make our clothes
and do we even know where our clothes are made?
Let's find out.
