Remembering the Rana Plaza Collapse: A Day for Reflection and Action

Today, April 24th, marks the tragic anniversary of the 2013 Rana Plaza collapse in Bangladesh, an event that shook the foundations of the fashion industry and reminded us of the urgent need for meaningful change. At Captain Denim, we take this day to honor the victims and express our commitment to safety, ethics, and sustainability in fashion.

A reminder of the consequences of fast fashion

The Rana Plaza collapse was a tragedy that claimed the lives of more than 1,100 people and injured thousands more, most of them garment workers. This disaster exposed the dangerous and exploitative conditions in which many fashion workers are forced to labor to meet the insatiable demand of fast fashion.

A call for responsibility and transparency

Fashion shouldn't cost human lives or the environment. Throughout our history, we've manufactured ethically and transparently in all our operations, from the selection of materials to the working conditions in our factory.

A day for action

The day of the Rana Plaza collapse is a reminder that there is still much work to be done in the fashion industry. It is a day to reflect on our role as consumers and to demand real and lasting change in the way fashion is produced and consumed. It is a day to advocate for justice, dignity, and respect for all those who make the clothes we wear possible.
