Is Made still trustworthy in Italy?

Made in Italy, is that still serious? 

In recent months, reports of investigations have repeatedly emerged that prove that there are production facilities in Italy that employ people without properly hiring or insuring them. Some of these companies also work for luxury brands. This immoral and antisocial behavior unfortunately exists all over the world and not only in certain Asian countries.

Greed is always reprehensible. That's why I think, for example, Made in Bangladesh or Made in India can also be a positive sign of quality, because in both of these countries there are whole areas with modern green technology, i.e. closed water cycles and sustainable production, just as there are reprehensible factories in Italy.

We at UNIT Hamburg work almost exclusively with product specialists, i.e. companies that only produce knitwear or pants themselves. We know almost all the production sites personally and are sure that everything there is above board. We regularly visit Gran Sasso (pictured), an impressive production facility, and in June we visited our shirt manufacturer Salvatore Piccolo in Naples. In Italy, companies tend to cluster around a product in certain areas. Naples, for example, is synonymous with high quality tailoring for men's clothing and shirts. Shoes from Officine Creative, Santoni and Lemargo don't just come from one place, they seem to come from one street. This means that there is a high level of craftsmanship in these areas. Only those who treat their employees well can keep them. 

You can trust us and we trust Made in Italy when we know the companies.
