To be incredibly disappointed by Mumsnet featuring Boohoo in the ‘swears by’ email?

I love ‘Swears By’, but I’m so disappointed by Mumsnet featuring a Boohoo product in today’s email after the revelations about the working conditions in their supply chain.

Lots of garment workers are women, and mums and it seems unconscionable that Mumsnet are giving them such publicity.

I know you could say that if posters are talking about Boohoo that it’s there on the site anyway, but I think Mumsnet choosing to feature them in a mailout is another thing entirely.

What do you think?

And what say you, Mumsnet HQ?

Anyone who’s voted YABU care to say why? I’m genuinely interested.

How is Boohoo any different to the vast majority of clothing companies that use those supply chains? Completely agree that it’s dreadful, but Boohoo is just a drop in the ocean Sad

Sure, but (a) we know about them now, so why promote them and (b) some clothing companies don’t use such supply chains.
