The sweatshop in Napoli rather than Indonesia.

Of course greed comes into it, though I believe (based on nothing) that small (like really small) companies can’t afford greed as easily as corporations.
Vastly inflated prices compared to what? Good wages, good working conditions, good materials - what did that cost in the 1950s? Virtually everything now is vastly cheaper in relation to income in the wealthy west. In the early 70s you could buy a tv for about $500, that was two months pay back then in Canada.We just buy more shit more often.

@ColinTheBald
It also depends on whether you believe that the vastly inflated prices are due to the clothing being meticulously assembled by well-paid elves from magic dust and Unicorn faeces. Surely the prices couldn't be justified by pure greed?
Then, I am a cynic.
