Free People is the bohemian banner of URBN, a $6 billion conglomerate. URBN refused to sign either post-Rana Plaza safety agreement, and Free People has a documented pattern of copying independent designers' work.
The Big Picture
Free People is a wholly owned banner of URBN, which refused both the binding Bangladesh Accord and even the weaker Alliance after Rana Plaza — an outlier failure at the industry's most critical safety moment. Good On You rates People 1/5, the lowest possible, and the brand has a documented pattern of copying independent designers' work. A record $1.6 billion year answers to URBN shareholders, not to the suppliers no agreement protects.
