High fashion at a bargain – that’s what savvy shoppers want, right?

But what if you could see the conditions under which the super cheap clothes are made with your own eyes? Would you still snap up the bargain?

An experiment to mark Fashion Revolution Day did just that by confronting people with the production conditions of a cheap T-shirt.

Documented in a fascinating video, a bright turquoise vending machine is placed right in the middle of Alexanderplatz in Berlin that offers unsuspecting shoppers a T-shirt costing two euros (£1.40).
