Workers’ rights are central to our “People” rating, which assess brands’ policies and practices on everything from child labour to living wages and gender equality. Here we rate Nisolo “Very Poor”. Unfortunately, Nisolo does not publish sufficient information. You have a right to know how the products you buy affect the issues you care about.

• It appears to use leather.
• It doesn’t appear to use shearling, wool, cashmere, alpaca, mohair, or down.
