Pini Parma
Partly verified★ Best available in Suits & tailoring. No brand in this category is Good yet, and Pini Parma is the strongest we've rated: no serious red flags, and paying or working towards a living wage. How we pick
Pini Parma is on the right track: its goods are made in Italy, where strong labour laws and decent legal wages apply. What's missing is publishing where its products are made.
Last researched 9 October 2026
Heading in the right direction. Workers are paid enough to live on, or the company is certified as working towards it, and there are no serious warning signs. One piece is still unproven. What this grade means

- Pays a living wage
- Respects worker rights

Great: 0 of 3

- Finds and fixes problems, or invests directly in workers' communities
- Actively empowers workers
Needs all Good requirements plus two of these.
Red flags: 0
