Affordability Assessment
💵 | Price Range: $5 - $60+
Victoria’s Secret/PINK sells undergarments and are typically more expensive than other brands on the market, with products starting at around $20 depending on the item. However, prices change with the design and style of each product, making it possible to get products at cheaper prices.
📈 | Value for Money: OK/Good
The brand prioritizes fit and style, making them a goof place to buy cute styles of clothing. However, that comes with a lack of durability and longevity, making that a sacrifice for the trendiness.
💡 | Affordability Tools
Victoria’s Secret/PINK is constantly on sale, with them having a store-wide sale semi-annually. They also participate in sales during holidays such as Black Friday/Thanksgiving.
Adaptability Assessment
🦾 | Inclusivity
Victoria’s Secret/PINK has an adaptive line made specifically for women with disabilities. The items in the line are designed to make intimates more accessible for all, with helpful features such as front clasps and smoother seams.
♿️ | Comfort
The brand is one of the few that keeps the pricing of the adaptive line similar to the pricing of their other products. The items are also very thoughtfully created, with tags and seams being removed to reduce irritation.
Sustainability Assessment
🌍 | Environmental Impact
The brand tries to incorporate more environmentally-friendly fabrics, such as Tencel and cotton. However, it does mostly rely upon polyester, a polluting fabric, and does not seem to be transitioning away from that. It is also a fast-fashion brand, meaning that it is inherently wasteful in its overproduction and high use of packaging.
🤝 | Labor Conditions
Victoria’s Secret/PINK has been continuously poor with remaining transparent on its treatment of workers, specifically in whether or not they are receiving a living wage. Products are typically sourced from countries with a history of worker abuse, such as China and Sri Lanka. The brand has also faced allegations of child labor.
🐾 | Animal Welfare:
The brand has banned the use of most animal goods, such as real fur and exotic animal skins. The only animal product they still use is silk, but they counter that by using ethical alternatives to all other animal fabrics, such as synthetic fur. They have been recognized by PETA for their work to steer away from animal cruelty.
