This garment, made in a low-wage country and sold in retail, was bought at H&M for € 19.99. It was stripped of its stitching and then sewn back together by hand by Various Artists.
The working hours of Various Artists were counted and paid as in the country of origin (the minimum wage for clothing workers in Bangladesh is € 0.35).
This online shop sells the pieces at "low wage country" price.
Online selling price = € 27.43 (€ 19.99 (H&M) + artist's wage (21 hours and 15 minutes at € 0.35/hour = € 7.44)).
However, in order to be able to purchase this work of art at online selling price, the buyer must donate the missing value of € 1,442.22 to a charity from the country of origin. The missing value is calculated as the "Made in Luxembourg" price minus the online selling price.
The missing value = € 1,442.22 (artist's salary (21 hours and 15 minutes at € 69.16/hour = € 1,469.65) minus the online selling price).
