After The Guardian published a story about the allegedly inhumane conditions women in Bangladesh producing Spice Girls T-shirts for a charity campaign are working in, a Bosnia-based company offered to the band to take over production.

“Hey, Spice Girls! We are a social enterprise from Bosnia and we would love to make your T-shirts, ’cause that's what we do best! With us, you can have your cake and eat it too!” the Facebook post from the Funky Guerrilla brand profile said.

“We guarantee that you can avoid this headache by hiring us. Plus, we are only a few countries away from you guys. Let us know what you think!”

The Guardian article said the Spice Girls T-shirts that were sold as part of a “gender justice” charity campaign were being produced “in Bangladesh where women earn the equivalent of 35p an hour during shifts” and claim to have been “verbally abused and harassed” during shifts.
