Victoria's Shameful Secret: Luxury Underwear is Made from Cotton Picked by "Abused Child Slaves"

Victoria's Secret lingerie is modelled by some of the world's most beautiful and glamorous women.

Its designer products grace the shelves of top stores, proudly bearing certified organic labels.

But the billion dollar brand's sexy and sensual image is being threatened by claims that its bras, knickers and lingerie are made from cotton produced by children who are forced to work long hours for no pay.

Far away from the glamorous catwalks of New York and London, children as young as 10 were allegedly discovered by investigators from Bloomberg News Agency working under appalling conditions.
