--FILE--A pedestrian walks past a fashion boutique of Gucci in Fuzhou city, southeast China's Fujian province, 14 November 2014. Italian fashion house Gucci said on Monday (22 December 2014) it would strengthen controls on its suppliers after a television program showed Chinese employees working more than three times their official hours to assemble its handbags. The head of a Gucci subcontractor told an investigative program broadcast by RAI state television on Sunday that Gucci was aware it irregularly employed Chinese workers. Aroldo Guidotti of subcontractor Mondo Libero (Free World) said the employees toiled away for as long as 14 hours a day, while they were supposed to work only for four hours, to assemble handbags that he sold to Gucci for 24 euros. The bags sell in shops for around $1, 000 each. In a statement responding to the "Report" TV show, Gucci said it had acted properly but pledged to raise the number of inspections at its suppliers and take more effective action where needed.
