Original Penguin is a heritage apparel brand owned by Perry Ellis International, covering men’s, women’s, and children’s fashion. Perry Ellis licenses socks, underwear, and intimate apparel for Penguin to Delta Galil Industries, an Israeli manufacturer with operations in illegal West Bank settlements.
By contracting Delta Galil, Perry Ellis International is financially tied to the settlement economy. Delta Galil’s factories in occupied territory profit from stolen Palestinian land, water, and labor under military rule. These ties embed human rights violations directly into the Penguin supply chain. Despite public evidence and advocacy, Perry Ellis hasn't moved to sever relations with Delta Galil.Boycotting this company is medium-to-high impact: while it is not as globally dominant as Nike or Adidas, it provides Delta Galil with steady licensing revenue and Western brand credibility. Consumer pressure here chips away at the normalized presence of occupation-linked textiles in everyday retail.
