Is my idea for clothing ethical?

I live in the UK.
I would like to produce clothing for myself, by employing about twenty children from the local village to produce them. They would work for eleven hours per day and I'd pay them about 20p per hour. Is this ethical?
I assume of course, that when people purchase clothes from M&S and Primark etc. The makers of the garments are all adults and paid a fair wage?

Compliments Old Bean! I have all my garment made by the lads in my orphanages. Each day they produce clothing that I have specified the day before and I never wear the same garment twice. The old clothes are washed by my servants then destroyed. I have no need to pay the lads for they are fed their gruel by my own staff and they would receive sustenance from no other house. Tip top!

Sounds like a bally good plan to reinvigorate the economic health of the village, Bobbles!
Put me and Maggie down for matching tweed thongs, if you please.
Well done, sir!

I'm quite sure they would appreciate the chance to make some money.
Are you taking special requests? If so, I would like a custom made dress for special events......and if Hattie is looking for new outfits.....well....I'm not sure the tape measure has seen such a figure!

great idea , you should be commended for doing this , one of the problems is to many of the rich people are appalled by the idea of knowing that their garments were made by slave children , we must stop this outrageous exporting of our slave labor jobs in this tough economy . and keep these low paying slave wage jogs here at home , that's the patriotic thing to do

Won't work, Sir B'. Their British education has equipped them only to design the clothes, not make them, and at age 11 they've already got a CV of two pages and have applied for a place on The Apprentice. Their gangmaster, Spotty Raffinshaw, won't even come to the negotiating table for less than £10 an hour.

It is not ethical in the least. Those pence add up, you know, and you shirk your fiscal responsibilities with your spendthrift ways. Surely, with a new personal thug and the blackmail shakedowns of numerous clergy, I don't see how you could have missed the opportunity to employ the clergy in rounding up a little free labor for you. Surely if the Spanish priests were able to enslave the Pueblo Indian natives and use them for free labor, you could expect no less from clergy trying to save their holier than thou reputations. I'm sure if, for example, you offered to burn those those naughty photos of the vicar en flagrante delicto with Mrs. Faversham, he would return the favor and round up some twenty altar boys for your use, wage free with benefits.
