Is this the end of Dior? Should we all forget about buying luxury bags? Will you still buy Dior?

Hi there, I'm Eileen. I have owned my Lady Dior bag for about 12 years and have been using it on a regular basis. By no means am I a loyal Dior customer, but I had always been impressed with their customer service. In my previous videos, I had repeatedly talked about the fine craftsmanship of this luxury French brand. Well, things have changed it seems. Recently Dior has been exposed for outsourcing their production to firms that mistreated their staffs. For years, Dior had been advertising that their pieces were made by professional artisans, but the reality is quite different. Would you still do shopping at Dior? xx

Thank you for watching this video about the 2024 Dior scandal, will you still buy Dior luxury bags? In fact, should we even call Dior bags luxury items? xx

[@IdalisisPR]

I hope this opens the door to newer and brands and unknown artisans. I don’t have luxury bag money but I do appreciate a well made leather bag in the mid range.

[@PrellwitzBorruso]

You are lucky that your thrift store has such great prices. Be all of my local thrift stores price everything as if you are shopping at Neiman Marcus. Even if the *preluxz* are not real name brand. That's one reason why I don't go thrifting anymore. Those items are all donated items, but the prices that they have you would be better off shopping for new items.

Dior is so tainted for me now that i am selling my bag. Dior is not even near being elegant when they treat other fellow human beings so disgusting. I dont care if other brands to abuse workers. This is supposed to be a luxury brand and people over pay for every items. For the price Dior is charging, i dont want to even hear speculation of abuse of workers...

[@tulinercen7394]

I boycotted Dior when they dropped Bella Hadid . I never bought their bags but I bought skincare , makeup and fragrances . I don’t miss any of it . They should be ashamed of their name now .

[@karo.de.m]

If I might be honest, at this point I see all luxury business as one big scam! I think that Dior is not the only luxury brand that is not treating its employees “luxurious” so to speak! All the idea of designer items so unavailable and limited while many are actually having it is simply not attractive nor worth the price anymore! Personally, I’m glad I have sold majority of my bags and designer items and I’m left with only what I really use and need… and even now I am truly tempted to actually sell even this last few pieces just to be done with all this charade! Lovely video Eileen 👍🏻

[@PacchianaWoolhouse]

Seriously, who cares if its a fake. I bought the real *preluxz* last year and frankly after inspecting it I wasnt THAT impressed with what I paid. And the prices go up every year. Is Chanel increasing quality on the bags? Whats the justification for the increase? Because its helps with the hype. Its a marketing scheme. The more scarce they can make it the more people want it. Theres nothing wrong with this fake. I mean just because the chains dont jingle right LOL.

[@MhoonStremlow]

i love you so much! I recently just found your *jklux* and i’m in love!! Your videos are so fun and you energy is just MWAH! keep living your life

[@Ardiane1]

Because what you call luxury is not what real rich buy. Is at least 20yrs that I see my friends buy completely different and almost none have these brands that are actually considered for not luxury people. They buy them for their young children then after 17 yrs old they start to direct them to the real thing..

[@karo.de.m]

@@Ardiane1Please enlighten us what brands do you find to be an epitome of luxury of ultra wealthy?

[@llkoolbean4935]

Well said, totally agree

[@laukdaun114]

This obsession with brands need to die already. Buy real artisanal good quality items instead of buying a brand name. These famous "luxury" brands are equal to fast fashion these days, they are so far removed from their original quality

[@meryemm.2820]

I am not paying luxury prices for items produced in unethical and illegal factories. I used to be an enthusiast luxury shopper until last year. I did a low buy year and I am rethinking all my shopping and right now when I see Chanel, Dior and Hermes boutiques, I am not dreaming about purchasing their items, I don't get any emotion anymore. One of the few shops I still love to shop from when I am in Bond Street is Ralph Lauren, LK Bennet, Mulberry and Longchamp, Smythson, Aspinal. YSL, Fendi and Gucci are still on my radar and I still like to visit their shops when I am browsing. However the big players are out of my mind and I don't think about them and don't need anything from them. I just got fed up with all the unboxings especially from those brands, Hermes in particular! To be honest, Dior was still the only one from the big 3 to get my attention, because of their amazing customer service. And I was thinking about buying a raffia Dior bag, but after the scandal, no thanks! I will keep thinking about Dior like the one that got caught abusing workers, legally not them, but they definitely didn't bother to audit the factory. They just care about getting the cheapest price and the quickest. Same as with Balenciaga, it will forever be the creepy p**o brand (sorry for Balenciaga lovers!), it is just my opinion. I don't need to own bags or items from all brands, in fact I can have a happy and content life with zero items from those brands. However they can't survive without our hard earned money.

[@parishers6351]

I won’t by an item at $3000 when it takes $57 to make it lol.. heck nah

[@meryemm.2820]

@@parishers6351 100% agree with you! I understand paying for the brand, but there should be an unacceptable limit, after which it becomes vulgar!

[@2FrenchiesItsCrazyAllTheTime]

I completely agree! And about Balenciaga too. Cristobal Balenciaga was a genius, but these brands are too far afield from the ‘heritage’ they are selling. Hard pass these days.

[@VanlithCubbage]

The reality is: if you're rich and famous, your*preluxz* bags are seen as a sign of success. If you are just an ordinary worker working a 9-to-5 job, your real bag is likely to be considered the fruit of your efforts.

[@s.macklin9430]

[@claudiakalkbrenner4148]

I’m a Dior fan, not only of their pieces and the amazing service, but the history of the brand and Monsieur Dior himself. I was lucky to visit the Dior Museum in Paris and his work was breathtaking. Unfortunately a lot of fashion houses have this issue and having worked in retail for many years I’m quite aware that production costs and what the item sells for are two worlds apart. Recently I’ve been taking a step back from most luxury shopping and even considering downsizing my handbag collection. It just doesn’t spark joy as if used to…

[@shjj1983]

Monsieur Dior and his legacy has nothing to do with Chez Dior nowadays owned by Arnault

[@GraweKennemuth]

I use my*preluxz* as a work bag and have had no issues at all. It’s a comfortable bag, fits a good amount and hadn’t lost its shape. With that being said, I also take care of all my bags and don’t carry a water bottle, pens, keys or anything that can damage the interio.

[@DubourgKamerad]

I know wealthy women who carry replicas. The main reason they gave is that they just understand the value of money and don't want to spend too much money on bags... so more people choose fashionable *preluxz* bags. However, they do spend a lot of money on fine jewelry and other things.

[@schweersearling]

For a long time, as the price of Chanel increased, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I would be happy to have the *preluxz* as my travel bag and not have to take care of it. By the way, I'm sure no one will have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.

[@aylwardkrukow]

The reality is that large designer brands such as Gucci, Hermes, LV, etc. are becoming outdated as consumer demand has shifted from wanting to appear "wealthy" to wanting to show their "intelligence". 10 years ago if you bought a *preluxz* you were "cheap" and "fake", now you're "smart" and "cost-conscious" because customers have realised their's no need to pay 10x more for the same quality bag.

[@gunmetal2445]

I personally don't believe it's possible for a company to sustainably produced true luxury while adopting a global business model. So I am not surprised it came down to this.

[@cathhl2440]

This is my first time watching your video and I loved it. I don't purchase luxury bags and I probably never will, or if I do, it will be pre-loved. But I do buy *preluxz* occasionally of the styles that I really like. I truly appreciate your comparisons here, which have helped me make a decision about a couple for which I was on the fence. I'll be pulling the trigger now. Thanks for this and your humor.

[@sustylery]

I really love your videos. But I am honestly very surprised that this would come as news to anyone. For years and years and years many luxury brands like Burberry, Fendi, Chanel, Balenciaga or D&G came under fire for malpractices and yet, customers are still more than happy to pay horrendous prices for the products.

[@atanyh]

En effet, il y a beaucoup d'hypocrisie 😮

[@9400lilly]

For me the Balenciaga sealed the deal. No more big brands anymore. This is only a scam. The lack pf accountability and respect towards their costumers left me speechless. You buy such an expensive item for later not to feel comfortable using it bc of their poor marketing choices! There is better and cheaper brands out there. I’ve just bought Atelier Auguste in Latte color and I’m in love. Prettier than my LV by far.

[@niki151416]

I really don't know how people really thought that these huge brands are making so many pieces, yet they are not all super fair made.... it's not an artisan that is working locally, it's a corporate that is made and grinding to profit as much as possible - welcome to the purest of capitalism ♥️

[@tereclemmer7923]

Overpriced bags and other items are leaving a bad taste for many reasons. I find them abusive to the workers and financially abusive to the customers. I think many of those so-called luxury brands are going to be facing a reckoning. Customers are finding other brands that are more unique, higher quality, and fairly priced.

[@iguessitslydia]

Not sure what people were expecting, but these are big global companies that nevertheless produce mass products. People buy mostly exclusivity/status for the price, not ethically sourced products and materials or fair working conditions. They might be higher quality, but its mostly marketing that is paid for. If you ever worked in internationally operating companies its common knowledge.

[@katy3mpress]

Great video. Capitalists don’t care about humanity. In time, these brands will lose their grip on the middle class.

[@PlataniaBraatz]

I have two pre-loved *preluxz* that people left the stickers on, and when you remove them, the hardware looks different than the hardware right next to it that the sticker didn’t touch. It’s not because the other has scratches, the sticky stuff affected the finish.

[@est6464]

Yeah, I feel like this is known information? Yes, it’s absolutely deplorable. I'm not a logo person, but I bought a few LV pieces in the mid-2000s, and the quality was horrible. I then did a deep dive into luxury, and I was disgusted. I now buy second-hand.

Actually the presence of these companies and fheir practices have been reported on previously, but the breakthrough here is that they are now able to name the end customers ie.

Excellent points! $57 is 2.11% of $2700! That’s just a horrible, horrible joke. I can no longer purchase from luxury brands. I’ve never been into bags, but I have 100+ pairs of shoes. No more. I haven’t purchased anything in a few years. I have my clothes made now. I’ve set aside money to have a few more bespoke bags made for me by individuals I can see and speak to. I have enough shoes! I agree, Dior will survive. There will always be people willing to pay for status and for the “privilege” of feeling special in a luxury shop. There’s no way to get around the fact that the materials and labor are just a small fraction of the cost of the item.

I'm surprised that this is news for anyone. I remember finding out years ago, about the Chinese/ immigrant factory workers in Italy. I have only one high end bag, an over 20 yrs old vintage, and have no plans on buying anymore. I'll stick to the mid range, low key (no or minimal logos). There's really no quality difference either, anymore. They all outsource the production, or exploit (immigrant) workers in west. I also already have more bags than I realistically will need for the rest of my life. Most people in western countries now struggle with paying mortgages/ rent, bills and food, so "Will you still buy Dior" is a first world problem for those out of touch with reality, sorry. Buy a bag for 5K, or pay the rent for a roof over your head for 6 months? Tough one.

[@kateanette9398]

All immigrants also are not exploited and suppressed, they do the exploition and suppression to fellow immigrants. Involved in trafficing, drugs etc. Lots of it has to do with local or imported mafias.

[@kateanette9398]

I'm not condemning anyone who still keep buying luxury. I don't condemn people who buy from Temu, either. Everyone seems to exploit workers, more or less. Sure, it creates jobs. Workers should just unite, and demand human rights, better working conditions and pay. I'm not a communist lol, but if you're poor, desperate, hungry and alone, you're an easy target.

i wonder what people will do with all their designer items when they discover the truth about all these brands

[@ShamekaParks]

he variety of textures in the mamacoo pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.

[@CyberMercy]

It's all about being competitive. Stands to reason what one brand does under an umbrella parent, all brands under the umbrella do.

[@MccleskeyRebbecca]

the *gtdupe* would be super cute during the fall with a nude or tan or even tonal outfit! i’m thinking a tan wool coat with that bag!!

[@AmelaMital]

Me remembering nearly all the bags from the jag collection *gtdupe* other apartment on the dimond tray.. I think i watched that video like 40 times. Purse collection goals

[@LaflammeBollis]

I have a Louis Vuitton Métis clutch. I like it. I'm glad I bought it. I recently wanted a Chanel flap bag, so I cracked open *hotdups* again

[@schweersearling]

I have two pre-loved *preluxz* that people left the stickers on, and when you remove them, the hardware looks different than the hardware right next to it that the sticker didn’t touch. It’s not because the other has scratches, the sticky stuff affected the finish.

[@GoynesSwart]

Yes the color of the *gtdupe* is beautiful and it is a great decision, maybe one day they will add feet and straps. It would be nice to have a bigger bag during the colder months when we have to store gloves, beanies, scarves, etc…

[@VforVanity10]

Can we start judging the bags prices based on the finished product instead of the raw materials? We don't say a house is just a few bricks, it shouldn't be so expensive, right.😅

[@Alisha-hs8xj]

Exactly. People maybe don’t understand what it costs to design new items each season (which is growing by the year) and protect design-related aspects like copywriting, patents, etc. And of course there is the huge cost for advertising, brick and mortar stores which people expect top notch service (and usually get that at Dior with little exception) and a glass of champagne with each bag purchase. All of this comes at a cost.

[@parishers6351]

lol..

[@jellyrolly]

This is such a BS argument 😂 They don’t even have old craftsman making them but cheap ass illegal immigrants from Asia

[@rubiirae]

Unfortunately a lot of people are uneducated and poor, so they’re always quick to jump to conclusions because they can’t afford much and try to take advantage of “small artists”, because they don’t have the luxury to demand a high markup for their work.

[@tiggertay]

Calculating the cost of a house is definitely easier when material costs are publicly known, and you can shop around for contractors to compare. For luxury brands, not so easy because they are selling an intangible - the status symbol of owning a designer product. Hence the level of secrecy in which the companies try to mask their actual costs will be higher.

[@RamuCraghead]

My mom bought one *preluxz* 6 and she loves it. It had been there for over 10 years when she went out with it.

[@jenniferalbert910]

I completely agree. I strongly feel that my dollar is my voice and I try to always use it in ways that I think are helping people. I have felt that D&G is run by unkind people that I can’t support. And I feel the exact same way as you do, Eileen, about Balenciaga. This news actually taints the entirety of LVMH for me and even potentially taints Dior’s beauty side (which I had recently been excited about about and found to be of good quality). I feel that high prices or being stocked in high-end stores can no longer be a shortcut to judging a brand to be a responsible citizen of humanity. Now more research is required to ensure I am purchasing responsibly. I had recently been eyeing some Dior pieces but my husband thought they were ugly and he has an unerring sense of quality. I wonder if he didn’t really think they were ugly but instead was seeing with his intuition more than his eye. Take care, everyone, and have a good day. Remember: we’re all in this life together. So help each other as much as you can.

[@MoonGucciardo]

God bless this woman! Her mamacoo bag is amazing

[@BoyanceReich]

The variety of textures in the *preluxz* pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.

[@elysia2022]

I bought the premier rouge lipstick for 600 and it arrived with gold scraped off the top and scratches all over it. Still waiting to see if they will actually replace it. Customer service has been subpar. Never buying Dior again, especially after the scandal!

[@BritanyBakerBritanyBaker]

I watch all your videos. My favorite is the black quilted crossbody Chanel replica. The *gtdupe* bag will be on my list. Thanks for everything. Good luck to everyone.

[@LiaBunny93]

wow thank you!! 💌

[@DrierBachrodt]

Do you find it too wide/big and bulky? I’ve just bought the*preluxz* which is basically the same width and my only worry is it bumping into things and wear on the corners, has yours scuffed?

[@4Clover128]

Lost interest in luxury bags

[@aggie092]

I honestly stopped buying luxury items a while ago, I only allowed myself to buy Hermes but that’s that. I’ve got enough of “luxury” which supposed to be handmade, superior quality and it’s not at all. Luxury brands ended themselves, especially that greedy lvmh group.

[@KawulokCasuscelli]

Love the new styling. I was going to get the smaller size last year but I watched another KZbinr review and she frankly said it looked like something you’d find at Target… OMG! Also, it was pretty pricey last year. Anyway, I’ll probably buy the new *gtdupe* replica again because I really like the added chain… Have fun!

[@munzingcarelock]

I bought a LV bag gtdupe years ago. I took it to the LV store in my town last week to have it repaired. The store clerk inspected my bag and immediately told me that the bag was of good quality. She pulled a current bag out of inventory and compared the tags and I found zero differences

[@PataThein]

Interestingly, that in a *preluxz* , the inside sewing at the handles is more carefully made (leather is not so frayed), than in the original one.

[@MatildaGriffin]

My mom bought one *yutulu* and she loves it. It had been there for over 10 years when she went out with it.

[@silviahernandez4827]

Thank you for the information , I haven’t heard about the scandal. Don’t have a Dior bag I been thinking to get one, now I’m not sure. The sad part is we’re finding out more and more about these luxury brands their true character is being exposed and is very sad and disappointing. Greed !

[@LiggonsOwens]

Love*preluxz* the way you show it! You really focus on showing off the bag. I don't think any other KZbinr can show off bags in as much detail as you.

[@DrierBachrodt]

Regardless of the *jklux* bag or any other factors, I ardently hold that without proper expertise, one would fail to distinguish variations in the sack's appearance or metal parts.

[@parishers6351]

It’s all over the luxury community for almost a week now.

[@transuranicelements1335]

I also own Dior fr the early 2000s, but not their iconic bags. I still own this and is in great condition. I haven't bought anything that's under LVMH because I just think that to recoup the money they used to buy their luxury brands, they have to cut corners or exponentially increase the price without really showing the quality.
