Dior's $2800 Bag Costs Just $57 to Make! | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Dior's $2800 Bag Costs Just $57 to Make! | Vantage with Palki Sharma
Recent investigations have revealed that two of Italy's most prominent luxury fashion houses, Dior and Giorgio Armani, pay a surprisingly low amount to produce handbags that retail for thousands of dollars. Documents examined by the authorities show that Dior paid a supplier only $57 to make bags that sell for about $2,780. So, what explains this stupendous price markup? Are you paying for quality handbags or are you paying for the brand? Palki Sharma answers the questions.

The fashion world changes quickly, and high imitation allows me to change styles frequently and keep up with trends. Friends, let me unveil the mystery of *condup* for you. Hopefully you guys didn't spend too much money on fine jewelry and stuff.

[@SchwartzerBrading]

My mom bought an LV from *esluxy* and she loves it. It’s been there for over 10 years when she went out.

[@RabilFlister]

I love how honest you are about everything. when someone is carrying a *esluxy* and you pass them on the street no one can tell whether is fake or real one because you cannot do this much analysis on it. what I hate about LV and why I stopped buying them is that many people assume your bag is fake when they pass you on the street. It's very annoying. one time a woman walked up to me and actually asked me if my bag was "real". after spending almost 2K on a bag and being asked that question was so offensive i stopped carrying them. People look more at the person carrying the bag and assume wrongly whether is real or fake. it is extremely annoying

[@BehringGhee]

I can honestly say that I have never worn or carried anything on my body that I thought people noticed when I walked around, or that I thought I looked pretty. I just don't care. Thanks for reminding me. Things are only worth what people are willing to pay. This will always change, and buying *esluxy* that make you happy is the truth.

@@sabrinamystified Things should come with a label specifying how much they cost to make, including labor. That way, people know exactly what they’re getting for their money. Also, how much the people who made it got, so they can boycott them. Just like labeling what food or clothing is made of. If people know something has certain chemicals in, consists of cheaper ingredients, or is synthetic, they would tend to avoid it unless they were unable to afford better. So, they/we should have the choice of avoiding products that exploit others, including them/us (the customer) by overcharging and the labor by underpaying for profit, too. Makes sense to me. This is just horrendous, and it’s happening everywhere. I’m tired of working hard only to be robbed every time I buy something. But at least I never bought any of these luxury brands.

I watched a documentary from 10 years ago where Kering was exposed for outsourcing manufacturing to contractors that employe exploited chinese migrant workers. Because Kering and other luxury brands want to maintain their Made in Italy status, but want to keep their high profit margins. What they could do is simply open factories in China, but that would mean having to label their products as Made in China. So that's when the contractors come in, instead of making products in China, they bring chinese workers to Italy. These migrant workers have to live in the factory compound in squalor and are paid very little in the sweatshops. If you buy replica bags from China, don't feel guilty, those bags are probably more ethically manufactured than the authentic bags.

On the contrary, the saint Laurent clothing is of the finest wool, silks, cashmere and cotton and the fit is amazing (, especially for a tall person like me).

we know very well that the exclusivity of a luxury brand is also given by the price and concerns watches, jewels, cars etc., but we cannot deny that they are objects of clearly superior quality to others and if a scandal about illegal practices occurs it is because these brands are checked and made in a country with rigorous laws to protect workers and consumers, something that cannot be said for other brands that produce in countries where workers exploitation is normal and accepted

[@Mira-pm3ni]

Superior quality like seriously ? The western countries always downplays about other countries quality . Still their luxury products are made in Asian countries. Where it's cheap to be made then they put their logos and then sell it with insane high price . Legal or illegal doesn't matter to the big brands . They just put any price because they know there is no dearth of rich fools .

[@yamamancha]

Don't be shocked but people buying these products most likely are aware and don't care. As the video notes at the end, they quite literally choose to pay for the experience of the "fancy stores". This is even more so today than ever before as a safe, inviting shopping experience becomes harder to find. Also, the second-hand market for luxury goods is thriving, so selling is always an option.
