Oh I see now why big “designer Luxury “ brands oppose “fakes” they want to control the ridiculous mark ups profits. $50 to make at bag but $5000 + to the customer. Luxury brands won’t get another dime from me.

[@evarodriguezalequin5705]

@@CrackberryMe Fashion industry are going over board. I would not pay so much money for a bag/purse that is being produce by a person who is being exploited. I'm sure that if people would stop buying, this would not occur. Deceiving and bad attitude should never be tolerated.

[@WINKEofficial]

I actually withness this when I was setting up my fashion brand. I sourced production in London and Poland and then went to Italy where (as a pattern cutter) speaking to Italian factories I couldn't find any production sides. It was very suspicious being in Prato having appointments with producers I realised they werent factories but just huge offices and distribution centre's. And seeing how many asians live in Prato, I found a insider lady who was stuck with missmakes and she taught me to look around the town when it gets dark and all the places with lights on are producing the goods with illegal immigrants that have no health insurance or anything. Italy just turns a blind eye and no Italian actually produces anymore. So I never set up my fashion brand because of this.

[@miao-m9q]

Hi, where do u ended up producing ur brand items? And what brand is tat?

[@MeiinUK]

Try Spain. This is what it is like now. Cos the line of...."too many chiefs, and little to no Indians"... stands true. A lot of people would do and be their own small companies. So... This is how many of the older brands used to be any way. Until they were bought out. So.... but.. peole don't want to do that any more. And in a way, this is how.. you invest illegal immigration, which leaves a debt bubble of sorts.. to those specific countries. So.... That is how it goes, isn't it ? So...

[@SM-ul9er]

So you saw it and didn't do anything. About it then commenting now. Then you're just as bad

[@WINKEofficial]

@@miao-m9q I went to family I have in Nigeria to set up production. This worked out so well and every one was happy. However import taxes made it very pricey and so I lost my investors. Now I don’t run a fashion brand because one is forced to work with this rotten industry in Italy or Bangladesh and I can’t morally stand behind that.

[@WINKEofficial]

@@SM-ul9er I didn’t go in business with anyone in Italy and moved on to Nigeria. However getting to know this industry it crushed my dreams as a fashion designer.

Blaming the Chinese factories instead of the luxury brands that collaborate with them is as absurd as a wife blaming a prostitute and pulling her hair, rather than educating her husband for visiting brothels. Similarly, it’s like a mother suing a gaming company instead of disciplining her son for being addicted to video games. Italian fashion brands should face more criticism, not the Chinese factories.

[@user-sw2wv1zx1t]

Think the wife should leave the husband though lol

[@ErikaLaGrande]

Both are the problem. It didn’t used to be like this when the factories were Italian owned and the workers were Italian. The Chinese factories have ruined the “Made in Italy” mark. It doesn’t mean quality and craftsmanship anymore. People who buy these bags have been complaining that the quality has gone way down even though the prices are going up and are not buying them anymore. They buy the fakes. So, greed has killed this industry.

[@jonah_lau]

@@ErikaLaGrande I could guess with my eyes closed that you’re Italian. It’s so easy to blame everything on external forces, isn’t it? Italy’s decline is solely due to external factors and has nothing to do with Italians themselves, right? Hahaha. Let me tell you this: today, you blame China; tomorrow, it could be India, and the day after, maybe Vietnam. The destruction of “Made in Italy” is your own doing. Stop looking for external excuses-it only makes you look incompetent. Italy’s public services, from railways to healthcare, are in an absolute mess. Is that also China’s fault? These are problems caused by Italians themselves. Wake up baby.

Almost all Italian designer bags are this way. Made by workers that are immigrant workers to Italy. They work 14-17 hours a day, six days a week. A majority of workers are not allowed to sit down on company property. Almost all make less than nine dollars per day currency converted to USD).

@@butchfajardo8832 you’re missing the point completely, the things is that when luxurious products say “made in Italy” you think of of generational craftsmen and artisans who work on each piece with care and knowledge. Well, those luxury products are indeed made in Italy but in sweatshops by workers who are abused 24/7 by unscrupulous Chinese overlords, there’s basically no difference if those bags had been made in Italy or in a random overcrowded warehouse in a province in China. Absolutely disgusting.

How do you know the cheap bags are not treating workers well?

[@VeganDoris]

@ How can you pay someone a living wage when a bag costs only $20 or $30, and the bag takes an hour or two to sew it? The retail store takes about half of the price so that means the wholesaler gets $10 or $15, and the bosses have to pay themselves and the managers as well as pay for the factory rent/mortgage, materials, shipping, electricity, etc. I’d be surprised if the person who sews the bag gets more than $1 for their labor.

Put it this way, all parties do have certain level to be blame here. 1. These big brand conglomerate definitely the biggest to be blame here. They do know all these exploit but ignore as it give them in big return profit. But can't blame them entirely as they are running business. Only thing is over greed. Company excuses claimed they "outsource" and doesn't have control is not wrong as well. To be honest, if a company were to control everything, as good as not outsourcing. 2. Workers, ourselves. Not saying we need to work in hazard environment but do remember everything come with a cost. If everything need some kind of protection, the overhead cost is going to be very high. High operation cost, this will only result 2 things, either your job being outsource to different nationality worker in same country or entirely to another country. There's always "someone" who is more willing to "accept less for more". Which is why we are seeing lesser and lesser job available and things are getting more expensive (high operation cost as one factor). That hot iron example, it is over react thing to me. How often we see a handicraft men use sharp tool for crafting without any "protection" but why no one make noise? One could slip and cut the finger right? It is all about finding the balance between risk/health safety. 3. Consumer, ourselves. Admit it, many are capitalism. We are the one allowing these big brand conglomerate to exploit every loop hole available. We can live with a $50 bag but choose to pay 10x higher just because of a brand. Remember, No demand=no supply. So if die die have to get these "branded", i would rather get superfake

They're not in European ownership always and far from their roots as small quality companies. They just have the brand name.

[@VKjk]

@ That’s a good point, and it’s true that many luxury brands have changed ownership and management over the years. However, regardless of who owns them, they still promote themselves as symbols of quality and responsibility. It’s disappointing to see them shift away from their responsibilities and place the blame on their suppliers when things go wrong. This lack of accountability affects the workers behind the scenes, and it makes it even more important for consumers to support brands that prioritize ethical practices and transparency.
