Basically buying a dupe is no different from buying the original when they both do the same thing.

[@Lorraine_4216]

So....if dior is buying the bags from the subcontractor, does that mean they really aren't dior bags until dior buys them? Does that mean they are super fakes until dior buys them? Does dior buy all of them? Is this how super fakes come about, because they are manufactured by these subcontractors? I've often wondered if these super fakes are made in the same place as the "real" bags. It's just another income they get from people who can't afford the "real" one.

[@ladysusanjane2682]

Very very good question 🤔

[@lucydelcasale4972]

I believe all of them to be "bags" until the designer brands them with their logo...

[@purplebutterfly314]

There's a guy in my town that produces jeans for Levi's and he does this and then sells the jeans much cheaper with the Levi's tag and all. It definitely happens

[@sarikagoode1505]

They have a contract with the company (Dior) who supplies them the materials for the item as well as the specs. These manufacturers only assemble them, they don’t design them.

[@12345im]

Good point

[@missmaryblack1990]

NGL, i am SHOCKED those book totes cost $57 to produce, that is so much more than I expected. They look like $10 bags to me.

[@esterdrass4964]

🤣

[@haute03]

Same! I also thought they maybe took $10-15 to make. They definitely look like it.

[@miriamhavard7621]

Yes, I thought that the print and the bags were quite ugly, tbh.

[@jlind3891]

I thought the same when they came out. I thought who would pay so much for that craft class bag. Then I thought are they made of silk and 14 k gold zippers? Nah..

[@Coastpsych_fi99]

Really could you make that bag yourself? If it’s hand made and they paid all employees would justify the price.

[@kinj5422]

My fiancé got me a Dior necklace in Las Vegas boutique. I knew they are no precious metal and just plain metal, however, he thought it was made of gold because, according to him, he asked an employee before purchase if it’s real gold, and they said it is… employees preying on clueles men who shop for gifts… lying and false advertisement to secure purchase… shameful

[@esterdrass4964]

I think they can get away with that because it is gold layered...its sneaky as shit. Like a 'made in Italy' tag doesn't mean the bag was actually made in Italy...it was designed and maybe put back together in Italy-maybe...but...the label was made in Italy. They found loopholes to screw people. I one time thought Chanel jewelry was real because who the fuck would spend that much on costume jewelry...but no... its fake.

[@kurisuchan07]

Some pieces are 18k gold plated, some are brushed with gold, some are colored in gold color. I'm not saying your husband asked the wrong question but sometimes reinforcing the question in such a way won't allow them to misinform you. Now that being said, is this right/ethical? Absolutely not! they should explain exactly what you are buying, and I don't know what their excuse is to be like this other than financial gains/meet quotas and targets. I've caught Hermes employees trying to sell me that "gold-plated" is the same as full gold.... no, it's not! When they know who they're f--king with, they won't play with you. I hope you're enjoying the necklace though :)

I live in Italy and I'm italian: locals have stopped wearing all these brands a long time ago... we prefer local cute bags and little brands from artisans. I think these brands have more appeal for foreigners... i am not surprised... some time ago, there was a similar case for LIU JO in Naples: they were making tshirts for cents and then selling them for 50/60 €. They people were sleeping and working non stop and were paid cents per tshirts. It was HORRIBLE. BTW, your Italian accent is PERFECTION, I'm a new sub ❣️

I know the sheeple don’t care but if any of them have any morals then they should care.

As a moral person I cannot associate myself which such brands unless if the owner changes.

I think some luxury brands have been for some time using their customers as entertainment (we are the joke). As badly as they treat their workers is as badly as they treat us the customers. We are really no different from those workers being chained in the factories, we chain ourselves willingly by giving them our money.

[@AnUrbanGypsy]

“Who wants so much?!” There is a point that it switches from being about money, to being about the power that having that money can now bring. The family can buy pretty much anything their heart desires, to move up now is to gain power, usually political power. It’s insidious.

You ask “ how do these people sleep at nights “. Obviously very well as they continue to do this without any remorse. Appealing to their humanity will never work. The only thing that does is to hit them where they care the most, and that is their pockets. We should collectively stop buying luxury from any of these nefarious companies.

[@esterdrass4964]

The 'Made in Italy' rule...the label that is sewn in the bag doesn't actually mean the entire bag was made in Italy. As far as I understand, it has to be designed in Italy...made in China...assembled in Italy and the label itself is legit made in Italy. So basically, they are not lying when the label says 'made in Italy' because essentially the label is made in Italy. Pretty sneaky. I personally think the same factories the make the real, also make the fake. That could explain why they are made so well. Plus, someone already commented that buying a real and buying fake is the same when you realize the treatment of the workers is grossly equal.

[@flohough1870]

Yep. Very similar to a fiasco with the "made in USA" labels in the 1990s/early 2000s where products were actually being made in Saipan/Mariana Islands. They find these technicalities and then fool people into thinking it's all legit.

I have a problem with a lot of the comments I read about this all over You Tube on various channels. There is so much 'shock' and clutching of pearls all around. People seem to think their goods are made by the leather elves and fairies. They do not get that this is old practice that is rarely exposed. It is the big fat white elephant in the room. First, the shock is over the items not being made by Italian crafters, but Chinese workers. The fact that the immigrant workers usually work in deplorable conditions is an afterthought. People don't really want to think about that. They are more concerned that their bag is not made by Gepetto or Giuseppe. How is skill in leatherwork determined by ones ethnicity? Besides the fact that it's sweatshops! So, wugo wugo! Does the fact that a bag made in Italy by a Chinese worker make your bag equal to fake or dupe? Maybe. But not because of the makers ethnicity.

Germany introduced the act on Corporation due diligence responsibilities for the prevention of human rights violations in supply chains. Companies are held reliable for human rights violations concerning direct suppliers (and indirect suppliers if the companies have knowledge of a violation). Europe is preparing the European version of the law which will be even stricter. Companies will be held responsible for their whole supply chain. So when luxury brands move their facilities out of Europe to Great Britain ...Well...how convenient. Love your channel. Your focus on the human rights aspects is so much needed these days. Making people aware of what is going is what forces companies to change, because they are afraid of their reputation. And they should be. Hugs from Gernany.

@@SuperDacob To be fair it has to be mentionend that in 2015 the UK Government introduced the MSA (Modern Slavery Act) while other EU members still debated about possible legislations. So it's not as if the UK is a legal vacuum and has advantages over the EU in this respect. In my view, tax advantages are more obvious: Anyone who sells a company that they run as a self-employed person (or as a partner in a partnership), or has at least a 5% stake in a corporation (in which they are an employee or managing director), only pays 10% capital gains tax on the proceeds of the sale. To do so, he must have held a stake in the company for at least 1 year. There are a number of interesting tax advantages and tax breaks in the UK that can be exploited in a targeted manner if they are cleverly structured. In individual cases, the UK can be extremely interesting - especially for foreigners with high incomes and assets.

In all honesty, as a fashion merchandising student none of this is surprising. When I was a kid I remember hearing how secretive Chanel brand was about where their handbags were made. That was until my military cousins would bring Chanel, Gucci, or LV back to the US at a discount price. Yes, their bags were real but they informed us how affordable they were outside the US. It made me wonder then, if someone gets fired from working from one of those famous shops, what would really stop them from telling secrets and making the bags on their own at a discount price for their target audience🤔 If you watch the Gucci movie, my point is actually proven….

If this were a US healthcare company, they would be liable for any vendor’s decisions. We are the company we keep.

This similar situation was documented in the mirror of high-end fashion by DW Documentary. it was available in youtube couple years ago but i cant find it anymore :( basically brand like gucci, maxmara was mentioned there too.

Dacob, let’s not exaggerate, the Dior bag was most likely around $5 to produce not $57….

[@SuperDacob]

Hahaha possibly buuuut 57 is what the manufacturer allegedly charged LVMH for it. They of course also need to make a profit when charging 57… so the production and labor and materials of course needed to cost less in order for the manufacturer to still be able to make a profit after selling it to LVMH for 57. Allegedly

Great video! I don’t think there will ever be an “end” to luxury. There will always be people who want to demonstrate status through material goods. There will always be people who can afford to spend whatever they like on whatever they like. There will always be people who cannot afford to purchase coveted items but continue to do so in order to look like they can. These companies will always be fine because people will always give them their money. Our society would need an entire psychological overhaul to ever end luxury.

[@specialsasha6506]

That’s normal we all know that these luxury brand the cost of making is really LOW. But all we r paying for is The logo / the name / the brand.

[@TheAlinaCretu]

Oh God, this is anything but luxury to me now. 😢

[@flowerlace2071]

I’m just so happy im done with luxury things

[@elsafralves]

Amen

[@bnb0510]

If they would dig deeper I’m sure they would find similar if not worse practices in all of these luxury houses.

This really erodes Dior brand. I went to the Met to look at the Sleeping Beauties exhibition, and Dior dresses on display were executed with such high level of artistry and precision, they easily stood out among other designer creations. I also went to the boutique a week ago to look at the new collection. There was a gorgeous hand embroidered knit on display for $4,000. I admired it from afar, but I wondered what drove that price. Probably the embroidered butterflies. Well, if Dior pays the craftspeople who made the knit cents on the dollar I’ll go somewhere else. There are multiple designers on the market that make gorgeous knits for a fraction of the price.

This is not new. There is a reason why Primark etc walk away unscathed when news comes out about factories where workers are chained to machines or doors locked. Using a third party absolves all responsibility of conditions and drives prices downwards. The annual invoice of 752k means that this factory produced almost 15 k bags produced by 32 people. That's 500 per year almost. Add to this all the other brands they work for and it makes the apple iPhone factory look like UNICEF! Look further at the third party hardware suppliers and you will see horrendous treatment of Senegalese workers.

I wanted one but I have seen tons of complaints about glue showing in the interior!

[@jq77]

I'm not surprised with the use of "minimise" - they are speaking in Legalese. Sigh.

[@martineK919]

do you think this is part of the reason Viard quit Chanel? Wasn't she against "American" production models?

[@sbellouk4146]

You now imagine e how the conditions for workers who work for subcontractors for Primark, Zara, Mango etc! And how much they earn for their wor!!!. The cycle continue only if ppl carry on buying!

[@Munchkina]

Thank you for speaking up about this. I don’t see many luxury YTs addressing these findings 🤔

[@LifeAccordingtoMaria]

As they say, you have to break a few eggs to make an omelette. And that’s the way LVMH operates.

[@93Nippon]

To cover up the scandal, they just announced their new “ambassador” Rihanna. So people can already forget about it 😢 Funny that they also published a survey over the book tote on their youtube channel 😂

[@kimberlycarpenter7667]

57.00 is also a lie. It did not even cost them 5.70 to make that bag.
