Dior Scandal Is Just The Tip Of The Iceberg!

When it comes to fashion, everything is all fun and games until you decide to sneak peek behind the scenes. Sometimes you see beautiful, inspiring stories, sometimes you find a creative mastermind and adore their works of art, and sometimes… All you have is a dystopian scenario where you see the less fortunate working their fingers to the bone just to get by. You know what they do with those fingers? The most prestigious, luxurious fashion items rich people adore. Some people are dying to get one of those items, while people who’ve been actually making them arewere working in the worst conditions.
Okay, it’s a bit harsh, I know. But the other day, I uploaded my Dior video where I praise the brand, and right after that, I read the recent allegations and I’m more than disappointed. This recent incident made me want to take a look at other brands and their working conditions. Sadly, Dior is not the only luxury brand that exploited its workers… So today, we’ll take a look at what’s been happening at Dior, as well as other prestigious luxury brands.

    Sorry but for paying high end prices for their products, I expect ALL of their products are made in their OWN factories by their OWN well trained and well paid employees, and not some outsourced illegal factories! There’s no excuse! You might expect this to happen with Michael Kors, but not if you shop at any of the LVMH brands. But I think people are right and buying designer brands is nothing more than expensive fast fashion anymore

    The whole thing is one big sweatshop from the factory to the store to corp hq. I used to work for one of the big "luxury" houses and it was the opposite of luxury behind closed doors. Everything they do they want cheaper - suppliers, partners, employees, heck even the office furniture and computers are crap. They are bullies because they can be, meet their pricing and terms or get blacklisted. And customers are getting hosed. I've worked for "discount" brands and usually found great people because the margins are slimmer, you actually need to be good at your job. When margins are so fat everyone can be aholes and keep their jobs as long as they keep cutting costs and customers keep buying. Don't buy from the luxury houses, not only are you are getting screwed but you're enriching the worst kind of people without business ethics.

    How is any of this a revelation? This has been going on for decades. You would have to be living under a rock not to know this well known industry fact. Why do you think that so many manufacturers of almost everything went to China or some of the poorest countries in the World in the first place? You also have to think about culture and economies of scale to get some sort of perspective. You have to know that many of these countries didn’t even have a middle class until some of these opportunities came to their coasts. That doesn’t excuse the abuse, but the disingenuous out-rage disguised as some sort of newly minted expose is kinda ridiculous, especially after the dust settles and everything goes back to the way it was before. Lots of outrage, not many substantive solutions.

You want to buy them, YOU SUPPORT THIS SYSTEM.The laws in place are anything but discriminatory, if anything the Italian laws are apt to protect workers of any nationality a lot more than workers in the US. The culprit of this exploitation are the companies that allow it by turning a blind eye to it. The fine was laughably low? I wonder why with the lawyers LVMH and friends can afford! And this has been going on a lot longer than 8years 😂 the first public Report that came out about Chinese illegals stitching Givenchy bags in Naples aired on Italians TVs in 2009.

Less than $100 bucks to make a bag that they sell for thousands, why wouldn’t they want to point the finger at fast fashion companies.

There should be a reason why prices are so high, not just "because we are soooo premium and want to be inaccessible for most if the people, thus be special ". And to be ethical for THEIR prices is obligatory. Nowadays they save on workers, on materials, on designs (not much of the uniqueness anymore in the premium segment)... why should we still pay premium prices then? Even super reach people should ask themselves the same quastion. Common... if quality is poor, nobody needs this even for 30% the price.

    The made in Italy label doesn't mean much anymore. For one, most of the work is done in china/turkey/romania etc and then imported in italy for the finishing steps if the brand cares of at least following the law and do the legal bare minimum in order to be allowed to use the made in Italy claim. Realistically most brands just commit fraud and apply the made in Italy label on clothes made entirely abroad. When the made in Italy label is legit, it still isn't any guarantee of ethical nor quality work: most of the work is done by overworked chinese people in Prato, in chinese-run factories that open and close in a few months and reappear under a different name in another address. If the brand wants to be perceived as luxurious it usually outsources the work to an italian-run factory that will outsource most of the work to several chinese factories. Most of the time the italian factory will just add the label and buttons. Same goes for leather goods made in Tuscany where the working conditions are even more cruel. It all starts in farms where punjabi men are sleeping in barraks or with the cows, then the leather is treated in tanneries where african men are literally treated as slaves, exposed to harsh chemicals and beaten by the tannery owners, then the product is assembled by chinese workers. Every italian knows this, every italian knows that chinese workers in chinese run factories sleep in filthy conditions on the second floor of the factory and unfortunately kids can be found sleeping on top of piles of garments and near dangerous machinery. This happens in chinese apparel shops too, children come back from school and sleep on the floor of the shop surrounded by smelly clothes and desensitized customers. The Chinese owners don't see anything wrong with this but I was shocked when I witnessed it.

    The price of a product is build on the market where the customers buy it. The price is, what costumers are willing to pay. On the market there is no relation between costs of production and price. It is quite normal, that todays luxury products are sold for up to hundreds of times as the production costs are. You can buy a normal cotton T-shirt for $ / € 1.000 from many brands like LV. This is the reason why Bernard Arnault, chairman of LVMH, with a net worth of $158 billion is one of the richest persons in the world. He sells you a T-Shirt other brands sell für $ 30 and cover production, distribution, marketing and sales for $ 1.000. Luxury once meant special materials, high quality and craftmanship. Today it is just a marketing claim and luxury brands fear the day costumers recognize this and the bubble bursts.

    All workers are being exploited around the world. That is a fact as old as time; and to not realize these big designer houses don’t practice mass production (fast fashion) is us sticking our heads into the sand to be oblivious to what is happening and has been happening. These designer houses make their money through mass production of certain consumer goods vs their haute couture collections - because is really going to wear a lot of those creations out in public?! Less than 1% will dare, especially if they have the coins to do so. The haute couture collections are far from being affordable expensive, it’s the OG of “quiet luxury”. Once a product gains popularity, these designers (i.e. owners of the brand) will jump on the opportunity to make a huge profit, hence they’ll rev up production. It’s a cycle that SHEIN follows as well as Dior - who they learned the practice from originally. Dior is not new to this, they’re true to it. As well as Chanel and LV.

    I'm tired of this dumb discussion. Sewing in a factory is is done like a conveyer belt. one person sews cuffs all day. Another sews collars. Another sews pockets. one sews sleeves, etc, etc. then those pieces are app put together. few people sewing would even be aware of how to sew an entire garment, never mind Haute Couture. flat felled pockets are sewn by template now. Dior quilted leather bags are done by machine where other than laying the leather on the sewing bed, its done completely by machine in under one minute. the people of Peru who raise the goats for the cashmere are paid market rate for the wool. it goes to the processors who clean the wool, as its filthy when removed from the animals. there it will be carded and spun. it then goes off to the mills to be either woven into cloth to be turned into clothing or knitted into knitwear. the only difference between Dior and Primark are the fabric quality and the length of the stitches. designers use silks, wools, cashmere, merino, linen , Egyptian cotton , viscose (wood fibre) and sometimes high quality synthetics. designer stitch length is 2.2 on the sewing machine and cheap clothes are sewn at 3.5 with heavy top and under stitching in the same length. further, no factories have to provide their own fabrics. they are provided by the design house and will often already be cut and bundled ready to sew. even the thread is supplied as the thread must match the cloth. most factories work 24 hours with three shift. if anyone is working more than that, its overtime. the big companies produce millions of garments and accessories each, every year. that's mass production. if people want top luxury made by hand, go to an artisan and not a retail shop. they make between 12-70 thousand burkin bags each year. 80,000 pairs of gucci moccasins sold in the us alone in 2023. gft is the worlds biggest manufacturer of designer clothing: Before being sold in 1994 to Gemina, one of several companies owned by the legendary Giovanni Agnelli, Gruppo GFT (Gruppo Finanziario Tessile, or Textile Financial Group) was the world's largest manufacturer of designer clothing, competing at the highest end of the fashion business with ready-to-wear designer collections, one step below made-to-order haute couture. Its success is rooted in its unparalleled history, cutting edge technologies, well-organized labor practices and thorough understanding of fashion as an expression of contemporary culture. Innovative and flexible in an ever changing market, GFT single-handedly revolutionized the way artistic clothing was conceived, manufactured, marketed, and distributed. Its heart was on the pulse of social trends and needs, keeping it way ahead of its competitors.

    The brand is not the one who owns the factory nor the one who hire the workers. Let’s be honest different countries make lower amounts for work culturally and the brand can’t just tip a extra million or hundred million to change the infrastructure of your country. Let’s be honest if vicuña wool is the gas of your economy then what are you doing to better capitalize on that. We can’t exploit something that you are selling as a society. I buy fabrics and textiles from all over the world respectively from the weavers, spinners, farmers and mills at whatever price they ask even if I feel like they charging me more because I’m American so they think money when doing business. You can not scream culture appropriation, it’s more so culture extortion now days when you don’t even know if I sourced the fabric from some wholesale textile warehouse. This is real life how scary it even is to use a particular fabric for a collection you randomly bought for the color leading to a bad reputation and it’s just hurts but that’s why I do my job to pay whatever they ask without devaluing the time, effort and resources they put into making this textile.
