I so agree that the way a luxury brand treats its workers, artisans, and customers is ALL part of being considered a luxury brand. IMHO, you can't truly be a luxury brand if any one of these parts is missing.
Thank you Monarch! 🙌
To me, luxury pricing is really just to sustain the brand...to pay for their marketing, their global real estate around the world, their SA...and at the end the product.
Great point! At one time the end point product represented quality and craftmenship. Less of a concern now
Don’t forget all those influencers trips and products they sponsored. Your hard earn money very much fund some strangers’ trip, and gifts.
@@User9781yt Yeah, I considered that part of marketing. The trips are the real cost....the gifts probably cost very little to produce :P
So Dior said they weren't aware of these working conditions and they ALSO forgot to issue statements disclosing their labor practices🤨
YES! I wonder why👀
😂
They’re liars😡
@@themodel05 Dior is just a money-making puppet in LVMH hands. I would not expect any moral values from LVMH
Interest that the UK is concerned about modern slavery but is increasingly trying to curtail the rights and freedoms of their own citizens. Consistency matters more than self righteousness.
The shareholders dont care about the workers but they at least know part of the dream behind Dior is the illusion of craftmenship. The quality and working conditions is no better than contemporary.
Yes it shouldn't be on the investors to sound the alarm when something is wrong.
I think Dior saying that they are unaware is not going to cut it. Especially the marketing videos and that LVMH also has other scandals even in acquiring raw materials for their brands. It’s shocking how many influencers who work with Dior, but do not speak up about it for the sake of money. When the livelihood of workers are at stake. For me, it’s weird that a lot of fashion bloggers/influencers who work with Dior, they don’t buy or wear Dior, unless when they attend the shows in the past few years. Now it’s only a matter of time before other brands’ surfaces.
Yes! So true the marketing videos are intentional. Yes it really will be interesting to see the influencers, celebrities, etc that work with these brands, their next steps. Agree more brands will be exposed. Thank you for watching Isaac🙌
I just bought a new Rimowa suitcase, this is making think I should return it and buy something non-LVMH owned.
Oh it’s bad.
Not luxury at all.
What a scam.
Now wonder the truly wealthy people don’t buy this stuff.
Thank goodness for vintage.
By the way, Max Mara is under fire as well. What a shame.
Max Mara was exposed years ago in the New York Times for paying elderly Italian women as little as 1-2 dollars per hour to make coats.
Also very weathly people purchase luxury brands but based on how well items are made and natural materials, not logos or expensive polyester dresses.
@@chrisjone7555 this is not true
Wealthy people buy LVMH products. They buy much more than aspirational consumers. Luxury retailers and brands have been shifting their strategies to specifically cater to the top 1% of earners.
@@chrisjone7555 Exactly. Things that last and always look good no matter the “trend”.
love how intelligent your channel is
Hi Mary another great video thank you for keeping us all in the loop even if it’s on these reprehensible actions 💚💚💚
Thank you so much Birkinboy❤❤❤
Madame thank you for the information.
I am a business merchant. I do have sweat shops where harsh environment exists. This is why you cannot control outsourced companies. LVMH cannot be penalized because the factories are not in France. You need to understand, nothing you wish will happen, even if slow consumption occurs. Chanel at Russian stoped and girls cut their bags. Then they traveled to Dubai and bought everything again. The quality is not up to standard. I buy it for the name. This is because I am shallow. And I am not ashamed of it. I am shallow.. companies once caught like mine did, switched to new places and showed images of safe environments. Yet in the end. It’s just pictures and the story never works. So, children, women and men will work for living in undeveloped countries to survive and we (the front line) need to keep the story alive and conceal the truth. And if you read carbon emissions or sustainability it’s never never true. We just pay a country to buy out our carbon certificates so that they could produce more carbon in their end. Monetary business ethics would not stop. Employees never complain and we do not explain.
"girls cut their bags" Could you explain this a little bit.
Thank you for your perspective. Very curious to know in your harsh sweatshops what are the conditions like for the child workers?
Cut costs, cut costs, cut costs, we need more and more money…that’s the prevailing business mantra . Don’t support them, I am sure you all know small local producers who can provide the products you need ethically.
Great points!
can we all agree that luxury houses lie all the time about production and conditions and try to put the blame on a 3rd party instead of actually ethically doing there research they knew the conditions of these factories there trying so hard to pass the blame to other peoples instead of the brands. boycott for ever.
Yes! There are so many loopholes and there is no incentive to do anything about it
Hi Mary, I have two words money grab from the Italian . The Italian press used the word " slavery " to try to slow down and damage LVMH cash flow. Have a look at DW video on luxury this have being going on for along time. As you said they did not mention about Armani this indicate a money grab for Italians brands. cheers
This saga reminds me of the book "Deluxe: how luxury lost it's luster" by Dana Thomas, which was published some time ago now in 2007! By the way, I think once you mentioned a German, maybe Berlin based youtube channel, but it's only in German. I wondered if you remember the name of it? I remember the youtuber from that channel had great style but I can't remember the name.
If you happen to be someone who is completely shallow and only cares about the brand's name... there are still limits. These companies are getting exposed and we just can't unsee it. If I had all of the money in the world along with zero ethics, I still can't time travel ten or twenty years backwards to when these brands seemed special, mysterious, etc. We all knew that their products had insane levels of markup but RUclips and all of these exposés have ruined most of the hyped luxury brands for me, personally. I used to enjoy LV bags and that aesthetic is no longer my preference.... but if I occasionally see a bag in a style that I like, any affection for the bag is overshadowed by elements like this scandal, knowing that the quality has declined, and knowing that Arnault became one of richest men in the world due to his shady business practices. They just don't speak to me anymore as being special in most ways and so many people are now aware of these scandals that most won't consider you special for wearing a Dior or LV bag (for example). Just rich enough to purchase. So choosing to be "be shallow" is kind of for naught. The golden eras of Christian Dior and Louis Vuitton wherein beautiful design was coupled with high quality materials and craftsmanship, PLUS owners who weren't willing to sell their souls for profits, has long passed. People are holding onto the heritage and it's probably time to let go.
Yes, to me a large appeal with luxury was the craftmenship aspect, and now I am becoming less and less enamoured by these brands. We are no longer in the golden era, more like Luxury is going into the dark ages. Thank you for watching and sharing your perspective❤️
€3 per hour, Asian workers without work permits who work 7 days a week, sleep, eat, and wash in the same hall where DIOR bags are produced for €53. Meanwhile, this French group LVMH poses as a company representing ultimate luxury. I am convinced that this French group LVMH continues to collaborate with factories worldwide, where workers are treated like slaves.
Workers and artisans with this kind of talent and skills have little opportunities elsewhere? Why is anyone working there? Are heads rolling?
These companies know no shame and unless they are HEAVILY fined, I doubt changes will be more than cosmetic.
Yeahh I'm afraid little will be done
Nice necklace and belts
Thank you!!
@@MarysRoom your welcome
I know I buy these brands for their names so I’m not really affected by it. Life is unfair. surprise surprise!
Unfortunately, it seems to be a symptom of the corporate greed that is demanded by these large conglomerates like LVMH. These publicly traded companies expect never ending profits that always go up. There’s only so much cost-cutting that can be done without endangering peoples livelihood, safety, and even the quality of the products that are made.
I wish LVMH cared as much about the working conditions of their employees, as they care about profits.
Yes if a business endangers its workers for profit, how well is it really being run?
