TBF it’s only about ripping off the rich and gullible population. Venial sin.
Hope Stone Island don’t do this, only designer brand any self-respecting Bazza should own
It’s a great way to milk stupid people for money though.
Pedro discovered global market and cheap labour
one of my best friends has worked for hermes and followed a cursus from them to make their famous leather stuff she shows me and it was nothing like this !
I think we’re watching fakes being made.

I don’t care about (wannabe) rich people being scammed, but is this legit? China makes a lot of fake stuff, why should this be true? I mean, it’s a TikTok video.
Won’t this backfire? If you’re selling directly to customers the merchandise won’t the companies just stop hiring you? Maybe that’s the point though…
I’m sure any greedy company would do any kind of shady stuff to maximise their profits, so I won’t defend them, and luxury brands are in general a scam targeted at rich people (as a symbol of status), so no complaints there. BUT don’t believe a shit you see on tiktok, as it is well known to be a CCP propaganda tool.
That’s Chinese copies. You know, contraband. Fake shit.
Rich chinos also love those brands to feel superior to people that cannot afford those products, meh. Hypocrisy from all sides.
This surprise no one, I hope, the surprising part is the claim of illegal adding the “made in here” sticker
China trying the funny. We know. That is why Temu and other shit is trending. At the same time, I’m a proud owner of a pair of hand crafted Italian sneakers (actual made in Italy) that have lasted me nearly 10 years and have yet to break.
Edit: quality is still in Europe. Simply the big brands are not “quality”, they imitate it. To find really good shoes or dresses you don’t have to buy Luis Vuitton, you need to go to the small shop, the little brands.
Or, as other comments pointed out, the video could simply be exposing how fakes are made. Copies. I wouldn’t be surprised, being China the biggest infringer of copyright laws in the world.
This is so dumb. Yes, of course you can buy copies of European brands from China. But the quality is not the same, even if they are good at faking it.
At the same time, luxury brands in general are often way more overpriced than the quality justifies
I thought all this was public knowledge. When you go to Beijing, one of the most popular visits is (or was 20 years ago, when I was there) the “market of copies”, a multistorey building with different grades of copies. The best grades are not actually copies, but the exact same L&V bag, made in the same factory but only at raw materials and manufacturing costs plus a reasonable profit. The X10 excess you are paying in Europe is supposed to be for design and exclusivity: you don’t want poor peasants to be able to afford the same silly bag you are showing off.
No no no, Armani is made in Italy.
By Chinese sweatshops near Prato.
Ok so why do Chinese tourists crowd come to Paris everyday to buy at Paris price?
I know it feels good to “expose” rich people but be careful believing these so-called exposé videos.
It feels good to say all luxury bags are made in china and then brought to Europe and bla bla bla, but it’s simply not true. There are incredibly harsh rules about being eligible for the “made in Italy” label for example, and so no, the Gucci bag are NOT made in china. Now if you made a video about how there’s a valley in ROMANIA where the majority of luxury brand goods are actually made but not assembled and then assembled in France and Italy to circumvent the “made in Italy” laws then…that’s actually true.
People really needed a TikTok to know this?
And do I need to explain that luxury is not on the quality but on the brand?

Chinese propaganda 🤦
Based Pierre/Luigi W
People who think a Chinese-made dupe is quality-wise the same as a Hermes or LV product should be placed in facilities for the mentally challenged.
There’s some absolutely wild claims being made in these circulating videos. A ring’s worth of gold costs more than 2 dollars, so that means those are not real jewellery they’re making. Same when they say a bag costs 5 dollars to make, that doesn’t even begin to cover the raw materials of a quality leather bag, regardless of where it’s made in the world. You’re either making plastic products or using lowest quality trash leather.
1: Bwahahahahahaha! To all of you who spend ridiculous amount of money on fashion.
2: Good on them for exposing these fake brands
The real ones are to empoverish the yankees
If most people value status over function then you put a price on what’s most valued. Then they say we’re not all Marxists… The idea that a thing has an objective inherent value for its function is his, which as you can see is not a very bright idea.
The same applies to Apple products, or any car that costs more than a Panda etc etc.
Did people not already realise that 90% of what luxury brands sell is a massive overpriced scam?
This is true for Nike and other garbage qualifying brands.
But high luxury brands aren’t made in China.
Except those cheap t-shirts with huge cheesy logos on it for the masses.
They aren’t ripping us, they are ripping the savages. I bet 80% of their sales are outside Europe or to tourists visiting Europe
Well it’s not quite the same…what the chinese proposes..with the french are doing…
