Zackly...

Good point!

Exactly my thoughts also...

Right ?! 🙄

Yes! Wasn't that the reason for NOT buying a fake...hmmm...but now its the same, no, worse. Good point.

This is just Fast Luxury same as Fast fashion🤨

At least,shein sells their products directly from independent manufacturers

🤣

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

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

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..

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

Very very good question 🤔

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

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

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.

Good point

Its quite big in Italy at the moment, but I agree with you, the rest of the world does not seem to care at all and also many big companies have so much money that they can indeed pay for silence in many cases… allegedly…

I had no idea about this, but I am so turned off. I had bought my mother a perfume years ago, but I will not promote this treatment of their worker. Never buying Dior again.

And revelation. I won’t be surprised if those bags are expensive for money laundering and child exploitation. Who knows!!The likelihood is that maybe some prominent people have been arrested, just guessing!

💯💯💯💯

Yes, indeed!

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.

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 :)

@@kurisuchan07 the one I got is “Gold-Finish Metal and Silver-Tone Crystals” therefore just a golden colour. I know what you mean with correct phrasing. You have to be very informed customer in order to know how to ask the right questions as they clearly practise so called aggressive marketing 😆Yeah, I still enjoy it, it was a nice gesture, but I’m with you on the ways they go about it. It’s funny how those brands are expected to be perceived by us, potential customers, as luxury, and yet their ways are so cheap 😆😆 The hypocrisy… me, being a woman, and we are all informed customers here on Dacobs channel .. I’d rather take that money to independent jewellery makers and get my moneys worth in precious metals and precious or semi precious stones… my designer stuff bubble has burst some time ago

@@esterdrass4964 they’re looking for ways to be cheap… and we’ll be looking for ways to get our moneys worth. Including taking our business elsewhere and not spending money on them 😎

@@kurisuchan07 that’s right, us, truth seekers, on Dacobs channel wouldn’t get scammed 😆 While they try their tricks, we’ll get our money’s worth elsewhere… I’d rather spend that money with local independent jewellery maker, for precious metals and precious or semi precious stone jewellery. if they take their potential customers for idiots, we’ll take our business elsewhere. The funny part is,l that, while using those cheap marketing tricks, they still expect to be perceived by us, potential customers as luxury 🤣 there’s nothing luxurious about being perceived as a loser-client. No, thank you! 😂

Yep yep!!

Exactly. They’ve been doing this for YEARS. Years ago I learned that these super fakes are coming from the same place as the authentic and made by the same methods.

​@@Julia36Dthey sure are!

@@Julia36DThey’re literally not ugh yawn

​@edithandlez someone's mad lol. If you don't believe it continue to be fooled and spend $3000 on a $53 bag.

EXCELLENT point!!! Totally agree.

Machines are used in the process but people still say the bags are beautiful, and continue to buy them. The fact that they're made by people who happen to be Chineese should not exclude them from being artisans, in my opinion. The quality was good enough for Dior. 🤷🏿‍♀️

We are going to Florence and I plan to buy from a family that custom makes leather bags.

@@Its_chakecia. Of course, but, to work under those conditions is unethical.

​@@Its_chakecia respectfully, I think you are missing the point

@@IrishAnnie I bought a bag from a firm in florence named Buti--not sure they are any better but the story they told me was they are.... i love the bag and it is beautifully crafted.

I’ll buy one in Chinatown tomorrow and I’ll write 53 dollar on it with a fat black marker. I’ll market them the rest of the summer

Exactly! Brands should be paying US

Yes! I always thought that about the Dior book totes. And to think that women are so willing to give away their money so easily….

It is laughable!

You would think that, but you know the answer😎

It depends on the contract she signed with Dior... 👀 Knowing Dior under LVMH, I highly doubt it

The hypocrisy is unbelievable but then they are in the club and we ain’t in it!

Well not all knows this…thats why we better spread this news so many people will know…

Sad state of affairs!

Not only Dior. They spoil every brand they buy and milk as a cow.

Marc Jacobs totes are 100% worth it lol I swear

At least the quality of the Marc Jacobs bags seems to be good. Their working conditions are probably also crap though

@@BrighterThanYours agreed!!!!

Love Marc Jacobs bags. Got a few. They’re good quality and nice leather.

Same here. Its all gone way out of control. The end of luxury… 💖💖💖

Perfume and cosmetic are all same either…alledgedly dior sauvage is only 5 euro to make and let not forget eyeliner either from cheap brand to luxury brand came from one factory…just like sunglasses as well…

It always shocks me too each time I re-hear hard cold numbers 🥶🥶🥶

Amen!!!

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.

Thank you Adrienne 🥰🙏🏻💖

Thank you fabrylucy 💖

You are most welcome 🙏🏻

Disgusting, right?

Thank you DeeDee 🙏🏻💖🌅

Thank you for deciding to click on my videos and for staying with the fashion bunker Jolee 🥰🥰🥰 I wonder why you would flip past my channel all the years without clicking the play button on my videos? Were the topics or titles not interesting to you? Was I looking too bad on the thumbnails? Not relatable? 😉💖🌈

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

Thank you so much for you words of encouragement and for your support dear. It is a lot of endless work, sweat and tears to keep up digging for the truth and many people do not seem ready to open their eyes so often to me it feels like hitting a wall when sharing with people because they do not seem like they want to know anything else outside their own little scopes. 💖💖💖

@@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.

Agree!!!

Thank you dear 🥰💖🥰

Sorry I must be a bit ignorant then. I didn’t know this. I’ve been buying luxury for many years and had no idea. I’m flummoxed.

She posted something about it a few days ago. Also, maybe sometime last year she began talking about what is made in China with a made in Italy label. These fraud companies, that is what they are to me. They found a legal loophole to get away with shit at the expense of the poor. I remember trying to resell a very old Gucci bag through the Real Real..mint condition but they said it was too old...wonder how they feel about those too old vintage bags now. That is what the buyer wants and trusts.

Yes, there was a huge scandal due to the misuse of the "Made in USA" labels when it was discovered that major companies like Nike, Ralph Lauren and a number of others were actually having their products made in Saipan/Mariana Islands by indentured Chinese immigrants back in the 1990s/early 2000s. Obviously no one gave a rats a$$ because these companies still do well. We've gotten very good at ignoring the signs or is it willful ignorance? And yet people scream about buying fake bags from China--what's the difference?!

@@ladysusanjane2682 I am genuinely surprised how many people don’t know this, you’re not alone in only finding this out now. Maybe I’ve just experienced life from a different angle and had access to this, but for KZfaqrs who’s whole shtick is luxury, I’m really shocked that they’ve convinced themselves it must truly all be made in Europe and paid fairly

@@esterdrass4964 yes she did, although I think she was denying that items are made in China and then having the label stitched in in Europe (although maybe I’m thinking further back than a year). Luxury means you’re paying top dollar for a label. All this stuff is made in the same place for more or less the same costs. Sunglasses are by far the biggest rip off.
