The luxury house Christian Dior owned by luxury conglomerate LVMH has been under scrutiny from the fashion world for allegedly exploiting their workers. It appears that this is not just exclusive to the brand as other brands could possibly be involved with the same “industry tricks” as well.
Reuters states, a court has placed an LVMH subsidiary, maker of Dior handbags, under administration amid allegations of subcontracting to firms mistreating workers. This follows similar actions against Armani for oversight failures.
The Milan court’s decision reflects a broader crackdown on systemic abuses in Italy’s luxury fashion industry, which relies heavily on small, often Chinese-founded, manufacturers. Investigations revealed poor working conditions and illegal employment practices among Dior’s suppliers.
While Dior faces no criminal charges, the subcontractors are under scrutiny for worker exploitation. Additionally, there are claims that these workers are working 24/hours by sleeping in their factory compounds.
Luxury YouTube commentator, SuperDacob states that the amount of money customers are paying, it is a surprise that this is being said. For the most part, luxury lovers are all in shock and they are claiming to start boycotting the brand in lieu of the alleged scandal.
Others fear that the Dior bags they own will lose their resale value. However many state that these bags do not hold their value well to begin with. Some allege their bags cost around €53 (RM267) to make their luxurious bags. Their bags are being sold for €2,600 (RM13,133) a pop.
Will this be the end for these designer brands? Fashion lovers disagree as individuals will still purchase these items despite the rumours and claims towards the fashion house.
