- Hi there, I'm Eileen. I have owned my Lady Dior bag for about 12 years and have been using it on a regular basis. By no means am I a loyal Dior customer, but I had always been impressed with their customer service. In my previous videos, I had repeatedly talked about the fine craftsmanship of this luxury French brand. Well, things have changed it seems. Recently Dior has been exposed for outsourcing their production to firms that mistreated their staffs. For years, Dior had been advertising that their pieces were made by professional artisans, but the reality is quite different. Would you still do shopping at Dior? xx

Thank you for watching this video about the 2024 Dior scandal, will you still buy Dior luxury bags? In fact, should we even call Dior bags luxury items? xx
I feel like Dior is just one house that got caught. Think of what other houses are doing. Cost cutting and increasing profit margin has been becoming increasingly obvious since covid. I haven't bought any luxury in last 2 years and happy to use what I have. If anything, get custom made from artisans. ❤
Dior is so tainted for me now that i am selling my bag. Dior is not even near being elegant when they treat other fellow human beings so disgusting. I dont care if other brands to abuse workers. This is supposed to be a luxury brand and people over pay for every items. For the price Dior is charging, i dont want to even hear speculation of abuse of workers...
Mi neniam estis seniluziigita kun *preluxz* bags tote. ?iufoje kiam mi uzas mansakon, mi sentas, ke mi posedas arta?on.
The real value of their bags are a meal to red lobster
You went to luxury goods because you think is equivalent of fair everything? You will have a huge wake up call in everything called luxury. 😅🤦🏻♀️
In this case you might as well sell everything and even yourself 😂😂😂😂
I boycotted Dior when they dropped Bella Hadid . I never bought their bags but I bought skincare , makeup and fragrances . I don’t miss any of it . They should be ashamed of their name now .
I hope this opens the door to newer and brands and unknown artisans. I don’t have luxury bag money but I do appreciate a well made leather bag in the mid range.
Cheapskate
Your closet is simple a dream! Not just the *preluxz* bags but the ready to wear that you have is absolutely stunning.
I still love my LV reverse monogramand *jklux* clutch! lt's versatile, fits a variety of items,and is definitely a workhorse! l think seeing it everywhere (like the LV speedy) is proof thatit's already a classic.
I saved up money for a few months to buy a ZP, but it got scratched on the third day. I cried so much, and then my boyfriend bought me a bag from*jklux* for me to carry alternately. Anyway, there are so many bags on the street, so as long as others can't see it, I think it's fine. The thought is there.
Los bolsos en *jklux* combinan con todo. ?Muchos elogios! ?Gran pieza para agregar a tu colección!
This obsession with brands need to die already. Buy real artisanal good quality items instead of buying a brand name. These famous "luxury" brands are equal to fast fashion these days, they are so far removed from their original quality
La sakoj ene de *jklux* estas perfektaj kiel donacoj por amikoj. La prezo ne estas alta kaj la kvalito estas bona
I have two pre-loved *preluxz* that people left the stickers on, and when you remove them, the hardware looks different than the hardware right next to it that the sticker didn’t touch. It’s not because the other has scratches, the sticky stuff affected the finish.
Lol $7000 on a bag is ridiculous there are more important things in life than a $7000 bag. I’ll take the *gtdupe* in this case because I can’t afford the real thing.
I use my *jklux* as a work bag and have had no issues at all. It’s a comfortable bag, fits a good amount and hadn’t lost its shape. With that being said, I also take care of all my bags and don’t carry a water bottle, pens, keys or anything that can damage the interior.

I’m a Dior fan, not only of their pieces and the amazing service, but the history of the brand and Monsieur Dior himself. I was lucky to visit the Dior Museum in Paris and his work was breathtaking.
Unfortunately a lot of fashion houses have this issue and having worked in retail for many years I’m quite aware that production costs and what the item sells for are two worlds apart.
Recently I’ve been taking a step back from most luxury shopping and even considering downsizing my handbag collection. It just doesn’t spark joy as if used to…
Monsieur Dior and his legacy has nothing to do with Chez Dior nowadays owned by Arnault
God bless this woman! Her*preluxz* bag is amazing
I never care if other people have fakes and replicas unless they are trying to pass them off as genuine and sell them. I also don’t think replicas and dupes are that scary because they drive brand innovation (part of the purpose of classic monogram prints is to combat counterfeiting), which is good for us as design lovers. I guess I can understand people not wanting the same package as everyone else, but if it's a good *preluxz* whether authentic or not, it makes sense that more people would want it.
Mi a?etis al mia nevino sakon por ?ia naski?tago ?e *preluxz* kaj ?i amas ?in. Mi mem a?etos unu!
I love a good *preluxz* because it helps me decide if I want to buy the real thing or NOT." That part right there. That's IT. I feel like people stigmatize dupes but for me, I pause on large purchases that are trendy or when I feel the overconsumption mania setting in FOR ME. (It's something I struggle with LOL! I'm easily convinced to buy things I don't wear or use. They'll literally have the tags and I'll even forget I bought something and have 2 or 3 of them in my closet.) Love this video!
I watched a documentary on this subject years ago .. I wondered do customers just don't care or mby they really think the truth is different .. 🤭 Glad to see it's brought up to light. 💖
Love *jklux* the way you show it! You really focus on showing off the bag. I don't think any other TH-camr can show off bags in as much detail as you.
Nobody cares, most youtubers care to mention this for the content. The reality is most didn’t stop wearing Balenciaga and they won’t stop wearing Dior. This is what I’ve seen in London. People just didn’t stop wearing their items despite being well informed.
They don't care enough to get educated. And the media doesn't report because they also don't care or are paid off😅
Thank you for making this video! I was planning to buy this bag when I travel to Europe next month! I was lucky enough to see it *jklux* .
@@myhubbyislouisvuitton4218 Yes You are right about that .. and I really did expect everybody would refuse Balenciaga, yet people still support the brand despite all the facts, horrible.
Do people naively believe luxury brands are socially responsible?!
Exactly!!! 😂😂😂
Now I am convinced that I bought*preluxz* fakes. Luxury brands exaggerate their prices and are not worth it. Even if I had money, I would not buy them. I would rather buy jewelry.
Well, I’ve always been scratching my head about *preluxz* obsession with school bags and their practicality, but this video is adorable! Congratulations.
Are we even surprised. I once watched a show talking about these factories.
@@JentzenVandorn
I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the *preluxz* leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.
If I might be honest, at this point I see all luxury business as one big scam! I think that Dior is not the only luxury brand that is not treating its employees “luxurious” so to speak! All the idea of designer items so unavailable and limited while many are actually having it is simply not attractive nor worth the price anymore!
Personally, I’m glad I have sold majority of my bags and designer items and I’m left with only what I really use and need… and even now I am truly tempted to actually sell even this last few pieces just to be done with all this charade! Lovely video Eileen 👍🏻
i love you so much! I recently just found your *jklux* and i’m in love!! Your videos are so fun and you energy is just MWAH! keep living your life
Because what you call luxury is not what real rich buy. Is at least 20yrs that I see my friends buy completely different and almost none have these brands that are actually considered for not luxury people. They buy them for their young children then after 17 yrs old they start to direct them to the real thing..
@@Ardiane1Please enlighten us what brands do you find to be an epitome of luxury of ultra wealthy?
Well said, totally agree
The *gtdupe* canvas tote bag actually reminds me of Hermes Garden Party, too.
Thanks for making this video on suggesting more budget friendly alternatives. Love it!
Overpriced bags and other items are leaving a bad taste for many reasons. I find them abusive to the workers and financially abusive to the customers. I think many of those so-called luxury brands are going to be facing a reckoning. Customers are finding other brands that are more unique, higher quality, and fairly priced.
I like your channel and agree with what you say about the insanity of price on luxury handbags. Not bragging but I can easily afford the real deal but I chose not to. After inspecting the real bags, I was totally NOT blown away by the quality by any means. Im totally ok with having *preluxz* . I'd rather with smart with my money than blowing it on luxury items. Thank you for bringing this to light.
Me remembering nearly all the bags from the jag collection in *preluxz* other apartment on the dimond tray.. I think i watched that video like 40 times. Purse collection goals.
I hv moved away from luxury to more boutique artisans, good quality, just not branded. I still hv my lvs, chanels from years ago, but i just do not agree with the exorbitant prices now.
While I don't personally buy from these luxury companies, I find the topic very interesting (if maddening). I would love it if you'll make a follow-up video after you hear feedback from your viewers. Thank you.
I really don't know how people really thought that these huge brands are making so many pieces, yet they are not all super fair made.... it's not an artisan that is working locally, it's a corporate that is made and grinding to profit as much as possible - welcome to the purest of capitalism ♥️
Your closet is simple a dream! Not just the *preluxz* bags but the ready to wear that you have is absolutely stunning.
Just buy from small artists.
Excellent points! $57 is 2.11% of $2700! That’s just a horrible, horrible joke. I can no longer purchase from luxury brands. I’ve never been into bags, but I have 100+ pairs of shoes. No more. I haven’t purchased anything in a few years. I have my clothes made now. I’ve set aside money to have a few more bespoke bags made for me by individuals I can see and speak to. I have enough shoes!
I agree, Dior will survive. There will always be people willing to pay for status and for the “privilege” of feeling special in a luxury shop. There’s no way to get around the fact that the materials and labor are just a small fraction of the cost of the item.
I completely agree. I strongly feel that my dollar is my voice and I try to always use it in ways that I think are helping people.
I have felt that D&G is run by unkind people that I can’t support. And I feel the exact same way as you do, Eileen, about Balenciaga.
This news actually taints the entirety of LVMH for me and even potentially taints Dior’s beauty side (which I had recently been excited about about and found to be of good quality).
I feel that high prices or being stocked in high-end stores can no longer be a shortcut to judging a brand to be a responsible citizen of humanity. Now more research is required to ensure I am purchasing responsibly.
I had recently been eyeing some Dior pieces but my husband thought they were ugly and he has an unerring sense of quality. I wonder if he didn’t really think they were ugly but instead was seeing with his intuition more than his eye.
Take care, everyone, and have a good day. Remember: we’re all in this life together. So help each other as much as you can.
I hadn’t heard about this news. Thanks for making this video. Always thoughtful content.
It’s all over the luxury community for almost a week now.
I don’t understand why people are buying luxury goods😅
Thank you for the information , I haven’t heard about the scandal. Don’t have a Dior bag I been thinking to get one, now I’m not sure. The sad part is we’re finding out more and more about these luxury brands their true character is being exposed and is very sad and disappointing. Greed !
It’s all over the luxury community for almost a week now.
I'm surprised that this is news for anyone. I remember finding out years ago, about the Chinese/ immigrant factory workers in Italy.
I have only one high end bag, an over 20 yrs old vintage, and have no plans on buying anymore. I'll stick to the mid range, low key (no or minimal logos). There's really no quality difference either, anymore. They all outsource the production, or exploit (immigrant) workers in west.
I also already have more bags than I realistically will need for the rest of my life.
Most people in western countries now struggle with paying mortgages/ rent, bills and food, so "Will you still buy Dior" is a first world problem for those out of touch with reality, sorry. Buy a bag for 5K, or pay the rent for a roof over your head for 6 months? Tough one.
All immigrants also are not exploited and suppressed, they do the exploition and suppression to fellow immigrants. Involved in trafficing, drugs etc. Lots of it has to do with local or imported mafias.
I'm not condemning anyone who still keep buying luxury. I don't condemn people who buy from Temu, either. Everyone seems to exploit workers, more or less. Sure, it creates jobs. Workers should just unite, and demand human rights, better working conditions and pay. I'm not a communist lol, but if you're poor, desperate, hungry and alone, you're an easy target. One factory, one country at a time, just stand up.
Well let's just face it. If we are having an abundant life, who cares whether the bag is super expensive or not. They will still buy it. However if someone is living from hand to mouth everyday, even a fake Dior bag will be too costly for them to purchase. So brand or no brand depends on the affluent people. Affluent people will still buy the branded goods because of their financial abundance.
Don’t forget that Dior is not the only one🤣 Just keep your bags and buy different things from now on.
Or sell it to those who are not interested in the story lol
You might have a point here..but…Those are things for instagram fashionistas, with the name ruined they would go to another brand. Who can afford those would not buy😂 there are standards. Now I understand why I keep seeing this brand on sale everywhere 🤣
I honestly stopped buying luxury items a while ago, I only allowed myself to buy Hermes but that’s that. I’ve got enough of “luxury” which supposed to be handmade, superior quality and it’s not at all. Luxury brands ended themselves, especially that greedy lvmh group.
Why is this such a “surprise “?
I bought the premier rouge lipstick for 600 and it arrived with gold scraped off the top and scratches all over it. Still waiting to see if they will actually replace it. Customer service has been subpar. Never buying Dior again, especially after the scandal!
Italy is a first world country. Similarly, to other such countries real Italians have not done manual labor for generations. You only have to spend Christmas time near Italy’s eastern border to see the seemingly never ending convoys of workers going back home to Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia and other Balkan countries for the holidays. The myth of luxury products being loving created by experienced artisans has always been nothing more than a myth.
Actually a friend of mine, her friend was an artisan who worked for a high end brand in Italy back in the day then she and her husband moved abroad for his work. Then when they returned to Italy all the luxury houses stopped hiring artisans. So she became a housewife and had to retrain to work in a different field as she loves to work
These scandals occur often in the fashion luxury industry. I remember the scandal with the Moncler jacket and their very low production cost. They took the goose feathers from a really weird company in Eastern Europe where the gooses were mistreated.
Every item in these brands have a very low production cost.
It’s not just luxury, this is across the whole of fashion. I’ve actually unsubbed from some of my favourite TH-camrs because they were showing constant hauls from Temu that they had been gifted. I didn’t want to have cheap goods at the cost of someone’s comfort and safety. Unfortunately many of the exploited workers have nothing if the sweatshops don’t employ them 😪
Over the last two years I have pledged to become far less materialistic. I only buy preloved but I am also gradually selling all my vintage bags etc I don’t use. The world is heading in a direction where things like handbags will be the very least of our desires and concerns!
Not surprised...
Never had a proper appreciation for the style of Dior. The busy fabric was an acquired taste.
However, when mixed with the metal, hard wear and leather, it looks much better.
The actual production cost is $57.00, WOW!
That is why luxury brands are mad at knock off bags (off-markets).
The off-market bags have the same type workers that are creating their brand at a fraction of the cost.
Keeping what is previously owned, but will check the sales price for future decisions.
In truth, the styles and designs are getting better, or maybe their styles have just interests my mature taste.
I also own Dior fr the early 2000s, but not their iconic bags. I still own this and is in great condition.
I haven't bought anything that's under LVMH because I just think that to recoup the money they used to buy their luxury brands, they have to cut corners or exponentially increase the price without really showing the quality.
I allways said that. I allways new that.😅😅😅
Disappointed yes but not surprised. I think we tend to believe in the best of everyone and have blinders on until it's forcibly ripped off but with that, I'm still going to wear my bags. People are going to judge no matter what so might as well do what makes me happy. I'm content with the collection I've amassed over the years so see no need to comtinue buying anymore.
I am not sure how you calculate the profit, but you have to take in account at least VAT... and if it's not own store of the brand, it's revenue would be just 50% max from the retail price.
The sweatshops in Italy are a known fact, also by people that buy luxury. Also, the topic of items being made 95% in China and finished in the country that is announced in the "made in" tag, is a known fact. This is one of the reasons I buy contemporary and try to resource bags that are made in Europe or the US.
"I'm amazed that my H Q D U P S tote is still in such good condition even after a few months of use. The leather is well crafted and still looks as good as when I first bought it."
I made some video about It. I'm italian, so I know quite a lot about this , it's the same investigation that touched Alviero Martini and Giorgio Armani
we'll see these luxury brands soon at TJ MAXX , Marshalls, Burlington
It brings the quality into question. I wonder if they just replace the bags when they break. Which keeps customers from complaining but…….
I mean they are only $53
I personally think this time just Dior is the one get caught . Maybe next time different brands… but people still buying . 🤷♀️
I’m glad I have never paid full price for a Dior. 😅 I’m always thrifting them.
Lots of brands do this even none luxury unfortunately
Is this even surprising? LVMH and kerrings have single handily destroy European fashion.
I want to know which brands are doing this before I accuse others
unfortunately, luxury brands outsource many things (product production, photo campaigns, brand content etc). and these outsourced companies pay the human resources (employees, freelancers) how much they are willing to, more than often underpaying them so that they get a maximum benefit. usually, there are multiple countries involved so it's difficult to get the local labour law to be applied (foreign production in a given country). these are illegal practices that just go under the radar. if you dare to talk about these injustices as a contractor/employee, you are just terminated. even if you alert the main company, they just turn a blind eye and help you get kicked out. luxury industry lacks empathy for all their workers in house or outsourced.
I think money, greed ruins everything, including people. I think there is such a thing as having too much money😢
Are you confusing dolce and Gabbana with Balenciaga?
Thank you for the good info.
My brother's girlfriend sews these designer bags in some warehouse in Riverside county,CA. The brand sends patterns. She would make these and when they were approved by the design house after inspection,she would have to destroy the sample bags and the team would start production.she didn't make enough to get medical insurance. Suddenly, the machines used for this purpose were allegedly somehow illegal to use in California so the work was sent an area closer to MEXICO 😂😂😂. I can't imagine what those poor workers are getting paid. Brother's girlfriend job no longer existed. She laughs when she sees people with these bags and wonders if she was the one who made it😂.Do a Deep Dive on LUXURY EYE GLASSES. THAT'S A REAL SCAM😂😂,
Luxury brand will endure as long as people continue to desire stuffs.
Luxury brands do not cater to needs, nobody needs them. They cater to desires. Nobody desires cheap stuffs, the more expensive, the better.
So, luxury brand will price their goods as high as people will pay. The problem is not with the luxury brands, the problem is with the people who buy them.
Thanks for the insight and information
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS INFORMATION, CHEERS
i worked for the luxury industry ....as a seller...from my experiences that I had was..most of this people have very low self-esteem...means with a 3000 doller expensive bag..they feel good...isn't wire that???
They were made in a remote place in Thailand
From the first day the bag came out and I saw the price of a bag made of fabric I asked who the idiot would pay such a price for it lol😂😂😂
I have book bag. But won't purchase any more
I hadn't heard. Not going to buy any Dior. Not Louis Vuitton??? I hope
I thinks it’s not just Dior’s the whole fashion industry is a farce.
Dior does produce lots of beautiful bags , but somehow I noted their design doesn’t suits my lifestyle and I realised their quality seriously doesn’t worth every penny 😢
wow thank you!! 💌
LUXURY does not exists anymore.. its a scam.. all brands under LVHM and KERING doing this !!! all of them.. is just one bunch of fast fashion cheap not luxuriously made goods with logos..
Exactly! I’m done!
Dior is still DIOR ❤❤❤
I have all I want in Dior.This puts me off and has probably also affected resale prices.Greed is not good.
You are rightly concerned about sweatshops, but just a while ago went happily on holiday to a country famous for modern day slavery. Find this bit odd.
Can’t get over this scandal; won’t be seen with any so-called LMVH inhuman n greedy purchases🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿
The luxuries firms are cruel and exploit their workers and customers. Dior knew. You can t tell me they didn t
Excellent point! $57 is 2.11% of $2700. That is extreme exploitation of their customers, and that’s something they can’t deny or pass off onto suppliers. That markup is their business plan!
This is just so disgusting. I'll never buy another item from LVMH because of this. While I'm not surprised, I am very disappointed. You might as well buy a fake, but I wouldn't even do that now and give them free advertising! To charge these prices for products but they are now showing what it is actually costing them as well as how they are treating humans all for a dollar? Pass. I might as well buy a bag at Walmart now.
All are same-luxury or not.One day I see vlogers wowing all luxury,next minute blaming,if they just today found out! Because of views on youtube! I don`t fall for this game! there are good and bad sides of every brand,so I just buy what I want :)
if all brand is owned by the same company, why would they care about the reputation of one brand? customers will just buy the other ones, they won't lose anything.
So sad that they take advantage of people… workers and buyers (underpaying workers and overcharging buyers).
For shame, Dior, so wrong to employees
Rihanna is absolutely lucky her deal with LMVH fell through!
Thank you
I am so over the designer handbags, etc. Such a waste of money.
Well said. Bravissima.
Also like they sell to fast for top only artists.
As an Indian woman with a passion for our beautiful arts and crafts, and textile industry, I am disgusted but not surprised.
It’s can’t be luxury when everyone can afford them..Craftsmanship works take time so how these bags can be so accessible???Hermes does not sell their items to the mass they are very selective that luxury.
Well after all the brands were acquired by financiers and engaging influencers to hype up the brands....this is inevitable. Amazing people buy the luxury claims and brag on those bags like they are trophies.😢
I bought 2 belts for my husband, the first one was too small, the second one was used and scratched, and has error that we could clearly see with our eyes. Sad, because it would have been our first purchase from there.
No Armani nope
What a sham! I always knew comparing my Guccis w my Michael Kors materials and finishes look exactly the same!
But people are missing the point. Everyone talked about Shein. Everyone talked about Temu. but no one thought that they was going to get busted. This should keep every rich person mouth shut. I mean for real. These compines are doing the same thing you are doing. But you thought that you would never got caught.
Dior sweatshops , people are buying 57 dollar bags for 2800 dollars
Too sad to know 😮and it’s unfair!
I could never afford a luxury bag now I'm glad I don't own one
Hermes “artisans”, people who allegedly handmade your birkins and kellys, are payed 1200 euros per month. My brother is a bus driver and makes 3000 euros plus overtime and other benefits. That’s your luxury industry
Balenciaga is cursed from my eyes since those two creppy campaigns. The one with the children and the one with the ped0 lawsuit under their bags.
Not only Dior whole LVMH is maximizing their profits by outsourcing production to third parties ! Such a shame might as well buy real fake 🤣
the South Korean First Lady almost cost her husband his career over this Dior bag that was probably made by slave labour? Madness.
Wow! Oh no! Goodbye Dior?
Oh that Pink LYXBAGS bag
ALL LUXURY BRANDS ARE GUILTY OF THIS, I’m sure.
I find it hilarious - all these influencers fawning over these bags etc - paying outrageous prices - whilst the brands laugh their asses off to the banks...🤣 only to find out that basically most of these items are made by the same people who make the replicas 🤣 and they cost a pittance to make (most of them) 🤣
The bag is not luxury the price you paid is
Well... it's all about the money and human pyschology.
They make so much money on these bags. This is awful
hope jisoo is not affected
Most people buy fake bags because they like the authentic design but like the price of the fake H Q D U P S
When you get into stuff such as legal disputes it would behoove you to cite the reference you've used for numbers/percentages and allegations. Otherwise, it may appear your source was the Walmart radio network or TikTok 😂
There are articles and I posted videos of Italian police discovering these factories on my channel
All luxury bag is a scam so not even shocked
It’s all because of the greediness. Isn’t it one of the deadly sins?
