LVMH’s Dior Under Scrutiny for Allegedly “EXPLOITING” Outsourced Workers 24 Hours/Day
Some allege these Dior bags cost around €53 to make their luxurious bags. Their bags are being sold for €2,600 a pop.
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.
