Luxury Brands Are A SCAM

Video Description

#luxurybrands #overconsumption #deinfluencing Luxury brands are conning people into spending insane amounts of money through deceptive manipulation tactics. Brands like LVMH, a fashion conglomerate that owns Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, Fendi and many others are one such brand that marks up their items significantly through clever marketing and leveraging celebrities and luxury influencers to endorse them. It was recently revealed that Dior paid just $57 to produce a bag that they sold for nearly $2,800 to customers. They were also accused of using sweatshops similar to fast fashion brands like Temu and SHEIN. In this video, I deinfluence you from luxury brands by revealing the behind-the-scenes happenings of LVMH and other luxury brands that elucidate how little value luxury, and designer goods really have and how they are a direct result of worker exploitation. Through the overconsumption of luxury brands, we are complicit in the exploitation of workers across the globe.
