The Terrifying World of Luxury Brands
The Terrifying World of Luxury Brands
In a world of luxury, we usually fail to notice the wrongdoings of brands around us. We like to go to a high-end store, buy a luxury handbag, and drink a cup of specialty coffee while waiting for our item to get wrapped up in exclusive packaging. But do you ever think about what lengths all these luxury brands such as Burberry go to in an…

Actually people are fool as they buy this items to prevent like ….. I don't know why brands want only money money money money and money.
i’ve got to say for years i really wished for some of these luxury brands. But lately the stuff looks like garbage and now that i can afford anything i’m not interested
To me this is the brands saying: our stuff isn't worth anything, it holds so little value, we burn it.
Solution 1 : produce less. Voila! Scarcity.
Solution 2: Print on demand but for garments.
Solution 3:(for the customer) Refuse to buy these brands. Instead make your own or hire a seamstress to make for you. Get it at a thrift store and alter or have altered to fit. This is what I do & it protects the environment and my money.
Coach would place them at outlets or amazon at discounted price.
I am officially designer-free, I returned my last 2 designer items, specifically sneakers, by Tod's and Prada this past Friday. I don't need these overpriced, high-maintenance, lack of quality items. Branding and history is all marketing to make you think you're buying high-end. You guys can have it all. I am so happy and confident to never have the need for designer luxury.
Stop trying to be funny by inserting film clips. They're distracting.
The only appeal of these brands is artificial status. Most of these products are ugly, and without the label, people would pass them up. Real rich people wear handcrafted, high-quality clothes and accessories and DGAF about being walking advertisements.
These products are not special. It's all about artificially manufactured exclusivity.
It just shows that luxury brands don’t care about luxury, it’s just about making money. And as long as exclusivity works to justify rising prices and brings in more customers than selling at a discount this will continue. Because let’s be real how exclusive are luxury brands if they market to the masses?
The real luxury and exclusivity would be to have only made to order products, like when you go to a tailor. But that would not be as profitable as pret a porter that can be bought on a whim.
I am so surprised that they are not in more trouble by doing all these things , especially there image should be tarnished forever….
There are ways of disposing of unwanted clothing that does not involve excertion of chemicals into the air. There are incineration methods that do not expel much of anything apart from h2o into the air but its literally cheaper to throw it on a ship to a 3rd world country and forget about it than pay a proper filtered incineration factory that produces electricity from the incineration goods. Its filthy practice.
“Worth 37 million”
Isn't the argument against buying fast fashion all about less waste? I think the current practices shoot that argument to hell.
Not wanting to hurt the brands image! How about not hurting the only planet we live on?
I both understand and take offense to this. They need to put it on sale or disassemble everything and reuse the materials.
Back in the 1980's a product came into the marked that turned some heads. They were pens which had a clear tube with shredded paper in them. And on the box it said, "This watch contains over $1,000. Because the paper was actually old money. Why couldn't these brands do the same thing but more upscale. Shred a bunch of purses, seal the pieces in a crystal vase and make a whole new luxury item. Do the same with clothes making sure the pieces were all the same color. "This vase holds three purses valued at $3,000." And then sell it for $500."
Influencer: "I just got the yellow. Which is the rarest color and goes for $1500 compared to the others which only go for $500."
Imagine the resale value of these glass items. Heck, you could even make glass pendants with purse scraps and people would buy them as long as they had a certificate of authenticity.
This is why i like that LV is going more in the direction of making pre orders. So the bags produced and in store would be limited. People have to learn to wait.
Just make them stop polluting the air and landfills, otherwise, they can do whatever they want with their merchandise
Too many memes inserted in this video it's annoying, some are too long as well. Also the fact that it's a serious topic, inserting comedic memes is just stupid. The video is better off without them.
Of course it’s irresponsible. Upcycling of the materials should be normalized. I don’t love Coach but I appreciate that they’re making a bid to do just that.
hii, whats the documentary?
"Stupid is as Stupid does" – "Quantity over Quality" How can you label Anything as a "Luxury Item" when it's soooo mass produced that you have to destroy your excess inventory that you couldn't sell in order to keep it's hyperbolized mark-up?!?
This needs to be illegal everywhere, not just the EU. Btw, the fast fashion brands also do the same- but on a much larger scale.
People should stop giving money to these companies
I feel they got a few folks sell the items on ebay and mecari
