> Generally this is frowned upon in the West. India and Vietnam wouldn't tolerate it either Yes, "frowned upon" is the perfectly realistic way to describe it.

> Generally this is frowned upon in the West. India and Vietnam wouldn't tolerate it either Yes, "frowned upon" is the perfectly realistic way to describe it. Dior was just caught using slave labor including illegal immigrants in Italy (so they can say "Made in Italy" on the label), all working round the clock shifts and sleeping locked in the makeshift factory, operating machines with safeties disabled so they're more productive, making 2700E handbags for 53E [0]. The court just called it "Unethical Supply Chain" but no criminal charges. Luxury brands are "put on notice". > thousands of small foreign-owned manufacturers supply luxury brands with goods that can claim the prized “Made in Italy” label but are produced at “Made in China” prices. If you thought now you can sleep well but still buy cheap (or even a 2700E handbag) because your product isn't made in China, think again. And this isn't just Italy, it's everywhere. And it isn't just iPhones or Dior handbags, it's almost every cheap thing you buy and some expensive ones too. Business owners are greedy and chase profits, and customers are cheap and don't care beyond their own needs and wants.
