Social media platforms are ablaze with shocking videos that have shaken the foundations of the luxury fashion industry. Individuals claiming to be Chinese manufacturers have asserted that they produce goods bearing the names of iconic brands such as Birkin, Louis Vuitton, and others, and are offering them for sale at prices that do not exceed one-tenth of their original retail cost.
In one video that went viral, a supplier claimed to manufacture luxury handbags for the renowned Birkin brand, where a single model can reach a price of $34,000 USD. The startling revelation was their offer of this “authentic” bag directly from the factory in China for a mere $1,400!
The matter did not stop there. Other Chinese suppliers offered enticing incentives to consumers, including covering import duties and providing free shipping, according to the “Money Control” website, as reported by “Al Arabiya Business.”
“Trump’s Trade War” Ignites Major Scandal: China Retaliates by Exposing Secrets and Selling Directly to the Public!
It appears that the repercussions of the fierce trade war launched by former US President Donald Trump against China, and his urging of companies to relocate manufacturing operations to the United States, have prompted Chinese suppliers to take an unprecedented step. These manufacturers have turned to social media to reveal details of their production of leading luxury brand products, such as Birkin, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Estée Lauder, and Bobbi Brown, and are offering to sell them directly to consumers at significantly reduced prices, often less than one-tenth of the advertised market price.
“Same Quality… But Without the Logo!” Manufacturers Explain and Disclose Costs
Videos have flooded the “X” platform (formerly Twitter), where numerous Chinese suppliers have provided detailed explanations of the high-quality raw materials and skilled labor used in the production of these luxury goods. They have also illustrated the breakdown of costs before offering to sell the “raw” products without the famous brand logos.
These videos have ignited heated discussions on social media, with many questioning the United States’ ability to win its trade war against China in light of this “scandal” that reveals China’s capacity to produce luxury goods at a fraction of their final cost in Western markets.
“Fight to the End”: China Defies Trump’s Tariffs, Betting on Internal Reform and Global Partnerships
The current US tariff on Chinese goods stands at 145%, while Beijing refuses to back down from increasing its retaliatory tariffs to 125%. Instead of attempting reconciliation with Trump, China appears to have adopted an alternative strategy focused on internal reforms and expanding its global economic partnerships.
This move aligns with Beijing’s pledge to “fight to the end” after being targeted by Trump’s tariffs. Chinese President Xi Jinping has also criticized the “unilateral bullying” by the United States, a sentiment echoed by his ministers, who have declared their unwillingness to yield to the “bully’s” demands.
It seems that these shocking videos represent part of a new Chinese strategy to counter US trade pressures by revealing the inner workings of the luxury goods industry and offering cheaper alternatives directly to global consumers.
