True or Misinformation???

Just watched this youtube video about you make those fancy very expensive ladies bags and thought it might be of some interest.

Is it true or misinformation I don't know but it does make one wonder.

I find it quite believable, after all that's why any company has things made in China - cheaper manufacturing costs. Made in China doesn't automatically mean it's going to be cheap and nasty. The real issue is if the companies are claiming to have made the product locally by "skilled artisans" but haven't (and on face value that seems to be the case).

I doubt it. My teacher used to work in the prototyping department of Delvaux. After prototyping a new bag it goes to the factory in Brussels where people in aprons and white gloves work in complete silence on an assembly line, each performing one specific task over and over again.

In Belgium this story was fact checked and considered misleading. Luxury brands typically require subcontractors to sign NDAs. Some of those luxury parts can well be made in China and some assembly done too, but not by the people in the video clips (one of those manufacturers apparently has a website registered only in Feb 2025 and and used to sell Chinese electric cars a year ago).
