Amidst US President Donald Trump’s crippling tariffs on imported goods, Chinese manufacturers have found a new way to reach American consumers directly. The world of social media is flooded with viral videos of Chinese suppliers showcasing luxury brands like Birkin and Louis Vuitton. They claim to offer these premium products and handbags at a fraction of their retail price. For example, a Hermès Birkin bag that would typically cost upwards of $10,000 in the U.S. is now available directly from some Chinese suppliers for as little as $1,400.
Chinese manufacturers and content creators are revealing shocking truths about how the premium fashion items are actually made in China before being sold with their sky-high price tags.
