Trouble and opportunity
Really, it doesn't matter where it's made that shit shouldn't cost that much. For decades we knew thar Air Jordan's were made in China for $5 and black folk still paid that high end money for that bullshit. Niggah gonna have to boycott them bitches to make them prices go down. Will we do that?

Honestly, how much does it cost for Volkswagen to manufacture a Bugatti, which they sell for 4 to 5 million dollars? You can’t even purchase a brand-new Ferrari from an authorized dealership if you’ve never owned a Ferrari before. The same applies to certain types of Rolex watches; you can’t even buy them if you haven’t purchased a Rolex before.
In my opinion, this is simply a matter of class. People want someone to look down upon and say, “You can’t afford it,” By the way, it’s not necessarily a better product.
I remember making this thread five years ago.

People already know the bullshit luxury goods they buy cost 7 dollars to make in a Chinese sweat shop, humans are dumb and are drivin by pats on the back and the material worshipping dummies, All they care about is that the tag is right and the bar code/identifier of legitimate merchandise checks out so the can "flex" on those they see as inferior.
This will change nothing, hell the pandemic showed us all how companies will squeeze the last penny out of our wallets while the world burns and it didn't change a thing, those same companies continue to make record profits and the same government that was in charge when it was allowed to happen is now back on power with even less checks and balances.
Humans iz stupid.

Fake news from bootleggers. Don’t fall for the okie doke. Take it from a brotha with a successful clothing brand.
Man, Lulu, Louis, Hermes, Gucci & them are going to have to go full Milli Vanilli sanging at a press conference. Meaning they're going to have to show their factories in Italy, France, & where have you with French and Italian workers doing the damn thing. Nahmean?

Folks spending $1500 on knock-offs is wild.
My big sister has been into Gucci and Louie purses and shit since the 80s. I remember her going to Harrods to buy purses back in the early 90s. Said that to say I've been around them jawns for decades and have to say that some of these new knock offs are pretty damn good. Some shit you just gotta know the shit to know that they're fakes. Even down to serial numbers and what have you on the bags seemed legit. However; I wouldn't suggest you buy them for your old lady, though, without her knowing at least.
Also, I don't get the plan here. Even at $5 for Lulu Lemon & Jordans, you still got to pay the 140% tariffs on the jawn to get it here, and you'd be back where you started; if not more

Been known this since the 90s on my 1st deployment, always came back with all kind of goodies some of which where not even released in the states to months later. On top of that there are tons of products we might never get here because they are way better than American products and cheaper.
Anyone that has been deployed overseas to places like Korea know that you can get good quality stuff cheaper and have them brand or stitch whatever you want onto the product. No one in the states would know the difference. That's why we went over their light and came back heavy. Luxury has always been a scam.
