Italy raided factories & found that Armani and Dior bags are made by illegal Chinese workers in Italy who sleep in the workshop and make €2-3/hr. Both companies have been placed under Italian court administration.
Dior paid a supplier $57 to assemble* a handbag that sells for $2,780
Armani bags that were sold to consumers for €1,800 cost €93* to make.
(These don’t include raw materials costs)
People often wrongly conflate higher prices for higher ethical standards.
@AmericanAir serving eggs, carrots & tomatoes in first class… Really? It’s 2:36PM and I feel so bad for the crew who are embarrassed to have to provide this level of service. #badcustomerservice
@fasc1nate The steps in many of these medieval castle staircases were purposely of varying sizes. 5-7 steps may be similar and then the next step was much higher. This gave an advantage to defenders who knew the steps of their staircases.
To the disgrace that is the presence of the #Russian delegation of sanctioned war criminals at the @oscepa, I can only repeat what #Ukrainian border guards so eloquently put nearly a year ago when addressing a particular Russian warship. #OSCEPA#OSCE
