Episode notes
Videos Claim Direct Factory Sales
- Viral videos on TikTok and X claim to sell luxury goods directly from Chinese factories at steep discounts.
- These factories allege using the same materials and craftsmanship but skip brand markups.
Luxury Brands Deny Chinese Production
- Louis Vuitton products are not made in China; Lululemon works with approved manufacturers mostly not shown in viral videos.
- Birkin bags are made in France, so claims of Chinese factory production are false.
Legal Risks of Counterfeit Goods
- Buying luxury goods claiming to be direct from Chinese factories usually means purchasing knockoffs.
- Personal possession of fakes isn't illegal but reselling counterfeit items is against the law.
