Luxury Goods' Shift from Durability to Disposability
Recent viral videos and consumer complaints reveal that some high-end luxury brands like Miu Miu and Maison Margiela are producing products that fall apart quickly, raising concerns about declining quality in the luxury sector due to cost-cutting, outsourcing, and a focus on profits over craftsmanship. This has sparked social media outrage and calls for industry reform, with experts noting a shift away from traditional artisanal practices and a rise in mid-market brands emphasizing quality and value.
