Luxury brand Loro Piana, owned by LVMH, faces a major sweatshop scandal.
A Chinese tailor revealed he worked 13-hour days for years, earning less than $5/hour, and was brutally beaten when he complained about unpaid wages.
A court sanctioned Loro Piana for failing to control its supply chain, alleging it used shell companies and ignored illegal sub-contracting to workshops that exploited workers.
This revelation significantly damages the brand’s reputation and raises critical questions about ethics in the luxury industry.
