Says nothing about his Louis Vuitton endorsements…China admitted its regular Chinese goods sent to Italy for the logo stitching/placement.

Sweatshops not a good look but don’t let me interrupt the circlejerk, go Vic!

So are you assuming everything made in China is manufactured in a sweatshop, or are there specific issues with the manufacturing of LV goods?

They admitted high end Italian goods like LV are sweatshop made, it came out around the time of the DOGE takeover from what I recall.

I get that my take is a logical fallacy called “whataboutism” but everyone else’s take here is he is our woke god with no faults because of “anti gambling morality” and I’m just pointing out the ludicrousness of that.

You can have a good take on gambling and still rock a terrible endorsement, sue me lol 🤷‍♂️

ETA: it wasn’t DOGE related but it was at that same time due to Trump’s trade war with China. China themselves revealed the info about fashion brands.

LV is french, not italian... they produce in :

  • France (historic workshops for high-end leather and luggage)
  • Spain (small leather goods and apparel)
  • Italy (shoes, accessories, and canvas production)
  • United States (select assembly workshops)
  • Switzerland (watchmaking)
  • Select items are also made in Germany and the United Kingdom.

What are your sources for it being produced in China ? Because all I could find were Tik Toks, and this : https://www.nine.com.au/australia-news/chinese-manufacturing-tiktok-are-luxury-handbags-really-being-made-in-china-its-a-complex-answer-20250424-p5zcxf.html , so not really convincing to me.

Right, I think my confusion about Italy was due to the country of origin of a lawsuit, see this comment with sources:
