Italian prosecutors found Dior paid $57 to produce bags retailing for $2,780


In recent months, Italian authorities raided Dior subcontractor workshops where people were working around the clock, they said.

The relevant unit of Dior didn't adopt "appropriate measures to check the actual working conditions or the technical capabilities of the contracting companies," a prosecution document said, according to Reuters. "It's not something sporadic that concerns single production lots, but a generalized and consolidated manufacturing method," court documents about the decision to place Dior under administration said, according to Reuters. "The main problem is obviously people being mistreated: applying labor laws, so health and safety, hours, pay," Fabio Roia, the president of the Milan Court, told Reuters earlier this year.
