Honestly, I would regret it if I didn't talk about this topic. I am discussed and honestly not surprised this is something we all have had in the back of our mind but never was quite sure about it. But now I did my resource and I know the truth, the real face of your favorite luxury brands. Honestly, I don't own any luxury brand bag, jacker, shoes... But we all know that one friend, YouTuber or neighbor that can't live without it.
And I don't have to have my niche or be approved as a zero-waste, vegan hippy to talk about this crime.

1.TERRIBLE WORK CONDITIONS
People are dying and losing parts of their body by working on the leather. They are exposed to painstaking death or animals. Working for 13 hours daily for only a small amount of money, not more than 30$. Sometimes they aren't even paid for 4 months, trying to kindly talk to the boos they are attacked.
2.ANIMALS
Guess how much rabbits daily die for that fur jacket?
10,000 furs per day!! and during peak times they can reach 30,000
My stomach just dropped, if this isn't a crime I don't know what it is. They are keeping animals in cages, size like that animals, multiple rabbits are even chambered together Animals are suffering from anger, tumor, health problems and they all die in just a minute. Foxes, raccoons, cows there are millions of them died this week and we don't even know.
3.INFLUENCE
We all view Gucci, Fendi, Prada, Louis Vuitton, Max Mara, Guess, Tommy Hilfiger... as wealth as something if you have this you are popular and beautiful. Dozens of influencers are making a shit thons of vlogs and haul on luxury items but why. Because they truly don't know the real story behind that logo. If you just remove that specific brand logo it would be a purse without purpose for them. But with the logo, they are popular and above everyone.
I don't have anything against a human I have against the main boss of all of this, and the people who have a heart for killing those animals.All I want for you is to be more mindful and smart and think about who are you getting influenced by, why you think this bag is so beautiful and important. Is it really worth the death of humans and animals?
For me after this documentary and Kristen Leo opening my eyes to the real side of this world. Luxury is not representing that thin and sick model on the billboard, it represents the death of animals and racism on humans.
You are wearing a crime.
Next blog post will be more positive but honestly I want to use my voice and this platform for good.
