A viral trend on TikTok is causing concern among American consumers as Chinese suppliers claim to offer luxury products at significantly lower prices. Videos suggest that brands like Louis Vuitton and Hermès are manufacturing goods in China for a fraction of retail costs. This has led many shoppers to consider purchasing directly from these sources, believing the claims to be true. However, brands like Birkenstock maintain their products are 'Made in Germany.' The phenomenon raises questions about authenticity and branding in the luxury market, especially amidst ongoing tariffs impacting trade.
