[CrazyCool01]

LVMH (LV and Dior) is selling their left over fabrics and leathers for cheap 4$ a metre. I saw this on insider and really shocked, what am i missing!? Is this normal !?

will counterfeiters not buy these left overs to make genuine fakes !??

The owner of Louis Vuitton and Dior is now selling unused luxury fabrics and leathers online from $4 a meter

Nona Source, which went live on Monday, sells leftover materials from LVMH's sought-after fashion brands, which include Dior and Louis Vuitton.

Take a look at the wares offered: just materials, with no resemblance to the brands' finished products. Not as if they're selling LV Damier and Monogram or whatnot.
Sustainability in luxury is a welcome development.

Thanks ! I think you are right so nothing with monogram then

Exactly. These are only generic non-branded materials, that were used to make ready-to-wear. Not bags. You can buy these elsewhere easily too.

I think it’s wonderful! Instead of destroying beautiful fabric, they are making it available from what I read only to designers, and people in the fashion industry to work their own magic with it. What a great chance as a small firm or a new designer to have access to luxe fabric that would go to waste! I think kudos to LVMH, and I swear it seems some collections they do lately utilize unsold bags that get new treatment (in the wild looks very familiar for example) and are back for sale again. There is SO much waste in fashion, this seems so smart. I wish LV and others would do what Telfar and Brandon Blackwood do - :bag or slg security: for some pieces. Let people order what they want and fulfill that instead of making wrong numbers of unliked items and not nearly enough of what people do like. That would cut down waste too.

I agree this is a welcome development. France has banned destruction of unsold items, and even if LVMH could just ship it somewhere else in Europe, there's no point working against a clear trend.

I have also seen items from past seasons popping up on 24s (LVMH owned online shopping store with LV, Dior and other brands), so it seems like they're trying different venues to dispose of stock without destroying it outright which is great.
