The Truth Behind Designer Brands - Pulls back the curtain on the glittering façade of the global luxury industry. From Chinese fur farms to Italian tanneries, the investigation exposes the human and animal suffering behind leather handbags, designer coats, and sky-high profits. A shocking yet necessary look at the price of glamour. The Truth Behind Designer Brands Director: Luc Hermann, Paul Moreira Production: Premières Lignes / France Télévisions Genre: Investigative Documentary, Society, Industry, Human Rights Country: France Language: French (English subtitled version available) Release Date: 2019 Duration: 52 minutes Filming Locations: Italy (Tuscany), China, France Broadcaster: France 2 / ARTE Synopsis: Produced by Luc Hermann and Paul Moreira for Cash Investigation, this hard-hitting documentary follows the hidden supply chains of the luxury sector — from raw materials to flagship boutiques. It reveals how over 70% of the industry’s profits come from leather goods, an immensely lucrative business sustained by exploitation. In Tuscany, undercover cameras capture migrant workers toiling in scorching heat, handling toxic chemicals in unsafe conditions to produce the world’s most coveted bags and shoes. In China, the team documents fur farms where animals are caged, abused, and slaughtered to satisfy the global appetite for luxury fashion. Through testimonies from laborers, whistleblowers, and ethical experts, Luxury: Behind the Mirror confronts the stark contrast between glamour and cruelty. The film challenges top fashion houses to face their responsibility: when image is everything, what happens to ethics, transparency, and humanity?
