Do any luxury brands have factories in China?

In fact, many well-known brands have numerous product lines and employ dozens or even more than a dozen domestic manufacturers in China. For example, NIKE shoes are produced in four factories in Qingdao, and even more in Fujian and other places. The following information is for reference only.

After reading the above, do you have a better understanding of major luxury brands? Although most luxury brands are manufactured in China (over 60% of the world’s luxury goods are made in China, and 70% are purchased by Chinese consumers), to protect the historical reputation of the brand (such as century-old Italian craftsmanship) and brand premium, many products are sent abroad after completing the main processes. After inspection and personalized finishing by master craftsmen, they are labeled as “MADE IN ITALY” or “MADE IN FRANCE,” etc. Of course, PRADA has publicly stated that most of its products are made in China, which shows both courage and some helplessness.
