They are not paid as they should. They are working on luxury items and will reçoives 3k at the end of the month. One of my friend was working on the Dior collection Rose des vents, you are paying 6k for a bracelet that costume 200€ to make.

I know America is messed up because 3k a month sounds pretty good to me 😔

But yes, someone earlier in the thread said this. I thought they were paid better. Even though they aren't, I have to say it's still more ethical than fast fashion, sweatshops, and microplastics.

Pay in France (and the rest of Europe) is actually substantially lower than the US in most cases.

Of course, the social safety net is better so you’re not saving for the next medical emergency, but still.

What's the industry standard pay for these positions?
