LVMH, the largest luxury fashion group, echoed the view that while its brands may have strict guidelines on suppliers, they were not direct buyers of raw materials. The maker of cotton items including Louis Vuitton’s canvas “Neverfull” handbags, Dior book totes, Givenchy t-shirts and Kenzo hoodies declined to say how much of the material came from China or Xinjiang, instead pointing out that its cotton mainly came from other places like India, the US, Egypt, and Turkey and was “mostly” certified by trade groups like the Better Cotton Initiative.
