    I certainly did not mean to connote that outsourcing shoemaking is somehow inferior. It's just a completely different process from making clothes, so it makes sense. m.a.+ makes virtually everything except the shoes in house, but it would require pretty much setting up an entirely different workshop and hiring people with a totally different set of skills to make shoes on premises.

    I was just at GUIDI and saw the entire shoemaking process from start to finish (they literally made a pair of boots from scratch just so I could see), and it was an amazing experience, but the point is it wouldn't make a difference if they owned the production facility or not.

      Im sure Simone just read this and will start doing this as well and go ahead and charge another $500 more for his "designs"..

        Better than screen printing a box logo on a tee and calling it design...

        Or charging hundreds/thousands for it...

        Edit: I am not supporting Simone doing this at all.

              I'd buy an A1923 Bogo for the sheer audacity of it.

                Lol, I would only buy A1923 if it was on sale at a %70 discount.

                The shoes are made well, for the most part, but Simone is definitely a blatant plagiarizing prodigy.

                  Is this the same when it comes to accessories and cosmetics? Who makes what for who in those industries, does anybody have some info?
