But I can't throw rocks on this one.

Any of you read 'How luxury lost it's luster' by Dana Thomas?
Country of production doesn't seem to make such a difference in terms of quality, apparently.
Arctyrex even produces part of their collection in Bangladesh.Last edited by beyondthemeans; 08-12-2016, 08:02 AM.

But obviously, Zara is not known for the quality of their clothes. So really, the quality of the clothes is in large part a business decision, with the choice of the country of production being one part of the equation.

Seems like Zara, H&M, Uniqlo, et al are having serious impacts to other traditional venues as such. Different stance and viewpoint, I suppose.

RO dustbags are super useful, I'd be looking to buy one of those super big ones once the one I have breaks. But tags? That's just crazy
(Actually if someone has à super big RO dustbag they don't use, pm me, I feel I should have another one, just in case, I use it to carry my baby's stuff when we travel, and we travel à lot)
