I hate to break the news to you but a lot of those "designer goods" come out of the exact same Chinese factories that you say makes schlock. |
Agree, which is just to say quality is a consumer choice. There are foreign factories that produce high quality goods. The reverse is not true. People who want a made-in-us label know to keep the constructions simple. Quality of materials is a separate decision, but there isn't much domestic sourcing. |
