And there's nothing wrong with that. I prefer simplicity but I don't have a preference over where the merchandise comes from, as long as it's good quality and fits the requirement I intend for the product. I've traveled around and read enough books to know most countries in the world are more or less the same. Sometimes people like to think others are different/inferior because it makes them feel better about their situation. I'm not to judge. Any method of elimination, any reason not to buy instead of buy, to me, is a good thing. We certainly don't need that much "stuff" in the world.

I can imagine how difficult that must have been. I think it's interesting that he wouldn't buy from China, considering his wife's origins.

@Cafe Fashionista that happens more often than you think! I believe we do need to become more well-informed consumers. :)

One of our clients was gentle man who would not buy anything mad ein China. His wife was Chinese & refused to support that country in any way shape or form after becoming a citizen here. I always felt really bad when I had to work with him, becuase there was so much he would have liked to buy for her, BUT couldn't. Yet in the same way it was AMAZING to see someone stick to their principles. About 14 yrs ago I worked at Victoria’s Secret.
