my take on italy vs china.
it all depends on the QE, quality control
some things are made in china and turns out just as gd as everything else made anywhere else. IT JUST DEPENDS ON THE QE
for example: NIKE makes all there NIKE AIR stuff in CHINA, COLE HAAN makes all their nike air collection in CHINA because its the only freakin place in the world with the factory to do it. IS IT crap quality when cole haans are one of the most comfortable shoes in the world.....?
other things could also be made in china and turn out crap quality.
if we still remember GAP a few years ago, there stuff were crap, made in CHINA
now, some would say including myself the quality on GAP is a lot better than a decade ago and yet there stuff is still made in CHINA. So i never understood why people automatically assume MADE IN CHINA is bad.
On the other side, I work for a SHOE COMPANY (NO NAMES GIVEN)
we buy stuff made in ITALY and send designs to be made there as well but we don't have our own QE there and last year we calculated a 10% shrink due to returns on things that fall apart.
SO IN THE END, ITS ALL ABOUT THE QE
