    why make a good sweater when its gonna last long? you need it to fall apart quickly so the customers come back! more money and profits for shareholders! why make when you can make a poor quality one and "brand" it to sell for a lot of money?

    The Official Artisanal "streetwear" footwear (boots, shoes, sandals) thread (Guidi, CCP, Augusta, M.

    I dont know how long it takes to make the boots, but aesthetics is a central aspect of many artisanal brands.
