Does anybody know where i can find information on which country manufacturers a particular brands clothes please ?
What I like about this thread is that it reveals how fashion forward, oh excuse me, style conscious individuals tend to be highly unpatriotic. Let's be frank here, since we are talking more or less about "luxury" products made in China, how a product is made should have more than an emotional impact on the purchasing price.
Concerning luxury products, regardless of manufacturing origin, there seem to be people in three camps:
1. Those who oppose expensive Chinese goods: yuppies
2. Those who don't give a ****: moneyed class
3. Those who care but not enough to give a ****: everyone else
I traverse between 1 and 3 but never 2. The reason is that I earn every cent I make and I want the best quality for the amount I pay.

Well, it depends on the product, but I'd say that the level of duplicity in origin marketing is just as bad on the Western side. I've recently seen a resurgence of "made in Europe" --sketchy Romanian, Bulgarian, Russian minds at work here. So made in China is like a beacon of authenticity for me...I know it was made by Chinese people. Made in USA, depending on the product, means made by Chinese, Blacks, Whites, Mexicans, etc. I looked at the sauce labels in a Chinese restaurant the other day and to my surprise everything was US made. I really don't know how to feel about it since this necessarily implies that my Chinese dish uses American components.

Do we have some hidden racial bias here? Why TF are you throwing race into this discussion as if it were relevant?
Do you realize how many different races are native to China?
