I have to check that book out.Originally Posted by quizvan
Hey Posh -- I found DeLuxe to be a very interesting book -- Dana Thomas does mention how most of the design houses (Hermes being a notable exception) do manufacture wholly or partially in China -- then they attach the handles or the tags in France or Italy and -- voila! -- it's "Made in France" or "Made in Italy" -- so much for the quality differentiation of the authentic vs. the replica, right? Another good book is KnockOff by Tim Phillips.
LOL, Kimora Lee Simmons has about 12 inches, 100 pounds and 30 LV trunks on me....I guess that makes my hubby with his trash bag and backpack Russell?...
Anyways, there's another good argument for saving a few bucks by skipping the gen in favor of buying the rep -- gotta put fuel in the G-V
Interestingly enough, I remember looking for a cookware set on Amazon. They had a brand called Maitre Chef. The reviews said it was good but one particular review said it had to be All-Clad because the pans and stuff were IDENTICAL to All-Clad. The review said the weight was the same, materials and the only thing changed was the name. The reviewer thought that it must come from the same factory as the All-Clad. Needless to say, that cookware is sold out and hasn't been back in stock since that review. That was like 3 years ago.
Well, your hubby would have to be Djimon Honsou since she divorced Russell and is seeing him. LOL
