Made in China – Totally Misunderstood Designer Handbag Fashion

Wow! What is all this confusion about “everything” made in China being counterfeit or fake? Do people understand the design and manufacturing process? Or are you simply determined to fight for one of the greatest resources in the manufacturing industry?

It is true that there has been a lot of media about the poor manufacture of children’s toys. Shame on China for the mess they have created. They will fix the problem, or lose business. We all learn from our mistakes, right? However, at least smart people learn. And, let’s face it, China is not a fool!

China has been making most of the clothing, shoes, bags and accessories stocked in the world’s major department stores for many, many years. And, this is not going to fade or disappear. China offers low-cost labor for low- and high-end designer handbags, clothing, and just about anything around the house.

Most people don’t understand the truth about the Made in China label. China has been producing most of the designer merchandise sold in the US for a long time. Because? Because the Chinese manufacturing price keeps prices as low as possible for consumers. People complain about the high prices of designer handbags, clothes, shoes and accessories. If the same item made in China were made in the US or Europe, prices would double or triple.

If the Hermes Birkin bag were hand-assembled in China instead of France, the price would not be $7,000.00 each. If Italian leather were sent to China for the assembly of Prada bags, the prices would not be $3,000.00 each. Please put things in perspective.

Burberry’s new management decided to use China for some of their assembly manufacturing needs and people went crazy. The idea of ​​wearing a designer handbag made in China is misunderstood, misconstrued, and wrong. The product made in China consists of the same quality of fabric as if it were made in the USA, France, England or Italy. The only difference is that the designer item was assembled in China or any other country that offers a cheaper assembly manufacturing process.

Most high-end designers buy fabrics, leathers, and materials from the US or Europe, pay a premium price for high-quality manufacturing, and then trade for manufacturing in China. The materials and specifications are sent to China and manufactured. Representatives from each of the design houses travel to China or other manufacturing countries to oversee the process. Finished products are shipped to the US and other parts of the world for sale. It’s a process that is kept sweet and as simple as possible. It creates jobs and produces a global economy.

Most consumers do not know the designer’s manufacturing process or understand the details. They see a Made in China label and assume it is a counterfeit or counterfeit item. Actually, it is not. It is a moderately priced item made in a country that has been stereotyped. And we can’t blame the consumer because most junk, counterfeit, and counterfeit merchandise that bears the trademarks of others is made in China. Hopefully, the US Customs Department, working closely with the fashion industry, will help crack down on the importation of counterfeit goods.

There are many countries available that fashion designers use to outsource labor. High-end leather designer handbags with high price tags are made in the US, Italy, London, and France. Lower-cost designer products are made elsewhere. Most designers offer collections each season that offer both high-end and lower-priced products. For example, Ralph Lauren has five collections determined by price and manufacture: RL Classics, Collection, Black Label, Blue Label, and Lauren. Also, many of the designers produce a separate collection for outlet stores and discount stores like Marshalls, TJ Max, Target, Walmart, etc.

Some of the countries are used more than others and yet they are countries with skills and cheap labor. Some of these countries include, among others, China, Turkey, Mexico, Romania, India, and Portugal.

Fashion designers who make designer bags, designer handbags, designer scarves, designer clothes, hats, shoes, etc. They use these countries because they can sell their products at affordable prices. Some of the fashion designers include but are not limited to Coach, Burberry, Liz Claiborne, Robert Rodriquez, Max Studio, Tommy Hilfiger, Ralph Lauren, Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, Kate Spade, Dooney & Bourke, Juicy Couture, Donna Karan, Anne Klein, Brighton and many, many others.

The fact that an item is made in China does not constitute a counterfeit or counterfeit. Let’s get this straight and communicate clearly. The reason the item was made in China is that, at the time, the designer’s manufacturing team decided that it was the best business decision to achieve profitable distribution of the product and collection of it.

Next time you see a Made in China label on a designer bag or accessory and you bought it from a trusted source, thank your lucky stars for the bargain price you paid. If you are in any doubt, take the item to the designer’s boutique for authentication and peace of mind. Don’t assume just because it’s made in China that it’s fake. You know what it means to assume, right?
