[QUOTE="Oberrheiner, post: 1314822, member: 15788"] Not entirely, that's the thing. The high-end is still there, and it makes total economic sense to buy that, for us, right now. I'm not sure exactly how productive it is to talk about what could be maybe done in the future etc. Many in fact, we simply mostly don't know it - and yes, that includes the two you've cited, shoes and clothes. It's more of a mentality problem, instead of having a collection of $40 sneakers which will end up in the plastic continent, you should have 3 or 4 nice leather pairs made locally. Yes those will cost 3 or 400, but they will last you a lifetime, be more comfortable, healthier, and look much better of course. But to most people a $400 pair of shoes is just crazy. Except it's taken someone two to four days to make it - how much salary would you demand for 2-4 days of except hand work ? Plus materials, rent, taxes and whatever else .. [/QUOTE]
