Before you purchase....

That $1,000 + handbag you might want to read this...

I'm sure the quality of the workmanship is every bit as good if done by a well trained Chinese crafts person as by a well trained Italian crafts person.

So the question becomes - Why are they under paying the Chinese worker if their skill is just as fine? And if they are, why are they charging so much for their bags when they are paying more or less pennys for the labor?

Looks like folks are getting reamed on both ends of the process - the workers and the buyers! :-p
