For anyone to say that things from china are low quality, must also admit than everything in there house is low quality also from their stove, oven, computer, phones, electrical wire in their house, plumbing fixtures etc are all low quality also.
Great analysis - I agree that everything needs to be considered on a case by case basis. Country of origin doesn’t dictate the quality. What bothers me the most is when brands attempt to hide where their products are made. So often, I see companies heavily market themselves as “designed in New York” and “designed in Paris” while actively trying to obscure that their products are manufactured in China! It reeks of deceit and it the biggest turn off to me as a consumer - I want to see transparency.
Thank you. It’s bugs me too but consumers are harsh and incredibly unforgiven when it comes to Made in China. I don’t know how or if China will ever be able to soften that image. And hence brands will continue to play cat and mouse with country of production.
I see nothing wrong with China-made. However, the prices must reflect the fact that these are made in China where labour costs are lower. Or what I would really like to see, is brands increasing their wages to reflect the prices of these items in the West. I come from a country where I have seen exploitation of labour and I want no part of it. So my family takes a stance wherein we would only buy things that we are certain are made without slave labour. Even my teenagers refuse to buy from stores like Primark because they say they don't want to contribute to a problem.
Yes! It's so encouraging to hear someone saying no to Primark and being conscious and deliberate about it! You made my day. We will never see prices reflecting labour costs but what we can push for is better wages and working conditions.
@AminataYKanu I agree with Anesu, that we'll never see wages reflecting the prices charged, as the whole reason things are made in China is because of lower labour costs. However, I do think a wage that reflects local buying power is doable. And by this, I mean that a person in China should be able to afford the same standard of living as the equivalent trade in the west, this could work because a lot of local goods are generally cheaper in countries with lower rates of pay.
@danishpastry6137 exactly! There is an ongoing debate in the tourism hot countries in Africa because the facilities / accommodation rates exclude the locals when they are the ones who should be enjoying the spoils of their country first and foremost!
@@danishpastry6137 First and most importantly, I love your name. My favourite breakfast item.😂 And I agree with you, not just a living wage but a wage based on purchasing power parity to an equivalent job in the West.
@@SoAnesu I saw something recently about coffee growers having never tasted their own coffee, such a shame. It was partly to do with cost, but also because the coffee beans were roasted somewhere else, so the growers didn't have easy access to the finished product, nor did they have the knowledge to roast some beans for themselves.
You are such a classy lady. Thank you for telling us about your awful experience and how we shouldn’t stereotype. China does have the market for everything when it comes to luxury. I’ve even seen videos of Chinese workers in Italy and France working in factories in some of our favorite designers houses. I think it’s all mental, we hear China all of a sudden we hear child labor and cheap goods. However China is just there to give us what we can afford 😂😂😂 However if I’m spending a lot of money on bags I do not want it to say made in China. I can’t believe Burberry manufacturer some of their products in China. Thank you ❤❤❤❤
👏🏾 you said it “China is just there to give us what we can afford!” So many things are made in China that brands will never tell you about because they are scared you will run a mile.
The bad rap about China produced goods is undeserved, as Ms. Anesu explains. Western manufactures are the ones that determine the quality or lack of, these products contain. There are the producers of cheap stuff, and there are the producers of "high end" stuff.
China sells all sorts you have to find the right fit but too many people assume everything that comes from China is automatically low quality! Come on people!!
So I have a Coach bag from years ago (a hand me down) that actually says on the tag inside the bag Made in China. It’s a great bag! This past August I went into Coach and was looking at an Empire and a Rogue 39. I asked if they made their bags in China still and the manager got offended and said no. They actually make their bags in Vietnam. I got a Rogue 39 and would have bought it even if it was made in China. Like you said….case and case and Coach has amazing bags and leather goods. I want more transparency regarding where a product is made. The sales tag said made in Vietnam but the label in the Rogue 39 doesn’t say where it’s made. Great topic!.
Anesu, I am so loving this piece on China. I have noticed that increasingly, many top tier luxury brands are concentrating on Asia. This video made me remember that Loro Piana recently teamed up with Japanese designer Hiroshi Fujiwara in their first ever collaboration in brand history.
True， Le Creuset cookware brand also sells made in China tableware and they are very well made with beautiful colors. Actually you get what you pay for applies to a lot of products regardless of where they are made.
@@SoAnesu A lot of online comments stating Staub is better but I got a Le Creuset. Basically Le Creuset is easy to clean as well as long as the dish you are cooking contains sauce.
I was shocked by your story about London , but sadly not surprised . We like to think we live in a modern liberated more equal world , but I too have unfortunately had similar experiences over the years . Ofcourse the ignorance is all their own , and we should almost pity them . When it comes to China , the country has been through the same kind of economic boom and development similar to the US during the 50's and 60's ! You can't help admire its splendid rise over the last 30 years , with its gleaming cities , with clean safe streets , huge malls and bullet trains , Shanghai in many ways has become the NEW New York of the East !! The West was MORE than happy to snap up all goods from China , but are now peeved by their very success ! The irony is that China is actually NOT a threat , but possible good friend and ally that could help the whole world come together and move forward !! ( No , I am not a BOT for the CCP before anyone suggests it , I just recognise a success story when I see one ! ) Yet in the West we CONTINUE to view them with suspicion and mistrust ,...sadly much like that uneducated ex-neighbour ! In turn we should try to remain open minded about the quality of their products , stigma is SO UGLY ! 🙏🌍👨❤️👨❤
It’s rise has been spectacular and an education to many! I hope to visit China one day and I can wait! I was pleasantly surprised by Hong Kong and I can imagine China will be next level! In hindsight I wish I had also learnt Mandarin / Cantonese… It will also be interesting to see how things pan out with regards to the luxury slowdown - who would have thought the cash cow would dry up!
@@SoAnesu Unfortunately the world powers that be seem intent on warring rather than trading at this moment in time ! I still believe there can be peace through commerce and communication . We need to stop being suspicious of our ' neighbours ' and find peaceful and mutually respectful ways of coexisting ! Then we can ALL move on to a better future ! 🙏🌏❤️
I definitely agree with the case by case approach. I grew up in rural Wales, and it's fair to say that my experience of other ethnic groups was limited. Today, I'm a healthcare professional, and my experience has been broadened. Both by patients and by colleagues. Stereotypes exist for a reason, but that doesn't mean they're all-encompassing. I always think there are lessons to be learned from someone/ something not fulfilling the stereotype. As for China, I agree that you can't tar all with the same brush. Quality is both good and bad, as are working conditions. But at the same time, we've all heard of cases in the west of sweatshop-like conditions and poor quality manufacturing.
I like “but that doesn’t mean they’re all encompassing”. Let’s use a bit of discretion. The sweat shop issues are some Chinese factories, I agree, and also other countries. There are some factories doing good and the right thing in China. I’m in a Chinese crusade now 🤦🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
@SoAnesu re reading my comment I though it may be misunderstood - to clarify, we've heard about sweatshops existing in western countries, not just in China. I don't think I'd not buy something because it's Chinese, but I do think, regardless of where something was manufactured, we should all be doing our due diligence.
I learned this lesson purchasing clothing from the brand Anine Bing in the last few years. I was hesitant to purchase some pieces that were made in China but eventually realized that the fabrics and construction were of quality. Many of their items are made in Turkey as well, but I couldn’t complain about the quality at all. Regarding stereotypes, I still don’t understand how some people instantly react to someone’s skin color alone, no matter one’s personal experiences in life. I am a white person living in downtown Chicago where there is plenty of crime of all types. On a daily basis in my upscale neighborhood, I see homeless and other people who clearly are underprivileged in this life, of all skin colors and outward dispositions. I usually feel compassion for them and am not thinking to myself something about skin color being a factor. If it weren’t for the grace of god, that could be any one of us. I tend to give anyone who displays suspect BEHAVIOR a wide berth. I see plenty of people of all colors (including the color orange) that are problematic whether on the streets, in the corporate world, or in public office. Looks can certainly be deceiving and it goes both ways. I truly believe this in my soul and will happily take whatever comment someone wants to throw at me (being “woke”).
Ooh Abby 🤦🏾♀️”including the colour orange” Life is really about the Grace of God! Made my day reading that bit because I feel it’s so true. Turkey is a bit like China to me and I had to reprogramme my mindset. It’s a constant battle especially when it comes to leather goods.
@@SoAnesu I will assume you know who I am referring to! I don't generally comment on such things online and especially on a channel that covers light/fun topics - seems like asking for trouble but decided to throw caution to the wind in this moment 🤦♀ Glad that comment resonated with you 🙂 As for the manufacturing, I was told by an SA that clothing made in Turkey was desirable, but that could've been a sales ploy. The knitwear that I have from there is really well made and lovely.
@abbycatherine8135 lol he may become the head prefect of your country soon 🤷🏾♀️ Do you have prefects in the US schooling system? I need therapy when it comes to Turkey but I’ll get over it soon. Let me explore more brands from there.
It is not a commonly used title in the US! Yes, god save us all. I hope to meet you one day whether in London or Chicago so we can discuss further at that time 😂Now I’m curious as to what your experience has been with “made in Turkey”. I am not referring to leather goods, by the way, just clothing. Thank you, have a lovely evening ❤
So i also see china as the country people go to produce things cheaper. The country corporates go to make more money. When I buy luxury from brands that established themselves in Europe or US, and I see made in china… it comes to my mind directly: Ahhh so you moved production to make more money!!! I definitely would buy a high quality Chinese brand that produces in china.
I’m not too sure which products you are referencing but recently bought a Samsung TV - big plus, my iPhone big plus, dining room chairs big plus the list goes on…
I live in Australia and am white European. I was attacked by an Aboriginal 15 years ago in bright daylight in the middle of a street. I did nothing to her and she called me "a white cunt" and pulled my hair and hit me on my face. I still fear aboriginals when they approach me. Maybe this woman has had a similar experience. 🤷
What a shame that happened to you. If that’s the case, then it’s something you would both need to address and move on as it appears to be holding you both back and tainting subsequent and often unrelated encounters unnecessarily 🤷🏾♀️
@johannaw9166 Imagine being scared of millions of people because of one bad experience. Actually, the vast majority of white people who behave like the woman described are simply racists whose minds have been set by the stereotyping of black people in the media.
Disagree, I am not obligated to spend extra time and consideration sifting out the rare exceptions of quality products made in China. This includes brands like Dior that use Chinese factories that are located in Italy. The only reason to shift manufacturing to China is to decrease manufacturing cost so that the brand equity is even more lucrative. When I discover that a luxury brand is engaging in that type of strategy then I no longer consider them luxury. Also, I don't see how your interaction with the white Chelsea resident is relevant to the discussion. Chinese manufactured products have a bad reputation because of the lack of quality, not because of how they look. If anything people get fooled by the appearance only for the chintzy quality to be revealed after purchasing.
No one is expecting you to sift through anything, that’s my job! All I ask is don’t tarnish every Chinese brand with the same brush let’s do better! Cost is one of the reasons but not exclusively why brands opt for Chinese production. My interaction was relevant because being black she automatically assumed I was up to no good. When someone says something is made in China most people will flinch. The link is because being black doesn’t automatically mean I’m a thief and if something is made in China it doesn’t automatically equate to it being poor quality. Yes there are black thieves and yes there are poor quality products being made in China but it doesn’t apply to every single black person or every single product made in China. Not everything made in China is poor quality it’s a tad shallow and ignorant to assume that.
@@SoAnesuI did not say that everything made in China is of poor quality. Are strawman arguments shallow and ignorant as well? That aside Chinese goods have a well earned reputation for poor quality because the brands that outsource to low wage labor markets do not prioritize quality. If they did prioritize quality then they wouldn’t go through the trouble of outsourcing. Unfortunately this strategy is way too common and involves much more important industries but I digress. The woman in Chelsea reacted to you based purely on phenotype with no consideration to many other clues to inform her impression of you. People avoid Chinese manufactured products because of the known prevalence of poor (and some industries dangerous) quality. Both decisions were ones of exclusion but the thought processes that lead to them are completely different. I would respectfully ask you to use more caution in the future before making analogies to anti black racism. I have nothing at all in common with the poor quality Chinese products flooding the markets these days.
I’m not too sure I understand the point(s) you are making but how do you explain the quality of a brand like Lafayette 148 when you say nothing of noteworthy quality comes out of China? Having spent 4 years living next to a racist in Chelsea I have no issue calling her out and will continue to do so in the future together with other racists when in context to the content.
