Hella Heaven: Luxurious brands "Made in China"?

It’s because you didn’t buy a luxurious product from a luxurious brand.

Tommy Hilfiger is a designer brand, sure, and their products are more expensive than a no-name jacket at any run-of-the-mill store, but they aren’t really a “luxury” brand.

A luxury brand is something like Versace- their products probably take months to design each and are painstakingly crafted in Italy with immaculate attention to detail. Consequently, their cheapest products are probably more than triple the price of the jackets you purchased. Their products are more art than they are clothes.

And Tommy Hilfiger isn’t really like that. They have an entirely different brand image- one that’s focused more around the image of an upper-middle-class sporty American. And that’s not a bad thing by any means- it’s just not luxury-oriented.

Their clothes are still mass produced, and since it’s so expensive to make things like clothes in the United States, they chose to go to China where it’s a lot cheaper to make the exact same product.

And that isn’t really a bad thing. Just because something was made in China doesn’t mean it’s poorly made, contrary to popular belief. If the jacket had been made in the United States, it would have been noticeably more expensive for no real discernible increase in quality to most people.

It's America, honey. Everything is made in China. It's just cheaper that way.
