Any info is good, I can differentiate when putting the list together, I think first some sort of brainstorming is good to see what we got.
This could also apply to designers who partly produce in China or unusual locations. I wanted to included this info in my OP but can not edit it anymore.
And thanks for the info everyone! Very helpful!
I am taking notes.
Do you think it would be good if the list notes where some contemporary designers produce since not ALL produce in China? That way a buyer could still pick and chose.
Yes, for the list to be useful it needs to be accurate and cover an array of brands, i guess what i mean is if someone says i will avoid all Longchamp because they are made in China? that is not true, some are.. many are not.. it can be confusing otherwise and creates sweeping generalizations.
The idea is good, KNOWLEDGE Is key, be an informed buyer i always say but your knowledge is only as good as the info can you get, so if it's lacking then your not gaining what you need to know to make informed choices.
