I know in the LV forum, some members only prefer to have the tag say "made in france." I don't care if mine says Sprain or USA so long as my bag doesn't fall apart in a day.
I buy for quality, functionality, and the classic lines of a bag regardless of where it was made. But that's just my .02!
My personal "not as it seems" favorite is knowing that BMWs are now made in Greenville, SOUTH CAROLINA!!!
When they first announced the plant was opening there, DH and I were in the rolling in floor at the mental images of a BMW pick-up truck with Playboy mud flaps, 5 foot tires and the little "Calvin peeing on a Mercedes" stuck on the window!
